RISRole of mucilage in germination of fourteen species of medicinal plants
The role of mucilage in the germination of 14 species of medicinal plants from six families was investigated. Germination tests were conducted using four replications of 25 seeds of each species in Petri dishes lined with filter paper...
Optimization of extraction, antioxidant activity and functionalproperties of quince seed mucilage by RSM
tThe effect of extraction temperature (25–65◦C), extraction time (5–25 min) and water to seed ratio(10:1–50:1) on yield, protein content, turbidity, viscosity, antioxidant activity, emulsion stability andfoam stability of quince seed mucilage...
Fabrication of cress seed gum nanoparticles, an anionic polysaccharide, using desolvation technique: An optimization study
Cress (Lepidium sativum) seed gum was selected as a new source of hydrocolloid to fabricate a novel polysaccharide nanoparticle by desolvation method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate individual ...
Effect of nitrogen different levels on yield and mucilage content of isabgol(plantago ovata L.)
levels of nitrogen fertilizer (zero (N0), 25 (N25), 50 (N50) and 75 (N75) kg.ha-1). Plant height, biological yield, seed yield, and mucilage content of isabgol were measured. The results indicated that the effect of different amounts of nitrogen...
Study of seed and biological yield and mucilage content of isabgol affected by different manure amounts
Isabgol (Plantago ovata L.) is an annual medicinal plant that the dried seeds and the seed husks are demulcent, emollient and laxative. In order to evaluate the effect of different cow manure levels on yield and mucilage content of isabgol, a field...
Rheological behavior of mucilage extracted from Lepidium perfoliatum seeds: Experimental and modeling
Qodume shahri (Lepidium perfoliatum) seed produces large amount of mucilage when soaked in water. The flow properties of Lepidium perfoliatum seed gum have been investigated. The rheological behavior as a function of gum concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1...
The effects of concentration and heating-cooling rate on rheological properties of Plantago lanceolata seed mucilage
In this study, the effect of concentration (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) and heating-cooling rate (1, 5 and 10 °C min−1) on the rheological properties of Plantago lanceolata seed mucilage (PLSM) solutions were investigated. It was observed that the gum...
Characterization of a novel biodegradable edible film obtained fromDracocephalum moldavica seed mucilage
This study investigated the feasibility of using Dracocephalum moldavica seed mucilage (DMSM) as anovel film-forming material. The chemical composition and functional group of the dried DMSM weredetermined. The DMSM films were prepared using three...
Optimization of mucilage extraction conditions from Plantago major L. seed using response surface methodology
Identification of a new source of hydrocolloids is of interest due to their important effects on the textural attributes of food products. The objective of this study was to investigate the extraction conditions of Plantago major L. seed mucilage...
Role of mucilage in germination of medicinal plants
Germination and early seedling growth are crucial stages in crop establishment, hence determine the final density of plants per unit area. Mucilages are Polysaccharide macromolecules which are soluble in water and in addition to the medical...
