IN comparison with the immense bibliographies of starch and cellulose for example, the literature of the gums and mucilages is scanty. This, doubtless, is due in part to the great commercial importance of the former, but a contributory cause may be sought in the practical difficulties involved in dealing with the latter. The gums Und mucilages are complex colloids which are not infrequently fou...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano silver and silver nitrate on yield of seed in basil plant. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. RESULTS Four levels of either silver nitrate (0, 100, 200 and 300 ppm) or nano silver (0, 20, 40, and 60 ppm) were sprayed on basil plant at seed growth stage. The results showed that ther...

Some seeds of flowering plants can differentiate their seed coat epidermis into the specialized cell layer producing a hydrophilic mucilage with several ecological functions, such as hydration, protection, spatial fixation, stimulation metabolic activity and development seed. Due to species- genotype-dependent variabilities in chemical composition mucilage, does not display same functional prop...

WD40 repeat proteins regulate biosynthesis of anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins (PAs), and mucilage in the seed and the development of trichomes and root hairs. We have cloned and characterized a WD40 repeat protein gene from Medicago truncatula (MtWD40-1) via a retrotransposon-tagging approach. Deficiency of MtWD40-1 expression blocks accumulation of mucilage and a range of phenolic compounds, i...

Coffee pulp, mucilage, and beans with mucilage were used to develop alcoholic beverages. The pulp of 45.3% 54.7% seed, 9.4% only obtained during the wet processing coffee. Musts prepared for all TSS (Total soluble solid) 18 °Bx fermentation was carried out 12–16 days until decreased 5 at 30 °C. Phenolic characteristics, chromatic structures, chemical parameters, sensory characteristics analyzed...

In the present era, polymers from natural sources become a better alternate for delivery of various kinds of drugs. The compliance and use of polymers obtained from natural origin are increasing day by day in the pharmaceutical industries due to a fewer side effects. Mucilages obtained from natural sources are a better alternative for designing and development of mucoadhesive drug delivery syst...

introduction: ispharzeh is a plant from genus plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage. the plant is mainly cultivated in iran and middle east. psyllium is mainly used as a dietary fiber to relieve symptoms of both constipation and mild diarrhea and occasionally as a food thickener. research has also shown benefits in reducing cholesterol levels. basil seed gum ...

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...
