“…Thus, the higher total protein value in the samples of this study indicates a higher emulsifying power compared to previous studies. Mohammadi et al (2019) reported the ash contents of various gums as follows: flaxseed (7.4%), xanthan (9.35%), guar (11.9%), locust bean (0.7%), karaya (3.4%) and Arabic (1.2%) [16,38]. Therefore, it is possible to compare them and see that Saqqez has a lower total inorganic mineral content.…”

“…Polysaccharide gums, as natural biopolymers, are abundantly available in nature, and have tremendous industrial applications in various fields [ 14 ]. One such natural biopolymer that has been less explored as a blending partner is Saqqez gum, a nontoxic, renewable and biodegradable oleo-gum resin which generally includes polysaccharides,

-pinene, terpenoids and flavonoids [ 14 , 15 , 16 ] derived from Bene ( Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica) trees belonging to the Anacardiaceae family in Iran (the Zagros zone) [ 17 ].…”

This study investigated a blend of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and Saqqez gum, with a weight ratio of 70:30, respectively, along with two plasticizers, acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), at three different concentrations (14%, 16% and 18% by weight of the PLA). The blend was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile tests, water-absorption behavior (coefficients of water absorption, sorption, diffusion and permeability of the samples during 240 h) and chemical resistance (exposure to 1 mol/L HCl and 1 mol/L NaOH for 240 h). The desired elastomer blend was then used to prepare natural chewing gum, which was subsequently subjected to texture profile analyzer (TPA) tests and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the addition of both plasticizers increased the tensile properties of the blend. Compared to neat PLA, all the blends exhibited an increase in elongation at break and a decrease in yield strength, with the maximum elongation at break (130.6%) and the minimum yield strength (12.2 MPa) observed in the blend containing 16% ATBC. Additionally, all the thermal attributes studied, including Tg, Tc and Tm, were lower than those of neat PLA, and the Tg values deviated from the values predicted via Fox’s equation. SEM images of the blends confirmed that plasticization improved the homogeneity and distribution of the components in the blend structure. PEG 18% and ATBC 16% exhibit the highest and lowest water-absorption behavior, respectively. Regarding chemical resistance, all blends showed weight gain when exposed to HCl, while no weight loss was observed for resistance to NaOH. The chewing gum sample obtained similar values for the mentioned tests compared to the commercial control sample. Overall, the results indicate that plasticization enhances the structure and performance of the PLA/Saqqez gum blend and further investigation is warranted.

“…Apart from its environmental values, also has wide medicinal and industrial applications ( Esmaili, Mousavi Mirkala, Alijanpour, Hajjarian, & Ghanbari, 2022 ). The fruit, leaves and gum of Baneh have antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, anticancer, anti-proliferative, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetics, anti-hepatitis, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-cholinesterase effects ( Ghalavand et al, 2022 , Mohammadi et al, 2019 , Pasban-Aliabadi et al, 2019 ). Parts of the main compounds of BG are α-pinene, terpenoids, and flavonoids, which prevent the growth and acid production of microorganisms involved in tooth decay ( Mohammadi et al, 2019 ).…”
