Cassia nodosa Buch.-Ham, ex Roxb. tree is found in abundance throughout India and can be grown easily in alkaline land without much care and investment. Its seeds are bigger in size containing 50-55 per cent of endosperm, which is easily separable by mechanical means . The physico-chemicals properties of the seed gum are as follows: Mn 4,73,00; Mw, 7,0 I ,000, Mz, I 0,80,00; Polidispersity 1.48...

Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. an Indian fast growing and spreading tree of which pods, leaves are extensively used for various applications. The seeds contain about 22% endosperm and possess the characteristics of becoming a potential source of seed gum. The structural aspects of the galactomannans have been determined for a better understanding of its properties. The purified seed polysaccharid...

BACKGROUND Most of the previous studies regarding the effects of gel-forming fibres have considered the gastric emptying of liquid or solid meals after the addition of pectin or guar gum. The influence of locust bean gum, on gastric emptying of nutrient semisolid meals in humans has been less well studied, despite its common occurrence in foods. Using a standardised ultrasound method, this stud...

OBJECTIVES A reduction in bond strength of composite to bleached enamel has been reported immediately after bleaching treatment. Application of some antioxidant agents may decrease the adverse effects of whitening agents on bond strength and enhance composite bond to enamel. This study aimed to assess the effect of green tea, sodium ascorbate, sage and grape seed extract on bond strength of com...
