Whistler Center conducts fundamental research related to practical applications of carbohydrates.
About us
Whistler Center for Carbohydrate Research is a university-industry research center that conducts fundamental research related to practical applications of carbohydrates. The Center provides world-class excellence in focused areas of carbohydrate research, communication related to the research areas, analytical services, and education. It works in partnership with companies to extend uses of carbohydrates, hydrocolloids in general, other biopolymers, and cereals. It serves carbohydrate-producing and carbohydrate-utilizing and related industries through: •generation of fundamental information targeted for new technology development •providing young scientists educated to understand and work with carbohydrates and related biopolymers via education which stresses application of knowledge of their chemistry, fundamental properties and behaviors, structures, and dynamics •providing unique problem-solving capabilities In partnership with industrial sponsors, the Center searches for understandings of structure-function relationships of starches, hydrocolloids, and low-molecular-weight carbohydrates through application of leading-edge technology.

Individuals with ulcerative colitis are often advised to not to consume dietary fiber because it can exacerbate their symptoms. Edward Moncada, a Ph.D. candidate in Dr. Lavanya Reddivari's lab, is conducting research to identify fibers based on their physical-chemical properties that these individuals can consume without having adverse effects. Learn more about the impact of Edward's research and his contributions to the Whistler Center's mission: https://lnkd.in/gFJrmh7U

‼️Check out this recent publication by Mario M. Martinez and Wanxiang Guo diving into new ways to utilize bread waste! 🍞Research such as this provides excellent routes to creating a more #sustainable future! ♻️Excellent work! ✅
Associate Professor (Profesor Titular) at Universidad de Valladolid and Aarhus University
📢 For the first time, we report the potential repurposing of #breadwaste into #bioplastics. In this first study, Wanxiang Guo provides insights into the molecular and supramolecular changes in wheat endosperm biopolymers during the bread-making process. These "transformations" could have implications not only for the potential of bread waste as bioplastics but also as feedstock for fermentation processes or as nutrients if redistributed into the food supply chain. We aim to open new avenues for exploring the large-scale #upcycling of bread waste into valuable products. BIG thanks to Independent Research Fund Denmark for funding this research. #starch #arabinoxylan #gluten #polysacharides #plantcellwalls Department of Food Science, AU FOOD, Julia Spotti, Guillermo Portillo, Jose Bonilla, Wenqiang BAI
