“…Hydrogels are particularly useful in agriculture and horticulture, sensors, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications [9,11,12]. Gums are important families of natural polymers derived from the seeds or tubers of plants and gum ghatti is a promising polysaccharide [13]. The polysaccharide gums have a different molecular structure and properties, but their common advantages such as renewable, biodegradable, nontoxic, biocompatibility, etc.…”

Abstract:The recent advances and potential applications of nanoparticles and nanofibres for energy, water, food, biotechnology, the environment, and medicine have immensely conversed. The present review describes a 'green' method for the synthesis and stabilization of nanoparticles and 'green electrospinning' both using tree gums (arabic, tragacanth, karaya and kondagogu). Furthermore, this review focuses on the impending applications of both gum stabilized nanoparticles and functionalized membranes in remediation of toxic metals, radioactive effluents, and the adsorptive removal of nanoparticulates from aqueous environments as well as from industrial effluents. Besides, the antibacterial properties of gum derivatives, gum stabilized nanoparticles, and functionalized electrospun nanofibrous membranes will also be highlighted. The functionalities of nanofibrous membranes that can be enhanced by various plasma treatments (oxygen and methane, respectively) will also be emphasized.

“…Most polysaccharides are not surface active but they can stabilize emulsion by gelling or increasing the viscosity of the continuous phase (Dickinson, 2003(Dickinson, , 2009Sahin and Sumnu, 2006). However, some polysaccharides, such as gum Arabic and gum Ghatti, have some emulsifying properties due to the presence of protein moiety (Sahin and Sumnu, 2006;Kang et al, 2011;Deshmukh et al, 2012). These polysaccharides are able to adsorb onto the surface of oil droplets and stabilize them by electrostatic and steric repulsion to prevent droplet flocculation and coalescence (Dickinson, 2003).…”
