Isolation and characterization of acetylated LM-pectins extracted from okra pods [PDF]
Pectin was isolated by aqueous extraction at pH 6.0 or 2.0 from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) pods. An isolation protocol was designed to extract pectin and to study the influence of the extraction pH on their composition and physicochemical ...

The effects of diatom pore-size on the structures and extensibilities of single mucilage molecules [PDF]
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.

The potential of jackfruit starch for use as suspending agent and emulsifying agent [PDF]
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 ...

Influence of Mucilage Viscosity On The Globule Structure And Stability Of Certain Starch Emulsions [PDF]
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.

Challenges in imaging and predictive modeling of rhizosphere processes [PDF]
Background Plant-soil interaction is central to human food production and ecosystem function. Thus, it is essential to not only understand, but also to develop predictive mathematical models which can be used to assess how climate and soil management ...

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Seed mucilage in temperate grassland species is unrelated to moisture requirements
Myxospermy, 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 ...

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of Mucilage from Opuntia cochenillifera (L.) Miller
The aim of this study was to extract mucilage from O. cochenillifera (L.) cacti and determine its functional and physicochemical properties. The best mucilage yield (31%) was obtained by nonthermal extraction with hydration.
