TL;DR: In this article, the decolourization of Acacia Seyal (Talha) Gum Arabic to improve its quality has been investigated and the results showed that the colour has changed from pink to colourless-transparent.
Abstract: This work aimed to decolourization of Acacia Seyal (Talha) Gum Arabic to improve its quality. The experimental set up consists of adsorption column made of Perspex. The adsorption media is activated charcoal of 350 mm pore size. The adsorption bed is 15 cm in depth and 3.5 cm in diameter. The experiment is conducted for wide range of Talha Gum concentrations (5.5 -55 g/L). The transmittance is measured for wide range of wave length (350 to 800 nm). The result showed that the colour has changed from pink to colourless-transparent. The transmittance (%) has improved by 5 to 22% depending on the initial transmittance. The colour removal is found to have significant influence on pH, and total dissolved solid (TDS) and less influence on viscosity. The pH increased by 1 unit indicating that the impurities are of basic origin. The TDS is reduced by 20 to 50% indicating the removal of other salts excluding Ca+2 and Mg+2 ions.

TL;DR: In this article, corn starch was oxidised using sodium hypochlorite to enhance its film forming property and reduce viscosity, and this oxidised starch was further modified by n-octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) to introduce hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: Gum Arabic product is an item obtained from the dried discharges of sticky stems and branches of Acacia senegal as discussed by the authors, which consists of a water-soluble dietary fiber digestible only in the intestines less.
Abstract: Gum Arabic product is an item obtained from the dried discharges of sticky stems and branches of Acacia senegal. It consists of a water-soluble dietary fiber digestible only in the intestines less. It is the second export commodity and hard currency earner in Sudan, which produces and trades over 80% of the world's gum Arabic. In addition to the significant economic role for Sudan, gum Arabic plays an important role in rural life, providing steady income for rural households, especially in drought years when crops fail. The unique composition of gum Arabic leads it to be used widely in both the food (dairy products) and nonfood industries. The present review is an attempt to introduce the most important uses of gum Arabic as an industrial food product. As a characteristic wellspring of important, water-dissolvable acacia dietary fiber, gum Arabic offers physiological and nutritional advantages to the consumers of low-calorie, fiber-sustained foodstuffs.
