Plant mucilage is a renewable and cost-effective source of plant-based compounds that are biologically active, biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. Until recently, plant mucilage has been of interest mostly for technological purposes. This review examined both its traditional uses and potential modern applications in a new generation of health-promoting foods, as well as in cosmetics and biomaterials. We explored the nutritional, phytochemical, and pharmacological richness of plant mucilage, with a particular focus on its biological activity. We also highlighted areas where more research is needed in order to understand the full commercial potential of plant mucilage.

“…23 On the other hand, CSM is an anionic water-soluble heteropolysaccharide which has been identified as a polymer of β-D-xylopyranosyl, α-D-glucopyranosyl and 4-Οmethyl-α-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid. 24 The findings observed could be explained by the capacity of swollen CSM particles to act as fillers, which reduces the matrix mobility and increases products' consistency and firmness. 7 Concerning the temperature effect, significantly lower (p<0.05) area and maximum force values were noted as temperature increased (Table 2).…”

Gums and mucilage are mainly explored for its various applications in dosage form development. Salvia hispanica (Lamiaceae) i.e. Chia seed mucilage mainly composed of xylose, glucose and methyl glucuronic acid that forms a branched polysaccharide of high molecular weight. The present study strives to investigate the disintegration ability of Salvia hispanica mucilage in the formulation of fast dissolving tablets of selected model drug indomethacin. Indomethacin belonging to the category of NSAIDs and is used as a therapeutic agent for relieving pain, inflammation and joint stiffness. Salvia hispanica mucilage was isolated and characterized by physicochemical parameters. Indomethacin tablets (F1-F5) were formulated by direct compression method using S. hispanica mucilage powder in varying concentration range of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% respectively. Crospovidone (6%) was used as synthetic disintegrating agent for comparison. Micro crystalline cellulose was used as tablet diluent, mannitol, talc and magnesium stearate were used to enhance mouth feel and as lubricants respectively. All the formulations were evaluated for their pre and post compression parameters like tablet hardness, thickness, % friability, wetting time, drug content, disintegration time which was found to be in permissible limits. Drug excipient compatibility study was carried out using FTIR technique. The formulation F3 containing 6% of Salvia hispanica mucilage exhibit maximum drug release of 98.5% in 30 minutes, F4 and F5 formulations containing 8% and 10% of Salvia hispanica mucilage showed 82.4% and 80.5% drug release in 30 minutes. Results of in vitro drug released kinetic study indicated that the optimized formulation F3 followed Korsmeyer Peppas model with R 2 value of 0.9793. Stability studies performed on F3 formulation indicated that the prepared tablets remain stable for the period of 90 days and showed no change
