Extraction, Characterization, and Molecular Weight Determination ofSenna tora(L.) Seed Polysaccharide

Extraction, Characterization, and Molecular Weight Determination of Senna tora (L.) Seed Polysaccharide

The objective of the present work was extraction of polysaccharide from Senna tora L. seed and its characterization as a pharmaceutical excipient. Polysaccharide extraction was based on mechanical separation of the endosperm of seeds of Senna tora, water dissolution, centrifugation, and precipitation with acetone. Standard procedures were used to study the viscosity, micromeritic properties, an...

Polymer Characterization: Polymer Molecular Weight Determination

Polymers are large molecules consisting of a large number of small component molecules chemically linked together. They are made from constituent monomers through polymerization process. Polymers are unique materials in that they consist of a statistical distribution of chains of varying lengths, and each chain consists of monomer residues which affect its properties hence they require several ...

Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of a New Polysaccharide Obtained from the Fresh Fruits of Abelmoschus Esculentus

This paper is the first multi-scale characterization of the fluidize-dried gum extracted from the fresh fruits of the plant Abelmoschus esculentus. It describes the physical, thermal, sorptional and functional properties of this natural gum. Elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), particle size analysis, X-ray powder diffraction (XPRD), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differe...
