In this study, composite gel was prepared from konjac glucomannan (KGM) and fibrin (FN). Composite gels with different concentration ratios were compared in terms of their mechanical properties, rheological properties, water retention, degradation rate, microstructure and biocompatibility. The results showed that the composite gels had better gel strength and other properties than non-composite gels. In particular, composite hydrogels with low Young's modulus formed when the KGM concentration was 0.8% and the FN concentration was 1.2%. The two components were cross linked through hydrogen-bond interaction, which formed a more stable gel structure with excellent water retention and in-vitro degradation rates, which were conducive to myogenic differentiation of ectomesenchymal stem cells (EMSCs). KGM-FN composite gel was applied to the preparation of cell-culture meat, which had similar texture properties and main nutrients to animal meat as well as higher content of dry base protein and dry base carbohydrate.
在这项研究中,从魔芋葡甘聚糖(KGM)和纤维蛋白(FN)制备了复合凝胶。比较了不同浓度比的复合凝胶在机械性能、流变性能、保水性、降解率、微观结构和生物相容性方面的差异。结果表明,复合凝胶的凝胶强度和其他性能优于非复合凝胶。特别是当 KGM 浓度为 0.8%,FN 浓度为 1.2%时,形成具有低杨氏模量的复合水凝胶。两种成分通过氢键相互作用交联,形成具有优异保水性和体外降解率的更稳定的凝胶结构,有利于外胚间充质干细胞(EMSCs)的肌生成分化。KGM-FN 复合凝胶应用于细胞培养肉的制备,其具有与动物肉相似的质地特性和主要营养素,且干基蛋白和干基碳水化合物含量更高。
