Extraction, purification and assessment of galactomannan from fenugreek seeds

Introduction and Aim: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graceum) is extensively cultivated in several Asian nations. The leaves seeds of this plant are well recognized for their potential against diabetes, some cancers imparting immunity. They often employed as adhesives emulsifying agents. Polysaccharides can be found abundance fenugreek seeds. Galactomannan, a water-soluble polysaccharide, efficiently reduces the surface tension increases viscosity liquids. Materials Methods: In study, simple method extracting purifying galactomannan was developed. It produced from plant's purified by centrifugation isopropyl alcohol (IPA) spirit precipitation methods. Results: presence carbohydrates Molisch test an absence reducing sugar Fehling’s revealed. pH 6.37, its foaming capability 14.28 %. Galactomannan gum to possess 81 % capacity. revealed that capacity hold water 1480% ability oil 268%. Conclusion: contrast guar locust bean which various industries thickeners, emulsifiers stabilizers, galactomannan, effective affordable stabilizing products.
