“…Due to its yellow flowers, Cassia is often cultivated as an ornamental plant. Species of Cassia are found in India (Cassia tora, Cassia obtusifolia, Cassia uniflora), China (Cassia obtusifolia, Cassia fistula), Korea (Cassia obtusifolia), and Japan (Cassia obtusifolia) [14,19,163,164]. Cassia has small diamond-shaped seeds (2-4 mm long), which are yellow-brown to dark brown in color [19].…”

“…After soaking in water, the swelling seeds are the main source of mucilages. Recent oral toxicity analysis showed seed mucilage from Cassia uniflora, which means that it can be used in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a gelling and stabilizing agent or tablet binder [19]. Studies carried out by Singh et al showed the usefulness of C. tora seed mucilages in concentrations of 2.0-8.0% (w/v) for the preparations of tablets [166].…”

The Renaissance of Plant Mucilage in Health Promotion and Industrial Applications: A Review

Plant mucilage is a renewable and cost-effective source of plant-based compounds that are biologically active, biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic, and environmentally friendly. Until recently, plant mucilage has been of interest mostly for technological purposes. This review examined both its traditional uses and potential modern applications in a new generation of health-promoting foods, as well as in cosmetics and biomaterials. We explored the nutritional, phytochemical, and pharmacological richness of plant mucilage, with a particular focus on its biological activity. We also highlighted areas where more research is needed in order to understand the full commercial potential of plant mucilage.

“…X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used as effective methods to analyse the crystal structures of polymers, and they were widely employed in the structural characterisation of polysaccharides (Arab et al ., 2021; Deore & Mahajan., 2021). Figure S2a showed the XRD patterns of XYCS‐P and XYCS.…”

The present study focussed on a novel phosphorylated corn straw xylans (XYCS-P) that had excellent thermal stability, crystallinity and functional activity and could be potentially used as functional agents in food products. In this work, the phosphorylated derivative XYCS-P was successfully prepared, and the chemical characterisation, spectral analysis, thermal analysis, morphology analysis, antioxidant capacity and anticancer activity were evaluated. The results indicated that XYCS-P possessed superior thermal stability to the native corn straw xylans (XYCS) when exposed to the high temperature (above 240 °C). In addition, the crystallinity of XYCS-P was better than that of XYCS. Moreover, for XYCS-P, the scavenging activity of the hydroxyl radical, (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical and the ferric ion reducing antioxidant power were significantly stronger than that of XYCS (P < 0.01). Besides, XYCS-P exhibited a remarkable inhibition effect for HepG2 cells, and the IC 50 value of XYCS-P was determined to be 335.91 μg mL −1 (P < 0.05).

“…The peaks between 2850 and 2950 cm À1 were related to CÀH stretching of methyl and methylene groups (Temenouga et al, 2016). These peaks were typical spectra of carbohydrates (Deore & Mahajan, 2021). The peaks around 2300-2400 cm À1 in the spectrum of the MW-pretreated mucilages could be related to aliphatic nitrile groups from proteins.…”

SummaryIn this study, microwave (MW)‐assisted extraction was used to obtain mucilage from Camelina sativa seeds. MW pretreatment was applied for 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 min and then conventional heating was conducted (55 °C for 2 h). The extracted mucilage was spray dried. The MW‐assisted extraction method (2.02%–2.50%) had higher extraction yield for camelina seed mucilage than the conventional heating method (1.91%) (P < 0.05). The emulsifying properties of the mucilages were compared with those of gum Arabic and all emulsions displayed shear thinning behaviour (pseudoplastic, n < 1). The apparent viscosity of the conventional, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 min MW mucilage emulsions were 15.83, 14.48, 7.91 and 7.56 cP, respectively, at 10 s−1. MW pretreatment improved physical stability and resulted in a reduction in the droplet size of mucilage‐stabilised emulsions with increasing process time. The highest droplet size belonged to the conventional mucilage emulsion (d32, 4.43 μm), while the lowest belonged to the 7.5 min MW mucilage emulsion (d32, 2.08 μm) (P < 0.05). The results highlight the advantages of using MW pretreatment for mucilage extraction and the potential of using camelina seed mucilage as a natural emulsifier.
