“…Common sources of dietary fiber include whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It is recommended that adults consume 25-30 g of dietary fiber per day to maintain good health [29][30][31][32]. In plant-based drinks, various soluble or insoluble dietary fibers present in the cell walls of seeds, cereals, or fruit-based ingredients, such as flaxseed gum, almond polysaccharides, and soy polysaccharides, exhibit potential prebiotic characteristics that are beneficial to human health.…”

Plant-based drinks have garnered significant attention as viable substitutes for traditional dairy milk, providing options for individuals who are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy proteins, and those who adhere to vegan or vegetarian diets. In recent years, demand for plant-based drinks has expanded rapidly. Each variety has unique characteristics in terms of flavor, texture, and nutritional composition, offering consumers a diverse range of choices tailored to meet individual preferences and dietary needs. In this review, we aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the various types of plant-based drinks and explore potential considerations including their nutritional compositions, health benefits, and processing technologies, as well as the challenges facing the plant-based drink processing industry. We delve into scientific evidence supporting the consumption of plant-based drinks, discuss their potential roles in meeting dietary requirements, and address current limitations and concerns regarding their use. We hope to illuminate the growing significance of plant-based drinks as sustainable and nutritious alternatives to dairy milk, and assist individuals in making informed choices regarding their dietary habits, expanding potential applications for plant-based drinks, and providing necessary theoretical and technical support for the development of a plant-based drink processing industry.

“…Due to their excellent structural adaptability and high water affinity are also used in non-food industries such as cosmetics, coating, photosensitive resin, fertilizer, casting, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals. Synthesis hydrogel polymers have drawn the most attention among these non-food uses because of their ubiquitous use in the pharmaceutical and medical fields, such as delivery systems for medications, cells, genes, or proteins, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering (Xie et al, 2017). The ophrastus first wrote about Tragacanth gum, an ancient exudate gum, in the third century BC.…”

“…These polysaccharide gums are one of the several basic materials obtained from flora. Due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, high water content, and cellular integrations, polysaccharide-based hydrogels are extremely promising in tissue engineering and biomedical applications because they provide a favourable milieu for cell differentiation and proliferation (Diolosà et al, 2014;Xie et al, 2017).…”

“…These produced hydrogel wound dressings were discovered to be blood compatible and non-thrombogenic in nature after absorbing simulated wound fluid. Additionally, for 24 h without any abrupt releases, these hydrogels contained and released the model drug moxifloxacin in a regulated manner (Xie et al, 2017). Due to their controlled medication release, high swelling debridement properties, and capacity to maintain an ideal wound healing environment to speed up the healing process, these hydrogels can be considered an acceptable material for wound dressing application (Singh et al, 2016).…”

Natural polymers have many uses, and Tragacanth gum is just one of them. Many people are interested in natural gums because of their many attractive characteristics, such as being ‘green’ bio-based renewable materials, being easily accessible, inexpensive, and structurally diverse. One class of naturally occurring polysaccharides is called gum because of its tendency to create a gel or a thick solution. Among the many plant-based raw materials, these polysaccharide gums are abundant. Hydrogels, which are three-dimensional polymeric webs that can imitate live tissues, have demonstrated remarkable potential as adjustable biomaterials in numerous regenerative techniques due to their high water or biological exudate absorption capacities. Natural polysaccharides, often known as gums, are present in many different types of trees and possess many desirable properties, such as being renewable, biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and amenable to chemical modification. Many people are curious about certain parts of the food, water, energy, biotech, environmental, and healthcare sectors as of now. Gum, a type of very important and unique food ingredient, has many vital uses in the food business. Cosmetics, coating, photosensitive resin, fertilizer, casting, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco are just a few of the non-food businesses that make use of their strong water-affinity and structural plasticity. There are a lot of benefits to hydrogels made from natural gums as opposed to those made from synthetic sources. Synthesis hydrogel polymers have been the center of interest among these non-food applications because of their extensive use in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. The Tragacanth gum hydrogels used for medication delivery and tissue engineering have been the focus of this study. We also paid close attention to drug delivery, physical-chemical properties, and the extraction of Tragacanth gum. Our research has a wide range of biomedical applications, including tissue engineering for bone, skin, fixation of bone, periodontal, and cartilage. Possible futures based on hydrogels made of Tragacanth gum were likewise our primary focus.
