Isolation, characterizaton and acute toxicity study of Terminalia elliptica (Saj) gum, Buchanania lanzan (Chironji) gum and Albizia lebbeck (Siris) gum

The current investigation was focused on the collection, isolation, purification and acute toxicity study of Saj (Terminalia elliptica) gum, Chironji (Buchanania lanzan) gum Siris (Albizia labback) gum. Each gums were collected from bark tree, isolated evaluated for various parameters. results showed total ash content 3.23± 0.61 %, 3.54± 0.69 % 4.53 ± 0.02 loss drying 10.31 ±0.7%, 6.8± 0.50% 8.41 0.31%, viscosity (4% w/v aqueous solution) 42±0.95cps , 38 ±.61 cps 77 0.23 Swelling index 91.00± 1.69 89.42± 1.93 128.94± 2.02 hausner’s ratio 1.23± 0.06, 1.18± 0.05 1.12± 0.03, compressibility 19.04± 1.01 15.73± 0.96 12.86± 0.94 angle repose 23.37±0.03 0 16.04±0.150 13.37±0.21 pH 4.23 to 5.58 4.20 5.05 4.89 5.29 respectively Various qualitative photochemical tests confirmed presence carbohydrates protein while absents alkaloids, tannin, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids steroids in all these gums.
