Gum Arabic, a natural polysaccharide derived from exudates of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, is a commonly used food hydrocolloid. The highlight of this study was to review the utilization of gum Arabic for industries and human health. Gum Arabic has a unique combination of excellent emulsifying properties and low solution viscosity. These properties make gum Arabic very useful in sever...

Experiments were carried out to test the aqueous extracts of twenty plants for their antifungal activity against Fusarium solani the causal of dry rot disease of potato. The obtained results showed a differential activity of the plant extracts against the mycelium growth. The combined leaf extracts of Lawsonia alba and stem extracts of Acacia catechu in general showed a strong enhancement in ac...

Four plants having known medicinal properties were screened for inhibition of goatpox virus (GTPV) replication in vitro. Of the 4 plants, extract of Acacia arabica (Babul) and Eugenia jambolana (Jamun) leaves had inhibition (%) 99.70 and 99.92 at their maximum non toxic concentrations, 99.93 +/- 0.38 and 1999.73 +/- 0.50 microg/ml, respectively in all cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assays. ...

Objective: Acacia bark-derived proanthocyanidins exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hypotensive effects, and improving skin condition, in addition to beneficial effects on blood glucose. Herein, we evaluated the of acacia fasting postprandial glucose levels healthy Japanese adults with (FBG) between 110–125 mg/dL.Methods: Subjects were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n = 3...

over the past few decades, scientists have paid special attention to studying novel and natural hydrocolloids due to the growing demand for ready meals, public awareness on the importance of natural fibers in daily diets, and their wide range of application, especially in foods, pharmaceuticals and herbal medicine. moreover, natural hydrocolloids are preferred to biotechnologic ones (e.g., gell...

The effect of lignin structural units on enzymatic hydrolysis lignocellulosic biomass was investigated, especially the inhibitory role in non-productive adsorption with enzymes. Milled wood (MWL) isolated from different hardwoods poplar, eucalyptus and acacia. samples were characterized by elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography, nitrobenzene oxidation fourier infrared spectroscopy. m...
