Purpose: To study the mechanical and dynamic swelling properties of grewia gum, evaluate its compression behaviour and determine the effect of drying methods on its properties. Methods: Compacts (500 mg) of both freeze-dried and air-dried grewia gum were separately prepared by compression on a potassium bromide (KBr) press at different pressures and subjected to Heckel analysis. Swelling studie...

Two factors of different levels pruning intensities, i.e. 40cm, 60cm and 80cm from ground level, with foliar feeding NAA concentrations, 100ppm, 150ppm 200ppm, were tried to investigate their effects on growth, yield quality attributes phalsa (Grewia asiatica L.)cv. Sharbati, conducted at Horticulture Garden, Department Fruit Science, C.S.A.U.A.T., Kanpur, (U.P). The results showed significant ...

Purpose: To compare the mucoadhesive performance of grewia polysaccharide gum with those of guar gum, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and carbopol 971P. Methods: Grewia polysaccharide gum compacts or gels as well as those of guar gum, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or carbopol 971P were prepared. Texturometric and tensile analysis of the polymer gels...

background: the radioprotective effect of grewia asiatica fruit (gae) which contains anthocyanin type cyanidin 3- glucoside, vitamin c, a, minerals, carotenes and dietary fibers etc was studied. materials and methods: for study swiss albino mice were divided into five groups-1. control (vehicle treated) 2. gae treated (700 mg / kg. b.wt / day for fifteen days), 3. irradiated (5 gy), 4. gae + ir...
