Carob is botanically called as Ceratonia siliqua and belongs to the Legumes family. The fruit derived from hermaphrodite trees hard in shape. carob contains high sugar contents pulp, fat seed minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorus are present pods. Polyphenols antioxidants abundant leaves It can be used for enhancing human health due its nutritional profile. gum pharmaceutical industry fo...

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 ...

The present study aimed to obtain and investigate the physicochemical sensory characteristics of fiber-rich cereal bars containing probiotics. Different formulations were tested, by adding Bacillus subtilis (Probisis®) cells, and/or carob powder for improving functional properties enhancement color flavor. Proximate composition, texture, color, antioxidant activity measured. Water was registere...

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a typical Mediterranean species with over 4000-year history. From ancient Egyptians to Cretans, products have been used as emergency food in the absence of basic goods. In previous few decades, global agricultural economy has replaced traditional crops more profitable ones, which led soil degradation and greater requirement for inputs. rediscovery use pl...

Concentrated whole extracts of the immature fruit of carob and 3 fractions derived from this extract have been shown to inhibit the gibberellic acid induced growth of pea seedlings. The inhibition can be completely reversed by increasing the amount of gibberellic acid. The inhibitors do not reduce the endogenous growth of seedlings but only that induced by gibberellic acid. One of the fractions...

Solid-state (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the following intact plant tissues were recorded by the crosspolarization magic-angle spinning technique: celery (Apium graveolens L.) collenchyma; carob bean (Ceratonia siliqua L.), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), and nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus L.) endosperm; and lupin (Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl.) seed cotyledons. All th...

The literature on pediatric reflux can be divided into studies addressing clinically apparent reflux (vomiting or regurgitation) and reflux as measured by pH probe or other methods. Sodium alginate reduces vomiting and improves parents' assessment of symptoms (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, small randomized controlled trial [RCT]). Formula thickened with rice cereal decreases the number o...

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is an evergreen tree that belongs to the Leguminosae family and typical of Mediterranean basin. It well known for its valuable locust bean gum obtained from carob seeds. However, food industry can obtain different products fruit after processing. are good sources dietary fibre, sugars, a range bioactive compounds such as polyphenols D-pinitol. Bioactive present in d...

BACKGROUND Cryptococcus gattii is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast that is emerging in temperate climate zones worldwide. C. gattii has repetitively been isolated from numerous tree species. Ongoing environmental sampling and molecular characterization is essential to understand the presence of this primary pathogenic microorganism in the Mediterranean environment. AIMS To report the first ...
