“…Acacia and Prosopis gums have been separated on a T-Gel column (p-mercaptoethanol coupled to divinylsulfone-activated agarose) on the basis of their relative protein content, yielding glycoprotein fractions of 52 and 36% protein content for arabic and mesquite gum, respectively (Goycoolea et al 1997). Subsequent analysis by SDS-PAGE showed these fractions to be polydisperse, containing at least three putative AGPs under 35 kDa for both Acacia and Prosopis.…”

“…These two associated factors have been related to potential mutagenic effects documented for tannic acid (Stich and Powrie 1982). The presence of high tannin levels (-1.9%) has recently been confirmed consistently in Prosopis exudate gum samples, particularly in dark gum nodules from well-identified individual trees (Goycoolea et al 1997). The chemical nature of these polyphenols and the AGP fractions with which they associate remain poorly understood.…”

“…Mesquite gum forms and stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions and has the ability to encapsulate orange citrus oil during spray drying, and both properties compare well to those of gum arabic , Goycoolea et al 1997. Despite these similar functional properties, gum arabic is a firmly established food additive with "ADI not specified" and GRAS status, respectively, by JECFA (European Community, official additive number E 414) and the U.S. FDA (Sec.…”

“…[28] Locust bean gum and GG mixing in sago starch increase thermal and rheological properties. [29] Gum of Acacia is a good source of energy, protein, and minerals and is utilized by patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) midsized primates [6] while Cassia gum is used as a stabilizer (thickening and gelling agent) in the manufacture of canned pet foods (for cats and dogs). Cassia gum is generally recognized as safe under conditions of its intended use as a thickening agent in human and pet foods.…”

The present review explains nutritional, therapeutic, and pharmaceutical potential of plant gum that is commonly applied to water-soluble, non-starch polysaccharides of commerce. This article also emphasizes commercial and domestic uses of important products of gum such as chicle and jelutong mainly non-elastic gums or chewing gums. These are also used in food, pharmaceutical, paper textile, and other industries. The present review also explains various biological activities such as antidiarrheic, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, antiparasitic, gastrourinary, antitumor, antiparasitic, antioxidant, chemopreventive, and gastroprotective activity of plant gums. These reduce stomach inflammation, system cleansing or to settle the intestines. Other uses for mesquite gum include treatment for lice, sore throat, cough, laryngitis, fever reduction, painful gums, and hemorrhoids and it can be used as a purgative. Gum arabic is a water-soluble dietary fiber rich in Ca , and decreases plasma phosphate concentration as well as urinary excretion of phosphate and Na + . Gums are used as adhesives, crystallization inhibitors, emulsifying agents, emulsion stabilizers, encapsulating agents, film formers, foam stabilizers, suspending agents, suspension stabilizers, or syneresis inhibitors and impart other specific properties. The gum is also used to a limited extent in polishes, contact insecticides and pesticides, photographic emulsions, and pharmaceuticals. This article suggests wider use of plant gums in generation of drug delivery system for cancer and brain tumor therapy. There is no doubt that chemical constituents of plant gums can be largely used for making therapeutic drugs because of their broadspectrum biological effectiveness.

“…Applications of spray-drying for encapsulating essential oils are reviewed in Table 2 [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Typical encapsulation materials used with essential oils are acacia gum, maltodextrins, hidrophobically modified starches, proteins and mixtures of thereof.…”

Essential oils have important commercial applications as preservatives and flavours, and more recently as natural antimicrobial agents. These applications require a suitable formulation constituted by biodegradable compounds that protect the essential oil from degradation and evaporation at the same time that allows for a sustained release. Microcapsules of biopolymers loaded with essential oils meet these requirements. Such microcapsules can be prepared with different processes such as spray-drying, freeze-drying and coacervation, and supercritical fluids are an advantageous medium for this purpose. Some supercritical fluid-based precipitation processes have already been applied to produce these microcapsules. Amongst them, the results obtained with Particles from Gas Saturated Solutions (PGSS), PGSS-drying and Concentrated Powder Form (CPF) processes are particularly promising. Recent developments in the preparation of formulations with supercritical fluids include the preparation of liposomes and micelles, which can be suitable carriers for essential oils.
