The unique attributes, biodegradability, biocompatibility, perfect accessibility, and low production costs led to the use of natural gums in a different section our lives. Among them, we can mention obtained from microorganisms (xanthan gum gellan gum), plant tissues (Arabic tragacanth), seeds (konjac guar seaweeds (alginates, agar gum, carrageenans). Gums have essential applications medical ph...

Guidelines for the use of water-soluble dietary fibers (WSDF) in the dietary management of elevated plasma cholesterol are not well-established. Consequently, 4 studies were conducted to explore the plasma lipid-lowering effects of a variety of WSDF. Studies were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials involving healthy men and women (plasma cholesterol greater than 5.17 mmol/liter;...

Polymers increase the macroscopic efficiency of flooding process and crude oil recovery. The viscosity 3 polymers xanthan, guar, Arabic gums is measured in lab experimented with as EOR options. Xanthan guar gum are weight percentages 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 1, while 5, 10, 15 percentages. experiments showed that had lowest at 15% wt. significantly higher viscosities than corresponding At same 0.5%,...

Role of dietary fibre in lowering serum cholesterol has been studied in mongrel dogs. Pectin, wheat bra, guar gum and Isabghol were fed with standard diet. No statistically significant changes were found in serum cholesterol levels in any groug (P greater than .05) after one week. Later by 15th day, pectin reduced serum cholesterol significantly i.e. 12.4% (P less than .02). However, in groups ...

The aim of present study was to determine the viscoelastic properties of the model mixtures of the selected pasted polysaccharides. The initial material was maize starch (SK), mixed with guar gum (GG). Rheological tests were performed in time domain. Theoretical analysis covered adaptation of some achievements of phenomenological theory of viscoelasticity, which were applied during interpretati...

BACKGROUND Riverine particles undergo a rapid transformation when they reach estuaries. The rapid succession of hydrodynamic and biogeochemical regimes forces the particles to flocculate, settle and enter the sediment pool. The rates and magnitudes of flocculation depend on the nature of the particles which are primarily affected by the types and quantities of organic matter (OM). Meanwhile, th...

Guar is a valuable industrial crop, widely grown in India and Pakistan. The potentialities of guar seed are based on complex polysaccharide called galactomannan (gum) which present its endosperm. newly developed variety Karan Guar-14 has good content (30.2%) high viscosity profile (3412 cp) increases export values. It medium maturing (90–95 days) an average, it gives higher grain yield (1222 kg...
