Mucilages are natural compounds consisting mainly of polysaccharides with complex
chemical structures. Mucilages also contain uronic acids, proteins, lipids, and bioactive …

We studied the use of a novel polysaccharide obtained from mutamba (Guazuma ulmifolia
Lam.) seeds as an emulsifying agent. Orange peel oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by …

The emulsifying properties of water soluble yellow mustard mucilage (WSM) were compared
with two commercial emulsifiers—gum Arabic and citrus pectin. Of the three polysaccharides …

Plant mucilages have been used for many applications as stabilizers, emulsifiers, thickening
or gelling agents, viscosity modifiers, encapsulating agents and food packaging materials …

Mucilage is a soluble dietary fiber used as a food additive to give foods a firmer texture,
aside from its many health benefits and pharmacological properties. It is a polysaccharide in …

The properties of mucilage obtained from Dioscorea opposita, generated during industrial
manufacturing were investigated in this study. Characteristics such as monosaccharide …

Mimosa pudica (MP) is an ornamental plant due to seismonastic movements that close
leaves and fall petioles in response to touch, wind, light, heat, cold, and vibration. The seeds …

This chapter focuses on the emulsifying properties of hemicelluloses. Hemicelluloses are
gummy polysaccharides of complexity between gum and cellulose. Based on the major …

The increasing interest in the use of natural ingredients has driven keen research and
commercial interest in the use of mucilages for a range of applications. Typically, mucilages …

The instantaneous demand for foods, detergents, cosmetics, and personal care products
that can be commercialized with value-added benefits including natural origin …
