TL;DR: In this paper, rice kernels were steeped (10°C, 5 h) in an aqueous solution containing gum arabic and xanthan and then drained, wet-milled, and steamed to prepare rice cakes.
Abstract: Rice kernels were steeped (10°C, 5 h) in an aqueous solution containing gum arabic (0.36%) and xanthan (0.24%) and then drained, wet-milled, and steamed to prepare rice cakes. The cakes were then frozen (–40°C for 50 min). The effect of the gum addition on the textural properties of the cakes during storage for 46 h at 25°C after being thawed was examined. Using the combination of gum arabic and xanthan mitigated the quality deterioration of rice cakes such as aggregation of rice flour, which had been induced by xanthan alone. Also, the increase in hardness during storage was substantially reduced by soaking rice kernels in the gum arabic/xanthan solution. Overall results revealed that the steeping in the gum solution improved the storage stability of rice cakes.

TL;DR: Guava-banana fruit leather was made by heat-drying a mixture of guava puree, banana puree and sorbitol, kappa-carrageenan or gum Arabic, and water at 60 °C for 8 hours as mentioned in this paper .
Abstract: Guava-banana fruit leather was made by heat-drying a mixture of guava puree, banana puree, sorbitol, kappa-carrageenan or gum Arabic, and water at 60 °C for 8 h in various formulations (F1 to F6). Each formulation was evaluated for its effect on water activity, texture, surface color, proximate composition, pH, ascorbic acid content, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties. Hydrocolloid kappa-carrageenan was found to be the most significant independent variable affecting the desired properties. However, using gum Arabic was more effective at maintaining both water activity and ascorbic acid levels, as well as improving starch digestibility in vitro. In general, there was no discernible effect of the guava to banana ratio in any formulation. While hydrocolloids have no effect on the texture of guava-banana fruit leather, they do affect other sensory characteristics such as color, aroma, taste, and overall. In general, panelists preferred fruit leather made with a 50:50 (F1), 40:60 (F3), or 30:70 (F6) guava-banana ratio and containing kappa-carrageenan.

TL;DR: In this paper, the inhibition effect of exudate gum from Acaciatrees (Gum Acacia, GA) on the corrosion of carbon steel API 5LX60in acidic media1 M was studied by weight loss, electrochemical polarization methods; also, surface morphology.
Abstract: The inhibition effect of exudate gum from Acaciatrees (Gum Acacia, GA) on the corrosion of carbon steel API 5LX60in acidic media1 M was studied by weight loss,electrochemical polarization methods; also, surface morphology.The results of weight loss and electrochemical polarization methods indicated that the inhibitor efficiency (I%) increased with increasing inhibitor concentration.The results show that GAis a good inhibitor in 1 M . The maximum percentage inhibition efficiency was found to be 92% at 4 g L. The adsorption of GA on pipeline API 5L X60 steel surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and involves physical adsorption. Polarization curves reveal that GA acts as a mixed-type inhibitorin sulfuric acid.
