چکیده
Gum acacia is a potent drug having diverse pharmacological effects and wide therapeutic potential. It is used in diarrhoea and dysentery, irritations and ulcers of the stomach and intestine. It is also used in haemoptysis, bleeding piles, menorrhagia, leucorrhoea and spermatorrhoea. Keeping in view the high medicinal importance physico-chemical studies of the drug obtained from Dawakhana Tibbiya College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh has been done. The parameters applied for the present study include extractive value, ash value, moisture content, TLC, pH value, qualitative phytochemical studies and fluorescent analysis.

Studies on uronic acid materials and structure of Acacia decurrens gum polysaccharide
The polysaccharide exuded by Acacia decurrens trees contains residues of D-galactose , LArabinose , L-Fucose and Dglucuronic acid. An examination of the OMethyl derivatives of the gum yields 2,3,4,6 tetra –O-methyl –D-galactose, 2,3 –di-O-Methyl –L-arabinose , 2,3,4-triO-methyl-D-galactose, 2,4-di-O-methyl-D-galactose together with 2,3,4 tri-O-methyl-Dglucuronic acid by acid hydrolysis. The deg...
متن کاملPersian Gum: A Novel Natural Hydrocolloid
Over the past few decades, scientists have paid special attention to studying novel and natural hydrocolloids due to the growing demand for ready meals, public awareness on the importance of natural fibers in daily diets, and their wide range of application, especially in foods, pharmaceuticals and herbal medicine. Moreover, natural hydrocolloids are preferred to biotechnologic ones (e.g., gell...
متن کاملThermochemical Properties of Hydrophilic Polymers from Cashew and Khaya Exudates and Their Implications on Drug Delivery
Characterization of a polymer is essential for determining its suitability for a particular purpose. Thermochemical properties of cashew gum (CSG) extracted from exudates of Anacardium occidentale L. and khaya gum (KYG) extracted from exudates of Khaya senegalensis were determined and compared with those of acacia gum BP (ACG). The polymers were subjected to different thermal and chemical analy...
متن کاملStability analysis of primary emulsion using a new emulsifying agent gum odina
Gum odina and various parts of the plant Odina wodier are traditionally used in Indian folk medicine. Here an effort was made to investigate the efficacy of gum odina as new pharmaceutical excipients, in particular, as an emulsifying agent. Primary emulsion was prepared using wet gum method taking oil: water: gum (4:2:1) with gum acacia powder as an emulsifying agent. This was used as a standar...
