parkia biglobosa starch was subjected to different heat-moisture treatment (hmt) at different moisture contents (15, 20, 25, and 30%) at 110oc for 16 hours. the content of resistant starch (rs) was the lowest (33.38%) in the untreated native parkia and increased in the samples with hmt-15 (37.79%), hmt-30 (39.64%), hmt-25 (46.63%), and hmt-20 (50.14%), showing significant increase (p < 0.05) in...

BACKGROUND Most of the previous studies regarding the effects of gel-forming fibres have considered the gastric emptying of liquid or solid meals after the addition of pectin or guar gum. The influence of locust bean gum, on gastric emptying of nutrient semisolid meals in humans has been less well studied, despite its common occurrence in foods. Using a standardised ultrasound method, this stud...

We describe an integrated and straightforward new analytical protocol that identifies plant gums from various sample sources including cultural heritage. Our approach is based on the identification of saccharidic fingerprints using mass spectrometry following controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. We developed an enzyme cocktail suitable for plant gums of unknown composition. Distinctive MS profiles ...

The effect of adding xanthan gum and locust bean gum at low concentrations (0.15% w/w) on the freeze/ thaw stability of white sauces prepared with native starches from four different sources (corn, waxy corn, potato, and rice) was investigated. Linear viscoelastic properties were taken as structural indicators and these and syneresis as indicators of the freeze/thaw stability of the sauces. The...

The effect of the interaction of iota-carrageenan (ICG) or lambda-carrageenan (LCG) with locust bean gum and carboxymethylcellulose on the properties of ice cream was studied employing a mixture design approach. A model formulation was employed with of 5% (w / w) of hydrocolloids like stabilizers. Hydrocolloids mixture effect on ice cream properties (base viscosity, ice-cream overrun, hardness,...

in this research, seeds of iranian carob trees grown wild in kazeroon city (fars province) were used to extract iranian locust bean gum as a seed galactomannan. chemical composition, solubility, and rheological properties of crude and purified gums were investigated and compared with a commercial (sigma) locust bean gum (lbg) sample. chemical composition of the purified iranian lbg was similar ...

A strategy for the unambiguous identification and selective quantification of xanthan gum and locust bean gum (LBG) in gelled food concentrates is presented. DNA detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed to be a fast, sensitive, and selective method that can be used as a first screening tool in intact gelled food concentrates. An efficient isolation procedure is described removing com...

PURPOSE To optimize the dose of a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% locust bean gum (LBG) for small bowel MRI in terms of bowel distension and patient acceptance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 healthy volunteers ingested a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% LBG. Four different volumes (1500, 1200, 1000, and 800 ml) were assessed on four different examination...

The molten salt hydrate, lithium chloride (LiCl)/urea/water has previously been shown to swell cellulose, but there has so far been no work done to explore its effect on other polysaccharides. In this paper we have investigated the solvent effects of LiCl/urea/water on four natural polysaccharides. Fenugreek gum and xyloglucan, which are both highly branched, were found to increase in viscosity...
