KGM and its derivatives have been widely used in food science, chemical, pharmaceutical, and material areas. In this review, we will focus on the most recent advances in the structures and properties of KGM. We will first describe the influence of different modification methods on the structures and properties of KGM. Then we will review the results obtained with KGM as functional materials in different studies in the fields of hydrogels, aerogels, nanoparticles, membrane materials, microspheres and microcapsule to provide theoretical basis for the further study.展开更多

In this study, the distributions of the absolute molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity of SMP polysaccharides from an AnMBR were effectively determined by a high pertbrmance size exclusion chromatography （HPSEC） that was coupled with the refractive index （RI）,cliode array UV （DAUV）, right and low angle light scattering （LS）, and viscometer （Vis） detectors.

Two factors which can be derived from the tetra-detector HPSEC analysis were proposed for the characterization of the viscous and osmotic pressure properties of the SMP polysaccharides. In addition, it was also extrapolated how to analyze the resistance characteristics of the concentration polarization layers formed in membrane filtration based on the molecular properties determined by the tetra-detector HPSEC analysis.展开更多
