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...

Background and objectives:Wild Sage(Salvia macrosiphon Boiss.) known as “Marvak” in Persian is one of the polymorphic and abundant plants of Lamiaceae. The plants whole seeds usually soaked or boiled in hot water are widely used for inflammatory ailments in folk medicine.

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...

The mechanical and disintegration properties of paracetamol tablets formulated using Delonix regia seed gum (DRSG) as a binder have been studied in this work. Acacia BP (ACG) and tragacanth BP (TRG) were used as official gum standards. The mechanical properties, i.e. tensile strength (TS) and brittle fracture index (BFI), showed that with an increase in concentration of the gum binder, the tens...
