The injectable composites were formulated from melt-derived 45S5 bioactive glass powder and gum tragacanth. The effect of tragacanth concentration (2 and 4 w/v%) and powder to liquid ratio (P/L= 1.5 to 2.5) on rheological properties, injectability, degradation, swelling, and bioactivity the composites was studied. With the increase of P/L ratio and tragacanth concentration, the force requ...

gum tragacanth is a natural complex mixture of polysaccharides and alkaline minerals extracted from species of astragalus plant, which is found widely in arid regions of the middle east. in a pilot experimental study we examined the effects of its topical application on wound healing in ten albino adult male rats. two similar parasagittal elliptical full-thickness wounds (control vs. test sampl...

Background and Objectives: The quality of cakes made of wheat flour depends on the quantity and quality of its gluten proteins however, these proteins may have side effects for some people, including the patients with celiac, and the only way to cure this disease is to take a lifelong gluten-free diet. Materials and Methods: This research aims to produce gluten- free cake by using rice flour a...

Background: The presence of gluten proteins in rice flour leads to some problems for patients of celiac; a digestive autoimmune disease. Consumption of a non-gluten regime can decrease the effects of this disease. The aim of this study was to produce a non-gluten cake with an appropriate quality and high nutritional value by using rice flour, quinoa flour, Persian gums, and Tragacanth. Methods...

Background & Aim: Tragacanth is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of several species of Middle Eastern egumes of the genus Astragalus, that is a viscous, odorless, tasteless, water-soluble mixture of polysaccharides. Tragacanth is used in pharmaceutical and foods industries as an emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, and texturant additive. Sponge cake is one of the most popular b...

tragacanth gum is one of the most important medicinal and industrial productsof rangelands and is obtained from the incision of gum tragacanth-producing astragalusincluding astragalus keyserlingii. the conservation of astragalus species in rangelandshas a special place in terms of economic profit and soil conservation. the increase in priceof gum tragacanth in recent years and more attention of...

Introduction: Colloidal materials and suspended solids cause turbidity in water. To remove turbidity, clarification method is used that includes processes of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. Due to the long duration of coagulation process, coagulant aids are applied. Despite the favorable efficiency of synthetic polyelectrolytes as a coagulant aid, due to their harmful effects on h...

The natural tragacanth gum, the sap of Astragalus gummifer, has been successfully used as a gelling agent in tissue culture media for in vitro shoot development and proliferation of miniature rose and carnation. Shoot development of nodal segments excised from greenhouse grown plants, was investigated on MS medium solidified with either 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0% tragacanth or 0.8% agar as control....
