This study was conducted to investigate the effects of D. mespiliformis; crude seed, mucilage and seed extracts on some surface water quality parameters total bacteria count. The experiment design as a factorial in Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Sample collected from Upper River Benue Jimeta Bridge. mespiliformis purchased at Market, Yola Adamawa State. sample Jerry cans (50 litters) transpo...

The apparent viscosity (pseudoplastic viscosity) of mucilage of leucaena seed gum was calculated, based on flow curves, obtamed With multiple point viscometer. Attempts were made to correlate the various rheological properties, describIng the_ overall flow behaviOur of gum, with their concentrations. The relationship between N(exponential constant) and concentration was found to be a zero order...

Background: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum - graecum L.) is an annual medicinal plant belongs to the legume family and has anti-diabetic, anti-fertility, anticancer, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic and hypocholesterolaemic effects. Objective: Evaluation of growth and trigonelline /mucilage content in fenugreek under application of plant growth regulators (PGR). Methods: The experiment was conduc...

in order to evaluate the response of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the isabgol (plantago ovata frosk.) medicinal plant to separate and combined application of urea and biofertilizer an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2011. the experimental treatments consisted of control (no urea and biological fer...

introduction: an emulsion is made of dispersed particles through the continuous phase, while not dissolving happens between two phases. mayonnaise is oil-in- water emulsion (james and dakin, 1962), as one of the most sauces used in the world. it has a mild odor and taste, creamy to pale yellow color and a ph in the range of 3.6- 4.0, which does not exceed 4.1 (iranian national standard, no 2454...

the responses of isabgol (plantago ovata forsk.) to micronutrient foliar application under low irrigation condition were investigated. the experiment was carried out in agricultural research farm of zabol university, iran, during growing season of 2007-2008. the experiment was conducted in spilt plot using randomized complete block design with four replications. three irrigation regimes defined...

The present investigation reports the isolation of mucilage from Manilkara zapota seeds as per AOAC guideline and evaluating it as mucoadhesive agent. Manilkara zapota (Linn.) P. Royen syn. a small tree belonging to family sapotaceae. Physiochemical characteristics of mucilage, such as swelling index, microbial count, viscosity, hydration capacity, flow property, and pH were studied. The mucila...

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...

Some physical properties like Gas barrier, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and brittleness of pure biopolymers film are inadequate for food packaging. The functional properties of quince seed mucilage-based films were enhanced by addition of nanoclay (NC) (Cloisite 30B). Edible films were cast from heated aqueous solutions of quince seed (10% w/w) and NC (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% w/w...

The possible use of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) in the production of marigold and basil seedlings examined. Six medium prepared from commercial peat (CP) and MSWC (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 100% v/v). There was not any plant growth when MSWC used alone (100%). The addition of MSWC in low content (15% and 30%) improved seed emergence for marigold and basil respectively, while greater conte...
