The synthesis and characterization of a novel fixative, guar gum-graftpoly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (GG-g-p(AM-coDADMAC)) polymer is described. The grafted polymer proved to be effective at adsorbing hydrophobic wood resin particles onto papermaking fibre surfaces, thus removing wood resins from the water phase where they have a tendency to aggregate and form troublesome ...

Sensory parameters of gluten-free bread depend on the amount and type of hydrocolloids used as gluten replacers, as this determines interactions between them and starch, which is the main component of dough. The evaluation of gluten-free breads supplemented with various amounts of guar gum, pectin and xanthan, proved that bread with addition of xanthan has higher volume in comparison with pecti...

to obtain an optimum formulation for stabilizers–emulsifier in ice cream, different combinations of three stabilizers, i.e. basil seed gum, guar gum, and carboxymethyl cellulose, at two concentrations of 0.15 or 0.35% with or without e471 emulsifier were studied using a simplex-centroid mixture design. the regression models for physical properties and texture smoothness of samples were also est...

the aim of this work was to optimize the coagulation-flocculation (cf) process applied tomunicipal wastewaters (ww). optimization of cf was performed to minimize chemical oxygen demand(cod), turbidity, sludge produced, and some metals in sludge. a box-behnken design was used to evaluate the effects and interactions of three factors such as type of biopolymer (guar, mesquite seed gum and opuntia...

BACKGROUND: The present study focuses on the design and evaluation of colon targeted matrix tablets of Mebeverine hydrochloride using natural gums like guar gum, xanthan gum at different concentrations. This novel approach is expected to be promising drug delivery system for delivering Mebeverine HCl to the colon for its local action and thereby minimizing systemic side effects of the drug. MET...

Sustained release tablets of isoniazid were fabricated using guar gum and carbapol, Tragacanth Gum and PEG-6000, in different proportion and combinations by direct compression technique, Bulk density, tapped density, compressibility index, Hausner ratio before being punched as tablets. The tablets were evaluated for physical characteristic like hardness, weight variation, friability, and drug c...

Mucilage of malva nut fruit has been used as traditional medicine in Thailand. Our laboratory has succeeded in extracting malva nut gum (MNG) from malva nut seeds by using alkaline-extraction method. The extract had higher gelling properties compared to water-extracted MNG. This research was aimed to investigate the effect of MNG on the retardation of glucose diffusion in in vitro dialysis proc...

guar gum and whey proteins concentrate (wpc-35) were used as functional additives to improve the functional characteristics (hardness and meltability) of the na-caseinate-based imitation cheese. also, the alterations in the composition, sensory acceptance, color, and texture caused by these ingredients were evaluated. imitation cheeses were formulated with three levels each of wpc (0, 1.5, and ...

The effect of prolonged consumption of guar gum on iron absorption and Fe status was investigated in rats. Experiments with closed loops of duodenum, isolated in situ, were designed to reveal changes in the short-term regulation of duodenal Fe uptake, induced by challenge with low- and high-Fe meals. In separate experiments, the effect of guar gum on the capacity of intact rats to maintain Fe s...
