Removal of antibiotics from contaminated water is very important because their harmful effects on the environment and living organisms. This study describes preparation a bionanocomposite carboxymethyl tragacanth gum-grafted-polyaniline γFe2O3 using an in situ copolymerization method as effective adsorbent for amoxicillin antibiotic remediation polluted water. The prepared materials were charac...

Persimmon fruits are often affected by large postharvest losses due to rapid ripening and the early onset of senescence. To reduce such in fresh fruits, application hydrocolloid-based edible coatings was conducted. Therefore, a plant gum, tragacanth gum (TCG), applied persimmon at 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% TCG concentrations, stored 20 ± 2 °C 80–85% relative humidity for days (analysis 0, 4th, 8th, 12th, ...

diabetes is a common metabolic disease in the world that has many adverse effects. olibanum gum resin (from trees of the genus boswellia) has traditionally been used in the treatment of various diseases such as diabetes. the aim of this study was the comparison of olibanum gum resin effect with placebo on the treatment of type 2 diabetes. inclusion criteria was diabetic patients with fasting bl...

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of studies concerned with the preparation of fresh food foams based on egg white and various hydrocolloids including Iranian gum tragacanth, guar and xanthan gums at different concentrations (0.002-0.040% w/w). The basic physical parameters of the obtained foams such as overrun, stability and morphology of gas bubbles were measured. Viscosity measuremen...

In this research, a method for producing gum tragacanth (GT) fibers is presented. Ribbon type GT of Astragalus Gummifer species were obtained from local production lands. The gum was treated with alkali to increase its process ability, and allowed to stand for a period of time to reach the proper viscosity and/or to "ripen". Samples with different ripening times were prepared and their viscosit...

MAGNESIUM PEMOLINE : FACILITATION OF MAZE LEARNING WHEN ADMINISTERED IN PURE DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE* Donald G. Stein, John J . Brink and Arthur Patterron Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts (Received 12 October 1967 ; in final form 30 November 1967) Recent studies attempting to facilitate teaming with magnesium pemoline have provided conflicting results . Lack of an effect on teaming has been...

The potential of arid/semiarid land plants a s sources of commercial products is illustrated by the following examples: candelilla (wax); jojoba (oil, protein); Acacia spp. (gum); Astragalus spp. (tragacanth gum); guayule (rubber); rabbitbrush (rubber, chemicals); sunflowers (rubber, chemicals); yucca (soap); and cresote bush (antioxidants, phenolic resins). co-evolutionary selection is a cause...

We introduce a new smooth, non-toxic, biocompatible method for cross-linking of gum tragacanth (GT), a polysaccharide of natural origin, in order to serve as a new supporting matrix for immobilization systems. The modified gum is used as a matrix for the catalysis of the conversion of benzyl penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) by means of Escherichia coli ATCC11105 with penicillin G ...
