“…** The total carbohydrate content of date syrup represents the summation of glucose, fructose and sucrose contents. This value for the acacia gum is based on the non-protein, non-ash and non-fat proportion of the gum, which mainly consists of D-galactose and L-arabinose according to the literature [13].…”

The thermoplastic and hygroscopic behaviors of date syrup (DS) challenge the DS drying process. In this context, DS was mixed with 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% acacia gum (AG) and subjected to a drum dryer. The chemical composition, bulk density (pb), caking degree (CD), glass transition temperature (Tg), and color values of DS powders were studied. The sorption isotherms were also obtained and compared to that of those predicted by mathematical models. According to the results, increasing the AG concentration enhanced the moisture content, pb, brightness, and Tg while it reduced the CD and equilibrium moisture sorption. All DS powders had type III isotherm behavior, i.e., similar to high-sugar foods. Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer (GAB) and Peleg models were found to be suitable for fitting the experimental data and these models explained the monolayer moisture content decrease with increasing AG concentration. These results of the present study, for the first time, verified that the AG can be used as a natural anti-plasticizer agent for DS powder production.

“…Another study reveals that "A. nilotica is easily accessible source of natural antioxidants, which can be used as supplement to aid the therapy of free radical mediated diseases such as cancer, diabetes, in lammation, etc." (Ali et al, 2012), and agree with (Musa et al, 2018) who stated that "The mechanism of action through which GA improves the antioxidant capacity may be due to the fact that GA contains several types of amino acid residues such as lysine, tyrosine, and histidine, which are commonly considered as antioxidants biomolecules". About granulation tissue, as we did not found researches discuss this issue, so we depend on our analysis according to the normal physiology of wound healing and our results.…”

Oral mucosa considered as one of defensive mechanism of oral cavity, it is important in oral functions as eating, swallowing and even talking. Any wound or discontinuity effects on these functions so speeding the healing process with less inflammatory reactions is crucial, many herbs were used at different eras to reach this goal one of these herbs is Acacia plant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of acacia oral gel extract on the wound healing. In materials and method This study include (twenty-one) male rabbits, (seven) for each group used for this study, two incisions of one centimeter length were made on buccal oral mucosa bilaterally one is treated by acacia oral gel while other left for normal healing, the follow up of the wound at twenty-four hours, three days and seven days clinically and histopathological examination were done. In result of this study, The study shows decrease in inflammatory reaction after seventy-two hours of the wound and increase in re-epithelialization rate in wound healing of acacia nilotica gel group, So it is concluded from this study that the acacia plant gel extract has anti-inflammatory effect and accelerate the wound healing of oral mucosa in rabbits.

“…Lattimer and Haub (2010) explained the mechanism as GA solution increases the viscosity of the intestinal contents, interferes with the nutrients absorption, forming micelle, that in turn, decreases lipid absorption from the intestine. Another mechanism suggested that GA soluble fibers may disrupt the enterohepatic circulation of the bile acids, leading to increase in bile acid excretion thus lower plasma cholesterol levels (Musa et al, 2019). A clinical trial based on daily supplement with powdered GA to healthy, prediabetics and type-2 diabetic volunteers, the results revealed a significant decrease in fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAc1) levels (Nasir et al, 2016).…”

Metabolic syndrome is the accompaniment of multiple risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D) including glucose intolerance, hypertension and dyslipidemia where obesity is the basic element at this syndrome. T2DM is a heterogeneous metabolic syndrome resulting from genomic-environment complex interaction. Pumpkin seeds and gum Arabic are two natural products with an obvious hypoglycemic role. Vildagliptin is a selective inhibitor of dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-IV), and a certified therapy for T2DM. This study has been destined to assess in vivo the hypoglycemic impact of pumpkin seeds and gum Arabic in compare with vildagliptin and their combination treatments. 70 male albino rats were randomly separated into seven groups of ten each: control non-diabetic, control non-treated diabetic, diabetic treated with pumpkin seed extract (300mg/kg/day), diabetic treated with gum Arabic (500mg/kg/day), diabetic treated with vildagliptin (10mg/kg/day), diabetic treated with a combination of pumpkin seed extract and vildagliptin, and diabetic treated with a combination of gum Arabic and vildagliptin.T2DM was stimulated by feeding rats on high fat-high fructose/sucrose diet regimen (HFHF/S) for 12 weeks. Biochemical assessment has revealed that pumpkin seed extract, gum Arabic and vildagliptin can alleviate the severity of hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and depress glucagon secretion.
