Background: Mucilage is an important polysaccharide with a broad range of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity that widely used for various applications in the medicine food industries. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate effect extraction method on mucilage extracted from yellow brown flaxseeds. Methods: was by different methods: heating, sonotrode, bath sonication. The eval...

Background and aim: Improvement of wound healing in normal subjects and in chronic ulcers has been always desired. The availablity and acceptability of herbal medicine led us to study the effect of topical 10% mucilage of quince seed in human skin.Materials and Methods: This double-blind clinical trial has been conducted on 34 patients referring to Imam Hospital, clinic...

Pectins are complex polysaccharides that form the gel matrix of the primary cell wall and are abundant in the middle lamella that holds plant cells together. Their degree of methylesterification (DM) impacts wall strength and cell adhesion since unesterified pectin regions can cross-link via Ca(2+) ions to form stronger gels. Here, we characterize flying saucer1 (fly1), a novel Arabidopsis thal...

A study was carried out to determine the influence of mucilage viscosity on the globule structure (i.e. size and number) of certain starch emulsions. The starches investigated were cassava, potato and maize. The emulsions were prepared by mixing the starch mucilage of a predetermined concentration 4%w/v with arachis oil in the ratio 50:50, using a silverson mixer fitted with a dispersator head....

With the increasing interest in polymers of natural origin, the pharmaceutical world has compliance to use most of them in their formulations. Moreover, the tremendous orientation of pharma world towards these naturally derived polymers has become a subject of increasing interest to discover, extract and purify such compounds from the reported origin. In the present review we have discussed muc...

management of chemical fertilizers application is very important issues on environment and plant yield especially in arid and-semi arid region. in order to determine the effects of drought stresses and fertilizer levels on quantity and quality yields of psyllium (plantago ovata l.), a study was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the natur...

background: the seeds of some medicinal plants and their compounds have long been valued for their numerous health benefits. objective:to investigate some physical and chemical properties of salvia spp. methods: some physico-chemical properties in five species of salvia seeds (consisted of s. officinalis l., s. macrosiphon l., s. hypoleuca l., s. sclarea l. and s. nemorosa l.) were measured at ...

In this study the rheological and textural properties of Iranian white cheese produced by ultrafiltration technique containing gum tragacanth and xanthan gum each in the range of 0-0.1%, and basil seed and linseed mucilages each in the range of 0-0.2% were evaluated. According to the results obtained, values of Elastic (G/) and viscous (G//) moduli increased with increasing frequency sweep in a...

Summary The aim of the article was to obtain maximum information about plant mucilage, its sources and applications in pharmaceutical industry. This study focuses on scientific articles books available Internet resources college library that deal with sources, applications, extraction isolation mucilage. Mucilage is obtained mainly from can be isolated easily. Due low cost, easy availability, n...
