Non-traditional galactomannans sources are widely cultivated in the Brazilian Northeast Region, such as the species Caesalpinia pulcherrima (peacock flower) and Delonix regia (flamboyant). The galactomannans GM-CP and GM-DR were extracted from the respective seeds and are being studied as potential therapeutic agents, but systematic evaluations on their acute toxicity are yet to be reported. Groups of three female rats received oral GMCP or GM-DR (300 mg kg-1), whereas a control group received vehicle (saline). Since there was no lethality, other groups received doses of 2000 mg kg-1, which also did not cause lethality. Organs and blood samples were collected on day 14. Mechanical hypernociception and inflammatory cell influx were measured in other groups receiving intra-articular doses of GM-CP or GM-DR (200 µg, n = 5 per group). Neither galactomannan evoked physiological / behavioral changes or joint inflammation. Since the LD50 was less than 2000 mg kg-1, such polysaccharides may be allocated in the class 5 of the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.

Lithraea molleoides fruit gum (LMFG) is a valuable product obtained from the total hydrolysis of the fruit. The hydrolysis process involves three methods: thermal (LMFGT), alkaline (LMFGB), and acid (LMFGA). Through these methods, the aim is to break bonds and de-esterify polysaccharides, resulting in increased solubility and decreased molecular weight. The resulting hydrolysates are then combined with pectins in a 1:2 ratio to form films. In this study, the focus is on utilizing the hydrolysates of Lithraea molleoides gums for film applications, with an evaluation of their structural and physicochemical characteristics. The films produced exhibit excellent mechanical properties and low water vapor permeability, as well as exceptional thermal stability. These properties make them highly suitable for industrial films in pharmaceutical and food applications. This research highlights the potential of LMFG-based films as a viable solution for various industrial needs due to their outstanding performance across multiple parameters.
