Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in

Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...

Plasma-induced modification of fenugreek galactomannan thickener film via dielectric barrier discharge for textile printing

Scientific Reports
Fenugreek seeds are a valuable source of galactomannan, a natural thickener with applications in textile printing. However, traditional galactomannan extraction methods often suffer from lengthy processing times and limited yields.

Downregulation of galactomannan galactosyltransferase in Cyamopsis tetragonoloba

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2023
Abstract Guar is a legume of industrial importance due to the presence of gum (galactomannan) in its seed endosperm. The mannose (M)/galactose (G) ratio in galactomannan molecule is critical in deciding the physico-chemical properties of guar gum. Gum with reduced galactose content has better commercial value due to better viscosity.

The enhancing effects of locust bean gum and xanthan gum on the digestibility of potato starch under thermal treatments

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
The dual‐thermal treatment enhanced the interaction between potato starch and gums, consequently reducing starch digestibility. Abstract Locust bean gum (LBG) and xanthan gum (XG) played regulatory roles in the digestibility of potato starch (PS) during thermal treatments.
