TL;DR: The plaque-inhibitory agents are useful in oral compositions such as mouthwashes, toothpastes, mouthrinses, dental creams, toothpowders etc.
Abstract: The invention provides plaque-inhibitory agents useful in oral compositions such as mouthwashes, tooth­pastes, mouthrinses, dental creams, toothpowders etc. comprising polysaccharides such as xanthan gum, gum tragacanth (pectin), guar gum, gum karaya, chondroitin sulfate, polygalacturonic acid, sodium alginate and carrageenans of the kappa/lambda configuration. The agents are effective in plaque-inhibiting at concentra­tions between about 0.0025% and 2.000% on a weight/­volume basis.

TL;DR: In this article, a study aimed at fortification of yoghurt with walnut and flaxseed oils using guar gum was presented, which increased syneresis, antioxidant activity and malondialdehyde formation in yoghurts while the microbial count decreased.
Abstract: The present study aimed at fortification of yoghurt with walnut and flaxseed oils using guar gum. Both the oils were added separately at a concentration of 2% along with two different concentrations of guar gum (0.025% and 0.05%). Fortified yoghurt samples were studied for functional, rheological, microbial and antioxidant properties. Fatty acid profile and oxidative shelf-life of the product was also determined. The addition of oil increased syneresis, antioxidant activity and malondialdehyde formation in yoghurts while the microbial count decreased. Gum addition, significantly (P 0.05) effect on microbial content was seen. All yoghurt samples showed pseudo plastic flow behavior with yield stress that increased with increase in gum and oil concentration. Gum and oil addition increased G′, G″, and composite viscosity of yoghurt samples. Walnut fortified yoghurt samples showed significantly (P

TL;DR: Aloe vera gel was mixed with sulfated polysaccharides isolated from the red microalgae Porpyyridium sp., Porphyridium aerugineum, and Rhodella reticulata to determine possible stabilizing effects as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Aloe vera gel-the fiber-free mucous exudate of the succulent leaves of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller)-was mixed with sulfated polysaccharides isolated from the red microalgae Porpyyridium sp., Porphyridium aerugineum, and Rhodella reticulata, with the natural anionic polysaccharide xanthan gum or with nonionic guar gum to determine possible stabilizing effects. Rheological studies indicated interaction between aloe vera gel and the algal polysaccharides and xanthan gum as shown by increased apparent viscosities, apparent yield points, and, in some cases, hysteresis but not with guar gum

TL;DR: It is proved that BUD compression-coated with 75% pectin may be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to formulate budesonide (BUD) compression-coated tablets for colonic specific delivery. Pectin and guar gum were used as enzyme-dependent polymers. For comparison purposes, both pH- and time-dependent polymers were also tried. In vitro release studies were carried out at different pH (1.2, 6.8, and 7.4). Therapeutic efficacy of the prepared tablets compared to commercially available capsules and enema were evaluated in trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced rabbit colitis model. In pH-dependent polymers, Eudragit (EUD) S100/EUD L100 (1:1) released 45.58% in the target area (colon). For time-dependent polymers, decreasing cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) ratio increased the release in both pH 6.8 and 7.4 till it reached 40.58% and 93.65%, respectively, for 25% CAB. In enzyme-dependent polymers, increasing pectin ratio to 75% retarded the release (4.59% in pH 6.8 and 54.45% in pH 7.4) which was significantly enhanced to 99.31% using pectinolytic enzyme. Formula F14 coated with 75% pectin significantly reduced the inflammatory cells in the connective tissue core of the colon of the treated group and significantly decreased myeloperoxidase activity (3.90 U/g tissue weight). This study proved that BUD compression-coated with 75% pectin may be beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
