TL;DR: The shelf life of CG-Ag0NC films was tested with the model fruit, strawberries, and compared with other packing films, and the results are encouraging in terms of freshness, shelf-life and weight loss.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the thermal behavior (TGA, DTA and DTG) of a galactomannan (guar gum) and a series of its periodate oxidized products (1.2, 3.1, 13, 26.7 and 54.9% oxidation, based on periodate consumption) is presented.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that combination therapy may diminish the anti-hyperglycaemic action of metformin.
Abstract: Dietary fibre and biproducts of some vegetable extracts (Guar etc.) are advocated to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia but there is some evidence that these may disturb the absorption kinetics of orally administered drugs. The effect of Guar gum on the digestive absorption of metformin was tested in 6 healthy subjects given 1700 mg of metformin with a standardised meal. Metformin blood levels showed that when given together with Guar there was a reduction in the absorption rate over the first 6 hours. These findings suggest that combination therapy may diminish the anti-hyperglycaemic action of metformin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the ice recrystallization rates in simple aqueous solutions comprising fructose and a hydrocolloid stabilizer and found that the stabilizers were an enzyme-modified guar and a non-gelling high methoxy pectin.
Abstract: Ice recrystallization rates in simple aqueous solutions comprising fructose and a hydrocolloid stabilizer were measured. The stabilizers were an enzyme-modified guar and a non-gelling high methoxy pectin. The stabilizer concentration dependence of the recrystallization rates for both materials was similar in that increasing the concentration resulted in decreasing rates until a point is reached where further addition had no additional effect. That recrystallization rates were reduced by both gelling and non-gelling stabilizers was strongly suggestive that gelation was not a requirement for recrystallization inhibition and another more specific mechanism applies, for example a weak interfacial effect such as adsorption or blocking. This behavior was also seen with locust bean gum and guar and provided further empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that stabilizers adsorb to ice crystal surfaces.

TL;DR: The sonochemical synthesis of Fe3O4-guar gum nanocomposite does not require stringent experimental conditions or any toxic agents, and thus, a straightforward, rapid, efficient and green method for the fabrication of highly active catalysts for treating environmental pollutants.
