The recent progress in the research of extraction and functional applications of basil seed gum

Basil seed gum (BSG) is a new hydrophilic colloid of natural plant origin. Extracted from basil seeds, it possesses excellent functional characteristics in terms emulsification, rheology, gelation, stability, and adsorption, which are just as favorable those certain commercial gums. Besides, BSG has been widely used food, medicine, industry, many other fields for its physiological functions weight reduction, detoxification, control blood sugar cholesterol good dietary fiber. In this paper, we analyzed discussed the extraction procedures, composition structures, characteristics, modification strategies BSG. addition, summarized latest research on applications different industries to provide theoretical references high-value processing utilization
