TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested to apply a preparation containing, weight %: water-soluble cellulose derivative 1.0-15.0, alginic acid 0.1- 15.0 and water - the rest.
Abstract: FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: it is suggested to apply a preparation containing, weight%: water-soluble cellulose derivative 1.0-15.0, alginic acid 0.1- 15.0 and, at least, one component chosen out of a group including carraginan, pectin, fucoidine, zostherin, gum arabic, xanthane gum, trogacanth gum 0.03-15.0, water - the rest. The suggested preparation is of 250 cP viscosity. The innovation broadens the number of preparations highly adhesive to both fresh and weeping wounds by forming elastic steam- permeable covering right at the wound that requires no additional fixation. EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy. 10 cl

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method to obtain the titled composition capable of forming dried film for food freshness by emulsifying fats and oils to an aqueous solution comprising a starch hydrolyzate, or its mixture with natural paste in the presence of an emulisified agent.
Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain the titled composition capable of forming dried film for presserving food freshness, by emulsifying fats and oils to an aqueous solution comprising a) a starch hydrolyzate, b) sodium caseinate or its mixture with natural paste in the presence of an emulsifying agent CONSTITUTION: a) 100ptswt of a starch hydrolyzate having a grape sugar equivalent not more than 25, obtained by hydrolyzing starch with an acid on an enzyme is blended with b) 25W100ptswt of sodium caseinate or its mixture with natural paste, eg, gum arabic, tragacenth gum, xanthan gum, guar gum to prepare an equeous solution, c) 1W15wt% based on fats and oils of an emulsifying agent, eg, fatty acid ester of sucrose, fatty acid ester of glycerol, soybeam lecithin, etc and d) 100W150ptswt of fats (or oils), eg, soybean oil, corn oil, beef tallow, coconut oil, etc are added to the aqueous solution which is emulisified to give the desired food covering composition COPYRIGHT: (C)1980,JPO&Japio

TL;DR: It clearly appeared that girth has positively correlation with gum yield, if CAZRI gum inducing technology is applied appropriately with vigorous outreach programmes, the species can be source of income it millions of people in Indian arid and semi-arid regions.
Abstract: Hot arid regions of India lies between 24-29 North latitude and 70-76 East longitude covering an area of 317000 sq. km, which are spread over in the state of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Telengana, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Particular in Rajasthan, Acacia senegal (L.) Willdenow or Acacia seyal (Fam. Leguminosae) is an important species, the source of gum Arabic is found in the desert state of Rajasthan, especially in arid western Rajasthan. It’s habitats in arid western Rajasthan included rocky hills, sandy plains, sandy hummock and sand dunes After repeated trials and error, ICAR-CAZRI, Jodhpur standardized the dose of Ethephon treatment of A. senegal trees for enhanced recovery of gum Arabic. The present study deals with CAZRI developed gum Arabic production technology correlation between different girth classes and gum Arabic production pattern. From the data obtained, after treatment, maximum average gum yield (375g) were obtain from DBH group (51-60 cm) followed by DBH group of 41-50 cm, (average gum yield 322.5 g). In case of DBH group of 20-30 cm, average gum yield was 210 g. it clearly appeared that girth has positively correlation with gum yield. If CAZRI gum inducing technology is applied appropriately with vigorous outreach programmes, the species can be source of income it millions of people in Indian arid and semi-arid regions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 09-09-2017 Date of acceptance: 20-09-2017 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: Fonio Husk Particleboard (FHP) as discussed by the authors is a product of crushed balls of gum Arabic that was mixed with water at ratio 4:3 by weight.
Abstract: Fonio (“Acha”) husk passing through a maximum 4mm sieve aperture was blended with an adhesive liquid resin of gum Arabic to form Fonio Husk Particleboard (FHP) samples. The resin binder was a product of crushed balls of gum Arabic that was mixed with water at ratio 4:3 by weight. The resin was introduced at percentage levels of 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45% by weight. After pressing, heat treatments and curing, the particleboard samples were tested for mechanical strengths. The compressive strength ranged from 0.057N/mm 2 at 20% level to 0.369N/mm 2 at 45% level. Tensile strength increased steadily with increase in resin levels peaking at 0.792 N/mm 2 for 45% level. The flexural strength followed the same trend peaking at 45% level with 3.697 N/mm 2 . Some of the values met the minimum values prescribed by British, American and European Standards. The boards may not be used as load bearing materials but will be better suited as internal wall partitions and ceiling materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have evaluated the suspension properties of plant gums and found that they can be used as stabilizer and thickener of choice for pharmaceutical suspension. But the results showed that sedimentation volume, viscosity and particle size w ere directly proportional to the concentration of t he suspending agents.
Abstract: It is evident that, plant gums and muci lage have been widely used in various industries li ke paper, textile, food, pharmaceuticals, ink, cosmetics, petroleum du e to their abundance in nature, non-toxic, bio-degr adable, ecofriendly and comparitivley cheap. They are frequ ently used in pharmaceuticals as thickening, bindin g, emulsifying, suspending, and stabilizing agents and coating materials in micro encapsulation. Various plant gums, which have been used as Suspending agents include, Acacia, Compound Tragacanth , xanthan gum. In view of importance of mucilage in pharmaceuticals for the manufacture of suspension , Cassia roxburghii seed gum (family Fabaceae/Leguminosae) were evaluated by comparing with Acacia and Compound Tragacanth gum at concentration 2.5 and 3%w/v in sulphamethoxazole suspension . The prepared suspension was evaluated f or its sedimentation volume, rheology and particle size an alysis. The Cassia roxburghii (filtered gum) at 2.5%w/v produced good suspendability compared to the Cassia roxburghii (Defatted gum) , Acacia and Compound Tragacanth gum. .The suspending ability of the suspending age nts were in the order of cassia roxburghii (filtered gum) >Compound Tragacanth > cassia roxburghii (defatted gum) > Acacia gum. The results showed that sedimentation volume, viscosity and particle size w ere directly proportional to the concentration of t he suspending agents. The reverse case was observed with the flow rate. The present studies indicates that Cassia roxburghii mucilage obtained by filteration method appeared to exhibit the best suspendability for sulphamethoxaz ole suspensions, compared with compound Tragacanth , Cassia roxburgii (defatted gum) and Acacia gum , and can be employed as stabilizer and thickener of choice i n pharmaceutical suspension.
