Hydrocolloids, often called gums that generally contain many hydroxyl groups and may be polyelectrolytes .Foams are colloidal systems in which tiny air bubbles are dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase. Many processed foods consumed daily are liquid or solid foams, such as the head of soft drinks and beer, whipped cream, mousses, meringue, bread and ice cream. The utilization of these gums d...

Aloe plants can be grown autotrophically in a maintenance-free, sterile, ex vitro environment. Excel, 15-5-15 plus minors fertilizer formulation and Plant Preservative Medium (PPM) biocide was used as a very economical basal medium. In vitro micropropagated plantlets were regenerated in Excel media with 2 g /L sucrose and 2.2 μM 6-Benzylamino purine (BA) and used to initiate ex vitro cultures i...

ferula galbaniflua boiss is one of the natural plants of iran that its exudates, barijeh gum, can be used in food industry. the present study explored the properties of a new gum extracted from tubers of ferula galbaniflua. for this purpose, barijeh gum was extracted from crude exudates by alcoholic extraction with 90% ethanol. the purity of gum was relatively high, and it composed mostly of sa...

Quantitation of morphine and other major alkaloids in opium gum from specially cultivated Papaver setigerum DC (“Wild Poppy”) is presented. Papaver setigerum plants (n = 14) were grown in an atmosphere containing a slightly elevated level of carbon dioxide (390 ppm). Opium gum collected from the capsules of the mature plants was analyzed for morphine, codeine, thebaine, noscapine, and papaverin...

Plants gums are complex mixtures of different polysaccharides with a variety of biological activities and pharmaceutical applications. Few studies have focused on physicochemical and biological properties of gums obtained from different plants. This study was designed to determine potential pharmaceutical and pharmacological values of the gum exudates and its isolated biopolymers obtained from ...
