Durian seed is an agricultural biomass waste of durian fruit. It can be a natural plant source of non-starch polysaccharide gum with potential functional properties. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of chemical extraction variables (i.e., the decolouring time, soaking temperature and soaking time) on the physicochemical properties of durian seed gum. The physicoc...

the effect of xanthan and qodume shirazi seed gum on fresh bread quality and its influence on dough rheology were studied. incorporation of 0.3 to 1% of these two gums was investigated to evaluate its effect on the mixing tolerance index (mti), dough development time (ddt), gelatinization temperature (gt), viscosity, dough stability and quality of wheat flour. addition of xanthan and qodume shi...

to evaluate of quantitative and qualitative yield of two basil (ocimum basilicum l.) medicinal plants as affected by planting pattern and plant density, an experiment carried out in factorial arrangement basis on randomized complete block design with three replications. two varieties (green and purple) of basil, two planting patterns (single and double row) and four plant densities (40, 60, 80 ...

The sweet-basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) fruit/pericarp produces mucilage that engulfs the fruit and seed within minutes of hydration. Seed is produced by plant species have adapted to arid, sandy soils. This study was conducted determine how basil-seed improves ecological fitness. A second objective find ways remove mucilage, which may interfere with commercial planting. Basil fruit/seeds were ex...

The apparent viscosity (pseudoplastic viscosity) of mucilage of leucaena seed gum was calculated, based on flow curves, obtamed With multiple point viscometer. Attempts were made to correlate the various rheological properties, describIng the_ overall flow behaviOur of gum, with their concentrations. The relationship between N(exponential constant) and concentration was found to be a zero order...

Polysaccharide-polysaccharide interactions are attractive in the food, polymer and pharmaceutical systems because they may impart novel or improved functional properties to products and reduce costs. In this work, the rheological interaction of sage seed gum (SSG) as a novel hydrocolloid with xanthan gum (XG) was studied in the dilute region. The intrinsic viscosity of the XG-SSG mixture at fiv...

Patel, J. S., Costa de Novaes, M. I., and Zhang, S. 2015. Evaluation of the new compound oxathiapiprolin for control of downy mildew in basil. Plant Health Progress doi:10.1094/PHP-RS-15-0026. This study was conducted to evaluate a new chemical, oxathiapiprolin, as a seed treatment and foliar application for control of downy mildew of basil, caused by Peronospora belbahrii, and to assess the in...
