The aim of the present study was to determine the remineralization effects of xylitol chewing gum containing funoran and calcium hydrogenphosphate on enamel subsurface lesions in humans. The study was a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design, with 4 types of gum: (1) xylitol gum, (2) xylitol gum containing funoran and calcium hydrogenphosphate, (3) sugar gum, and (4) gum base as a control....

abstract: this paper presents the results of studies concerned with the preparation of fresh food foams based on egg white and various hydrocolloids including iranian gum tragacanth, guar and xanthan gums at different concentrations (0.002-0.040% w/w). the basic physical parameters of the obtained foams such as overrun, stability and morphology of gas bubbles were measured. viscosity measuremen...

In this work, the objective is to utilize avocado seed extract as a cheap alternative source of active compounds and was successfully encapsulated using gum arabic by spray drying an antioxidant antimicrobial agent. First, were extracted from solvent n-hexane followed separation rotary vacuum evaporator. Next, encapsulation agent added form emulsion, then spray-dried with air at temperature 140...

Background. Gum arabic is a potential sensitizer in food industry. Methods. We examined 11 candy factory workers referred to examinations due to respiratory and skin symptoms paying attention to exposure and sensitization to gum arabic. Skin tests, pulmonary function tests, and respiratory provocation tests were carried out as indicated by the symptoms and findings. Results. Occupational asthma...

Cognitive effects of glucose from chewing gum and other mechanisms can be investigated further when factors like the flavouring of the gum and the participants' familiarity with gum chewing are assessed.

BACKGROUND The Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) provides instructions for constructing uncertainty intervals for a measurement. This method is usually reserved for reference materials, but GUM has been recently proposed as a way to express uncertainty for commercial diagnostic assays. METHODS Using the official GUM standard and published applications of GUM to comme...

The development of sugarfree gum provided the possibility of a noncariogenic alternative to sugared gum. Chewing sugarfree gum results in a rise in plaque pH, in contrast to the pH fall observed with sugared gum. This is due to the stimulation of the flow of saliva, with the resulting increase in level of bicarbonate and thus alkalinity. At the same time the plaque microflora do not produce sig...

This study concerns the evaluation of natural gum copal and gum damar as novel sustained release matrix forming materials in tablet formulation. Along with the physicochemical properties, gum copal and gum damar were characterized for molecular weight, polydispersity index and glass transition temperature. Matrix tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique using isopropyl alcohol as a gr...

Spinach (Basella alba) is a popular green leafy vegetable its seeds contain non-exudate gum which may have gelling and stabilizing properties important in food industry applications. Presently, most of the commercially available grade gums are imported, thus it necessity to look for locally inexpensive alternatives. Basella alba seed was scrutinized present study get better insight regarding th...

AIMS To determine the possibility of using guar gum, a colloidal polysaccharide, as a cheap alternative to agar for gelling microbial culture media. METHODS AND RESULTS As illustrative examples, 12 fungi and 11 bacteria were cultured on media solidified with either guar gum or agar. All fungi and bacteria exhibited normal growth and differentiation on the media gelled with guar gum. Microscop...
