In this paper , the effect of storage conditions on the stability of gum arabic and tragacanth polymers was evaluated, and it was shown that gum-arabic is more resistant to higher temperatures compared to tragacananth.Abstract:
Storage conditions should be chosen so that they do not affect the action and stability of the active pharmaceutical substance (API), and excipients used in pharmacy. UV irradiation, increased temperature, and relative humidity can decompose storage substances by photolysis, thermolysis, and hydrolysis process, respectively. The effect of physical factors may be the decomposition of pharmaceutical substances or their inappropriate action, including pharmacological effects. Polymers of natural origin are increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industry. With this in mind, we evaluated the effect of storage conditions on the stability of gum arabic (GA) and tragacanth (GT). The influence of higher temperature, UV irradiation, and relative humidity on GA and GT was tested. Thermogravimetry (TG, c-DTA), colorimetric analysis, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and optical microscopy were used as research methods. The TGA and c-DTA examination indicated that decomposition of GA starts at a higher temperature compared to GT. This indicate that gum arabic is more resistant to higher temperatures compared to tragacanth. However, the conducted analysis showed that gum arabic is more sensitive to the tested storage conditions. Among the tested physical conditions, both polymers were most sensitive to conditions of increased relative humidity in the environment.read more

Acacia senegal gum: continuum of molecular species differing by their protein to sugar ratio, molecular weight, and charges.
TL;DR: Both sugars content (neutral and uronic acids) and UV profiles revealed that FIII was composed of a continuum of molecular species differing both by their protein-to-sugar ratio and molecular weight, whereas FII was made of at least two distinct molecular species per population.
