TL;DR: The results suggest that the antibodies SY CC7, SY HH3, and SY J1A1 could be used in combination with each other for the detection of potential adulterants of A. senegal and the Detection of gum arabic in foodstuffs.
Abstract: Gum arabic from Acacia senegal is commonly used as an additive in foodstuffs. Adulteration of gum arabic by other gums is a potential problem for reasons of safety and quality. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of potential adulterants of gum arabic. Indirect competitive ELISAs (IC-ELISAs) were developed using the monoclonal antibodies SY CC7 (A. senegal), SY HH3 (Acacia seyal), and SY J1A1 (Combretum erythrophyllum). All IC-ELISAs had a working range of 0.005-10 mg/mL. The antibodies used were tested using the IC-ELISAs for cross-reactivity with other Acacia species and other gums. The antibodies were very specific for their respective antigens. Significant cross-reactivity was found for SY CC7 (between A. senegal and A. melliferae) and SY J1A1 (between C. erythrophyllum and A. seyal). The IC-ELISA was adapted further to test confectionery samples for the presence of gum arabic, which was successful, although recovery rates were reduced. Both IC- and plate trapped antigen ELISA (PTA-ELISA) formats were able to distinguish an adulterated sample of gum arabic when blended with either A. seyal or C. erythrophyllum. The PTA-ELISA was more sensitive for A. seyal than the IC-ELISA, but both were equally sensitive for C. erythrophyllum. The results suggest that the antibodies SY CC7, SY HH3, and SY J1A1 could be used in combination with each other for the detection of potential adulterants of A. senegal and the detection of gum arabic in foodstuffs.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation of vegetation cover over the area, also including A. senegal and A. seyal trees, during the period between 1999 and 2013 using two land satellite images.
Abstract: This chapter aims to assess and map the vegetation cover, which includes Acacia seyal and Acacia senegal trees in the Al-Gadarif area of Sudan, and it aims to assess the degradation of vegetation cover over the area, also including A. senegal and A. seyal trees, during the period between 1999 and 2013. The study utilized two land satellite images for the period from 1999 to 2013 that covered more than 61,000 ha in the study area. Subset images were analyzed using ERDAS Imagine 8.5 software. Layers of height spectrum were used to detect the position of vegetation cover based on supervised analysis after image correction. The degradation in gum Arabic areas was mainly induced through mechanized farming, shifting cultivation, and urbanization activities in the study area. In addition, the study portends that the application of remote sensing technology is an efficient method to use for an exposure of vegetation cover changes in gum Arabic in the study area.
