BACKGROUND Soluble fibers lower serum lipids, but are difficult to incorporate into products acceptable to consumers. We investigated the physiological effects of a concentrated oat beta-glucan on cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints in human subjects. We also compared the fermentability of concentrated oat beta-glucan with inulin and guar gum in a model intestinal fermentation system. METH...

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...

gums are the most important stabilizers that are used in ice cream and other frozen dairy dessert industries. in this study, effect of different levels of guar gum (0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) and arabic gum (0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) on rheological behavior of frozen yogurt was investigated. the rheological behavior of samples showed that all samples exhibit shear thinning behavior and power law model f...

Guar, the most popular vegetable, is tolerant of drought and a valuable industrial crop enormously grown across India, Pakistan, USA, South Africa for pharmaceutically cosmetically usable galactomannan (gum) content present in seed endosperm. Guar genotypes with productive traits which could perform better differential environmental conditions are utmost priority genotype selection. This be ach...

In our current study, a newer amine functionalized guar gum derivative was studied for its efficacy in colonic drug delivery. Glycyrrhizic acid mono-ammonium salt was used as the model drug. Drug-loaded microparticles were formulated by ionic crosslinking using sodium tripolyphosphate. The Scanning Electron Microscopic study revealed spherical particles of sizes from 4.9 ± 3.8 μm to 6.9 ± 3.9 μ...
