Here, we report the synthesis, characterization, and catalytic evaluation of Ni-Cu-Mg ferrite using tragacanth gum as biotemplate and Metals nitrate as the metal source by the sol-gel method without using any organic chemicals. The sample was characterized by powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Scanning El...

introduction : one of the most important problems of synthetic packaging of materials had been the time consuming process of their decomposition. therefore, they have the potential to contaminate the environment. during the recent years, the above-mentioned problem has paved the way for developing biodegradable biopolymers. one group of these polymers is films and edible coatings. soy protein i...

The natural tragacanth gum, the sap of Astragalus gummifer, has been successfully used as a gelling agent in tissue culture media for in vitro shoot development and proliferation of miniature rose and carnation. Shoot development of nodal segments excised from greenhouse grown plants, was investigated on MS medium solidified with either 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0% tragacanth or 0.8% agar as control....

Tragacanth Gum is one of the most important medicinal and industrial productsof rangelands and is obtained from the incision of gum tragacanth-producing Astragalusincluding Astragalus keyserlingii. The conservation of Astragalus species in rangelandshas a special place in terms of economic profit and soil conservation. The increase in priceof gum tragacanth in recent years and more attention of...

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of tragacanth gum concentrations on physical and mechanical properties of beverage emulsions formulated with arabic gum and orange oil. Beverage emulsions are oil-in-water emulsions and used to enhance juice-like appearance, to provide flavor and deliver functional ingredients (omega-3 fatty acids) to the beverages. Stability of beverage ...

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...

Mucilage extracted from Plantago psyllium seeds was evaluated for inertness and safety parameters. The suitability of psyllium mucilage for a pharmaceutical binder was assessed in paracetamol tablets. Properties of the granules prepared using different concentrations of psyllium mucilage was compared with PVP and tragacanth. Psyllium mucilage at 5 % (m/m) was found to be comparable with 3 % (m/...
