Biopolymer-based sequestrants for lowering cholesterol: Structures, in vitro bile acid anion binding effects, and interaction mechanisms

Biopolymers are often used in foods and pharmaceuticals as sequestrants of bile acid anions (BAAs) to reduce cholesterol. However, the in vitro BAA binding effects of biopolymer-based sequestrants (BPBSs) and the corresponding structure–activity relationships have not yet been fully clarified. This...
