A water soluble galactomannan having D-Mannose [4-part] and D-Galactose [2-parts] was isolated from Cassia fistula. In cassia fistula Hydrolysis of methylated seed gum furnished three methylated sugars, 2, 3-di-O-methyl-D-mannose, 2, 3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose and 2, 3,4,6-tetra-Omethy-D-galactose was present in molar ratio 3:2:1. Partial acid catalysed hydrolysis of the seed gum gave five olig...

Due to early deterioration of banana in drying process, almond, quince seed, and tragacanth gums as edible coatings were determined. For this purpose, banana slices were coated in 0.7% solution of each gum and one group remained uncoated as the control. The samples were examined at specific times considering the weight loss, color analyzing (a*, b*, and L*) through the method computer vision, c...

functionality of marve seed gum (salvia macrosiphon boiss) on rheological properties and staling of baguette bread have been studied. three different concentrations of 0.1 %, 0.5% and 1% (w/w, flour basis) were applied and this hydrocolloid affected the quality of the stored bread to some extent. the effects of marve seed gum on the rheological properties of dough was also investigated instrume...

Flowering time, growth, and opium gum yield from five seed sources (T, L, B1, B2, B3) of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) collected from different latitudes in three Southeast Asian countries were determined. Plants were grown in six growth chambers at a 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, or 16-hour photoperiod with a 12-hour, 25/20 °C thermoperiod. Flower initiation was observed under a dissecting mi...

Consumers' awareness about the nutritional profile of their diets has made the industry to respond their needs seriously. In this study, response surface methodology was used to analyze the effect of three fat replacers and two sweeteners on sensory attributes and viscosity of low- calorie pistachio butter. Balangu seed extract (BSG) (0.01-0.04), Reihan seed gum (RSG) (0.01-0.023), xanthan (0.0...

Abstract Consumption of gluten-free products is the best possible option for patients with celiac disease. The development cookies may provide a suitable alternative individuals who are gluten-intolerant. purpose this research was to assess use hydrocolloids as gluten substitutes in cookies.

Hydrocolloids, often called gums that generally contain many hydroxyl groups and may be polyelectrolytes .Foams are colloidal systems in which tiny air bubbles are dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase. Many processed foods consumed daily are liquid or solid foams, such as the head of soft drinks and beer, whipped cream, mousses, meringue, bread and ice cream. The utilization of these gums d...

An endeavor has been made to create buccoadhesive bilayered tablets comprising of drug containing bioadhesive layer and drug free backing layer to release the drug for extended period of time with reduction in dosing recurrence. Tablets of Tizanidine hydrochloride were prepared by direct compression method using bioadhesive polymer tamarind seed gum with backing layer of ethyl cellulose. The ph...
