Abstract Of all the semantic domains, colour terms have attracted largest amount of attention, notably from a typological point view. However, there is much more to be discovered. A search cross-linguistic lexical database African languages (RefLex) reveals several previously undetected areal colexification patterns and shared lexico-constructional in genetically balanced sample 401 languages. ...

in this research, seeds of iranian carob trees grown wild in kazeroon city (fars province) were used to extract iranian locust bean gum as a seed galactomannan. chemical composition, solubility, and rheological properties of crude and purified gums were investigated and compared with a commercial (sigma) locust bean gum (lbg) sample. chemical composition of the purified iranian lbg was similar ...

The study was carried out in order to establish the suitability of fermented soybean condiment as an alternative locust bean meal preparations. dried condiments were subjected chemical, microbial and sensory evaluation using standard methods. Results revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher protein (54.06%), ash (6.21%), crude fat (14.15%) pH (8.90) content condiment. Higher values 44.72 mg/10...

A strategy for the unambiguous identification and selective quantification of xanthan gum and locust bean gum (LBG) in gelled food concentrates is presented. DNA detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) showed to be a fast, sensitive, and selective method that can be used as a first screening tool in intact gelled food concentrates. An efficient isolation procedure is described removing com...

PURPOSE To optimize the dose of a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% locust bean gum (LBG) for small bowel MRI in terms of bowel distension and patient acceptance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 healthy volunteers ingested a hydro solution containing 2.5% mannitol and 0.2% LBG. Four different volumes (1500, 1200, 1000, and 800 ml) were assessed on four different examination...

The molten salt hydrate, lithium chloride (LiCl)/urea/water has previously been shown to swell cellulose, but there has so far been no work done to explore its effect on other polysaccharides. In this paper we have investigated the solvent effects of LiCl/urea/water on four natural polysaccharides. Fenugreek gum and xyloglucan, which are both highly branched, were found to increase in viscosity...
