The suspending property of a new polysaccharide gum derived from Afzelia Africana (family Fabaceae) seed have been investigated using Sodium carboxymethylcellulose as reference standard. Deflocculated and flocculated(using 1% solution of Aluminium Chloride) Zinc oxide suspensions were prepared using 0.5%w/v,1.0%w/v,2%w/v and 4%w/v of Afzelia africana gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and binar...

the main purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of air drying, freeze drying and vacuum drying methods on viscosity and gelation of lipidium perfoliatum seed gum. results showed that the viscosity values of samples varied from 0.31 to 1.26 pa.s at (shear rate = 12.23 s-1) and control sample gum exhibited the highest viscosity. apparent viscosity was decreased by all of drying...

rhelogical properties of mucilage extracted from garden cress (lepidium sativum l.) seeds as influenced by gum concentration (0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 % w/w), temperature (5, 25 and 40 ?c), as well as ph (2.5, 4, 7 and 10) were investigated. non-newtonian shear thinning flow behavour was observed with the power law model well describing the rheological behavior of the solutions. increasing the sol...

Cassia nodosa Buch.-Ham, ex Roxb. tree is found in abundance throughout India and can be grown easily in alkaline land without much care and investment. Its seeds are bigger in size containing 50-55 per cent of endosperm, which is easily separable by mechanical means . The physico-chemicals properties of the seed gum are as follows: Mn 4,73,00; Mw, 7,0 I ,000, Mz, I 0,80,00; Polidispersity 1.48...

Aim of study: Practically and simply assessing biodiversity by using inventory variables in four types forest plantation stands (mixed pure) including species such are chestnut, blue gum maritime pine.
 Area Northwest Portugal Vale do Sousa (14,840 ha), which is 97% covered with forests.
 Material methods: Simulated data, from 90-year stand-level management planning, were considered t...

Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. an Indian fast growing and spreading tree of which pods, leaves are extensively used for various applications. The seeds contain about 22% endosperm and possess the characteristics of becoming a potential source of seed gum. The structural aspects of the galactomannans have been determined for a better understanding of its properties. The purified seed polysaccharid...

BACKGROUND Most of the previous studies regarding the effects of gel-forming fibres have considered the gastric emptying of liquid or solid meals after the addition of pectin or guar gum. The influence of locust bean gum, on gastric emptying of nutrient semisolid meals in humans has been less well studied, despite its common occurrence in foods. Using a standardised ultrasound method, this stud...

Moringa oleifera Lam. (synonym: Moringa pterygosperma Gaertn.) (M. oleifera) known in 82 countries by 210 different names is well known by the name of the miracle tree. It is one of the extensively cultivated and highly valued members of Moringaceae, a monogeneric family, comprising of thirteen perennial angiosperm shrubs and trees[1-3]. Moringa tree is endemic to the Himalayan foothills of Pak...
