Abstract Background In this work, viscoelasticity, flow behaviour, thixotropy and thermo-rheological properties of binary mixtures Lepidium perfoliatum seed gum (LPSG), as an emerging food gum, xanthan (XG) at various blending ratios 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 0:100 were studied for a depth insight into their interaction. FTIR analyses also done to investigate the interaction between XG LPSG. R...

Extraction, purification and quality evaluation of raffia palm (Raffia hookeri) ofo (Detarium microcarpum) gum extracts were carried out. Gum was extracted from both exudate seed. The gums respectively purified analysed for functional properties, antinutrients mineral contents the samples. analysis revealed that magnesium 7.94mg/100g 9.37mg/100g respectively. Calcium 16.03mg/100g 101.40mg/100g ...

allelopathic plants, because of reduction in herbicide uses, are important in weed management. the allelopathic effects of sage salvia officinalis and white wormwood artemisia sieberi water extract were evaluated on germination and seedling growth of redroot pigweed amaranthus retroflexus at concentration of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% in controlled conditions. anova revealed that the extract concent...

Many food products are claimed to be effective in controlling halitosis. Halitosis is caused mainly by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as H(2)S and CH(3)SH produced in the oral cavity. Oral microorganisms degrade proteinaceous substrates to cysteine and methionine, which are then converted to VSCs. Most treatments for halitosis focus on controlling the number of microorganisms in the oral...

The Shanghai RAPESEED Database (RAPESEED, http://rapeseed.plantsignal.cn/) was created to provide the solid platform for functional genomics studies of oilseed crops with the emphasis on seed development and fatty acid metabolism. The RAPESEED includes the resource of 8462 unique ESTs, of which 3526 clones are with full length cDNA; the expression profiles of 8095 genes and the Serial Analysis ...

Flax seeds gum is a heteropolysaccharide consist of neutral and acidic components that makes up approximately 8% seed mass. Flaxseed was extracted from brown flaxseeds by the hot water extraction method. The rheological properties viscosity printing paste were measured. effect on different fabrics (natural synthetic fabrics) studied measuring color strength value (K/S) related parameters printe...

in this study the effect of basil seed gum (bsg) concentration (0%, 0.005%, 0.02%, 0.08%, 0.15% and 0.3% w/w) on the stability, particle size distribution and rheological properties of o/w emulsion stabilized by whey protein isolate (0.5% w/w) was investigated at neutral ph. the emulsion prepared by using a sonicator with a nominal power output of 150 w and an operating frequency of 20 khz. son...

Seeds, by-products derived from various plants such as mango, quince, and apples, are considered waste, though they have emerging commercial potential, been used in biological, industrial, physiological research. Seed-derived natural macromolecules- mainly polysaccharides, mucilage, gums, cellulose-have physicochemical structural diversification, giving the potential for forming gels, texturing...

The objective of the present work was extraction of polysaccharide from Senna tora L. seed and its characterization as a pharmaceutical excipient. Polysaccharide extraction was based on mechanical separation of the endosperm of seeds of Senna tora, water dissolution, centrifugation, and precipitation with acetone. Standard procedures were used to study the viscosity, micromeritic properties, an...
