Prunus armeniaca gum exudates: An overview on purification, structure, physicochemical properties, and applications

Some Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Zedo (Farsi) Gum Exudates from Amygdalus scoparia

Background and Objectives: Zedo gum is exuded in three colours (white, yellow, and red) from Amygdalus scoparia. It is used in both food and non-food industries, as well as in traditional medicine. This study aimed to determine the physicochemical and rheological properties of Zedo gum. Materials and Methods: Zedo gum was collected in Sirjan and classified into three groups, based on colour ...

Physicochemical and Immunomodulatory Properties of Gum Exudates Obtained from Astragalus myriacanthus and Some of Its Isolated Carbohydrate Biopolymers

Plants gums are complex mixtures of different polysaccharides with a variety of biological activities and pharmaceutical applications. Few studies have focused on physicochemical and biological properties of gums obtained from different plants. This study was designed to determine potential pharmaceutical and pharmacological values of the gum exudates and its isolated biopolymers obtained from ...

Purification and Characterization of Latent Polyphenol Oxidase from Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.)

Polyphenol oxidase from apricot (Prunus armeniaca) (PaPPO) was purified in its latent form (L-PaPPO), and the molecular weight was determined to be 63 kDa by SDS-PAGE. L-PaPPO was activated in the presence of substrate at low pH. The activity was enhanced by CuSO4 and low concentrations (≤ 2 mM) of SDS. PaPPO has its pH and temperature optimum at pH 4.5 and 45 °C for catechol as substrate. It s...
