TLDR
The colour analysis showed a high L* value and the chromatic co-ordinates were in the yellow-greenish spectrum, and the use of isopropyl alcohol is recommended in ratio 1:3, since its commercial value is lower in comparison with ethanol.About:

Response surface methodology for optimization of extraction yield, viscosity, hue and emulsion stability of mucilage extracted from Lepidium perfoliatum seeds
TL;DR: In this article, a second-order polynomial model was developed using multiple linear regression analysis to determine the optimum processing conditions that give maximum extraction yield, viscosity, hue and emulsion stability, as well as, minimum protein content for the gum extracted from Lepidium perfoliatum seed.

Headway on natural polymeric coagulants in water and wastewater treatment operations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a review of green and biobased coagulants for water and wastewater treatment operations, and the factors militating against the transition of the applications of these non-conventional coagULs from bench-scale to real-life applications were discussed.

Polysaccharide extraction from Abelmoschus esculentus: Optimization by response surface methodology
TL;DR: Crude polysaccharide extraction from the Iranian Abelmoschus esculentus was performed using water decoction using Response surface methodology and the experimental yield was 16.895±0.29%, which is well in close agreement with the value predicted by the model 16.916%.

Calcium oxalate crystals inOpuntia ficusindica (L.) mill.: Development and relation to mucilage cells — A stereological analysis
S. Trachtenberg,A. M. Mayer +1 more
TL;DR: Development of calcium oxalate crystals was followed from the shoot apex to its base, using stereological analysis, and the stereological parameters relating to the crystal cells were compared with those of mucilage cells, of the same tissue.
