tamarinda (tamarindus indica) and indian gum arabica (acacia arabica) are two ornamental trees of beautiful shape, extensive shading, and tolerant to high temperatures, making them suitable alternatives for landscape design in warm- arid regions. tamarinda and indian gum arabica are commonly propagated by seed. however, seed physical dormancy causes delay in seed germination. this study was car...

in order to study the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield of basil, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand (moud region) in 2010. main plot factor was two irrigation levels (7 and 14 days interval) and nitrogen fertilizer (as urea) was considered as sub plot factor in four levels (0, 50, 100...

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...

Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40-91 °C); extraction time (1.6-3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1-77:1) was used to study the response for yield. Experimental values for extraction yield ranged from 7.86 to 20.5 g/100 g. Extraction yie...

Ipomoea turpethum R. Br. [= Operculina terpethum (Linn.) Silva Manso (Hindi—Nisoth, Pitohri), a perennial plant with a muchtwisted stem is found through out India. It is reported to be highly medicinal and is cultivated occasionally in gardens as an ornamental plant. Some hydroxy fatty acids, butulin, lupeol and sitosterol have been found in the plant. Seed gums are important vegetable products...

ABSTRACT: In this research, the functionality of sweet Basil seed powder (Ocimum basilicum L.) on Buguette bread quality and its potential application in retarding the staling process has been studied. Three different concentrations of the powder (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%, w/w, flour basis) were applied. The effects of powder on the rheological properties of dough were also investigated instrumentally...

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...
