TL;DR: In this article, seven samples of gum from Acacia senegal trees growing in north-east Uganda have been characterized and all have negative specific rotations (−26 to −34°) and nitrogen contents of 0.27-0.28% and satisfy the revised JECFA specification for gum arabic.

TL;DR: Gum arabic, containing both polysaccharide and polypeptide components, was hypothesized to be potentially interfacially active in the gelatin/maltodextrin system, in analogy with synthetic block copolymer compatibilizers in demixed synthetic polymer systems, but the hypothesis was experimentally refuted as no evidence was found to suggest that it altered the phase separation behavior.

23 Nov 1988TL;DR: In this article, a carbonated beverage is produced which comprises a low-calorie sweetener such as aspartame, and a cold water-soluble natural gum, particularly gum arabic.
Abstract: A carbonated beverage is produced which comprises a low-calorie sweetener such as aspartame, and a cold water-soluble natural gum, particularly gum arabic. It is a low calorie beverage which possesses excellent palatability and a reduced tendency to cause dental caries.

TL;DR: In this article, a polysaccharide compound containing non-polymer siloxane graft(s) obtained by reacting a poly-sarccharide P with a polysarcide compound of formula (I) is used in cosmetic.
Abstract: Polysaccharide compounds containing non-polymer siloxane graft(s) that may be obtained by reacting a polysaccharide and a siloxane compound, is used in cosmetic. Polysaccharide compounds containing non-polymer siloxane graft(s) that may be obtained by reacting a polysaccharide and a siloxane compound of formula (I), is used in cosmetic. R : 1-12C alkyl, or 2-8C alkenyl; A : saturated or unsaturated, optionally hydroxylated 1-22C divalent hydrocarbon-based group, which may contain a hetero atom N, O or S in the chain; Z : -NHR4, - +>NR 1R 2R 3 X ->, -C?=N, -SH, -OH, guanidine group or guanidinium salt, or a sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate or phosphonate salt, the salts possibly being organic or mineral; R4 : H or 1-22C alkyl, optionally bearing hydroxyl and/or quaternary ammonium substituent R 1-R 3H or 1-22 alkyl group, optionally bearing hydroxyl substituent(s); X : mineral or organic anion. An independent claim is also included for polysaccharide compound containing non-polymer siloxane graft(s) obtained by reacting a polysaccharide P' with a siloxane compound of formula (I), P' representing a polysaccharide chain consisting of hemicellulose, lignocellulose, starch, inulin, guar gum, xanthan gum, pullulan, agar-agar, sodium, potassium or ammonium alginate, carrageenan, dextran, furcellaran, gellan gum, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, hyaluronic acid, konjac mannan, lignin sulfonate, carob gum, partially N-acetylated chitin, pectin, polydextrose, rhamsan gum or welan gum, preferably having a weight-average molecular mass of 500-15000000.
