Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1987 A representative mucilage, named Hibiscus-mucilage SF, was isolated from the white flower buds of Hibiscus syriacus L. It was homogeneous on electrophoresis and gel chromatography. Its intrinsic viscosity value in aqueous solution was 26.0. It is mainly composed of partially acetylated acidic polysaccharide of molecular weight 1050000, and is composed ...

Dissecting the genetic basis for seed coat mucilage heteroxylan biosynthesis in plantago ovata using gamma irradiation and infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2017 Seeds from the myxospermous species Plantago ovata release a polysaccharide-rich mucilage upon contact with water. This seed coat derived mucilage is composed predominantly of heteroxylan (HX) and is utilized as a gluten-free dietary fiber supplement to ...

The potential of jackfruit starch for use as suspending agent and emulsifying agent [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006 Due to the physicochemical properties of jackfruit (JK) seed starch, it is interesting to use jackfruit mucilage for cosmetic application. The aim of this study was to investigate the physical properties and the effectiveness of JK mucilage at the range ...

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1985 A representative mucilage, named Althaea-mucilage RL, was isolated from the leaves of Althaea rosea CAVAILLES. The final preparation was homogeneous as determined by ultracentrifugal analysis, electrophoresis, and gel chromatography. Its water solution gave an intrinsic viscosity value of 32. 5.

Influence of Mucilage Viscosity On The Globule Structure And Stability Of Certain Starch Emulsions [PDF]
, 2005 A study was carried out to determine the influence of mucilage viscosity on the globule structure (i.e. size and number) of certain starch emulsions. The starches investigated were cassava, potato and maize.

The effects of diatom pore-size on the structures and extensibilities of single mucilage molecules [PDF]
, 2017 Diatoms secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), or mucilage, around the cell wall that may serve to aid in motility and form a discrete layer that may help maintain thicker layers of EPS that have a greater role in adhesion.

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Seed mucilage in temperate grassland species is unrelated to moisture requirements
Plant-Environment InteractionsMyxospermy, the release of seed mucilage upon hydration, plays multiple roles in seed biology. Here, we explore whether seed mucilage occurs in a suite of temperate grassland species to test if the prevalence of species producing seed mucilage is ...
