An oscillatory capillary rheometer was used to investigate the effects of NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2 on visco-elastic properties of xanthan and locust bean gum (LBG) blends in dilute solution. Gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and elastic component. Molecular conformation of the xanthan–LBG complex was assessed by the power-law and Huggins equations. Addition of any of the three salts reduc...

Abbreviations: ABA, abscisic acid; BSA, bovine serum albumin; CAP, micropylar area around the radicle emergence point or endosperm cap; DAB, diaminobenzidine; DEAE, diethylaminoethyl; IgG, immunoglobulin G; LAT, lateral coat plus endosperm; LBG, locust bean gum; ηsp, specific viscosity; PBS, phosphate buffer saline; pI, isoelectric point; RAD, radicle tip; SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polya...

This paper investigates the compressive strength and water absorption properties of cement-locust bean waste ash blend for latcrete block production. Locust was burned in open air later calcined at a temperature 600°C 3 hours to activate amorphous content produced. The locust used replace cement 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% 30% by weight production 9” hollow blocks. A mix ratio 1:6 adopted making. Va...

Ofloxacin is a synthetic chemotherapeutic antibiotic used for treatment of a variety of bacterial infections, but therapy suffers from low patients' compliance due to its unpleasant taste. This study was aimed to develop taste masked microspheres of ofloxacin using Eudragit and to prepare orodispersible tablets of the formulated microspheres using natural superdisintegrant. Taste masking Eudrag...

Locust bean pods were utilized as cattle feed for a very long time but now its seed endosperm powder is locust gum in various industries such food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, textile, paint, mining, oil drilling and construction thickening stabilizing properties. In pharmaceutical industries, used the production of solid monolithic matrix systems, films, beads, micro-particles, nano-particles, i...

Seeds of Parkia biglobosa, also called African locust bean seeds (ALBSs), are used to produce a condiment by subjecting them cooking, alkaline fermentation, and drying. The objective this work was monitor the evolution composition ALBS during spontaneous fermentation. Results showed that at initial time contained mainly proteins (45%) lipids (36%). During conversion took place ammonium, free am...
