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...

The adsorption of Acacia gum from two plant exudates, A. senegal and seyal, at the solid-liquid interface on oxide surfaces was studied using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). impact hydrophobic electrostatic forces capacity investigated by different surface, hydrophobicity, charge properties, varying ionic strength or pH. results highlight that have higher impa...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of browse tree leaves meals on growth performance and parasite load naturally parasitized yearling goats. Thirty-six Arsi-Bale bucks which were with helminths randomly allocated one following feeding treatments; T1 = Chloris gayana grass hay ad lib + 100g concentrate, T2 dried Acacia tortilis leaves, T3 seyal T4 senegal T5 Millettia ferruginea T6...

Thirteen indigenous and exotic Acacia species grown in Saudi Arabia were evaluated for their host status for Meloidogyne javanica in pot tests both in the growth chamber and under outdoor conditions. In both experiments, 21-day-old seedlings were transplanted individually into 15-cm-diam. plastic pots containing a steam-sterilized mixture of equal parts loam and sandy loam. Seedlings were inocu...

Lectins are present in microorganisms, plants and animals and have attracted great interest due to their varied physiological roles in cell agglutination, anti-tumour, immunomodulatory, antifungal and antiviral effects. Legume lectins are important to the pharmaceuticals but they are produced in low amounts in the plant seeds. Moreover, the genes controlling these proteins are conditionally act...

BACKGROUND Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) or kala-azar cases in seasonal labour migrants from highland areas are addressed to travel history to the Metema-Humera lowlands, northwestern Ethiopia. Factors that affect the incidence of VL in extra-domestic habitats were not evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate sero-prevalence of Leishmania donovani infection in randomly selected labour mig...

Phytoremediation is an environmental technology in which plants are used for decontamination of organic and inorganic pollutants from soils water. Acacia seyal Delile was tested it ability to degrade crude oil contaminated soil four concentrations 0.5, 1, 1.5 2% (w/w) oil. Plant parameters, degradation percentage, retention time bacterial count were calculated. Results showed that at the end gr...
