Commiphora wightii based bioactive edible film was developed for the preservation of meat products. Maltodextrin and alginate-based edible films were developed using different levels of C. wightii namely, 0.25% (T 1 ), 0.50% (T 2 ), 0.75% (T 3 ) and 0.0% (control) and were characterized (thickness (mm), solubility (%), transparency and moisture content (%)) and assessed for their efficacy for improving the storage quality of meat products during refrigerated storage using chicken nuggets as a meat model system. The chicken nuggets were wrapped in the edible films, packaged under vacuum, and stored at refrigeration temperature (4 ± 1 C) for 60 days. The samples were taken on 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60th day and evaluated for various storage quality parameters. Addition of C. wightii increased (p < .05) total phenolic (mg/g Gallic acid equivalents) and total flavonoid contents (mg/g Quercetin equivalents) and reduced free fatty acids (% oleic acid), TBARS (mg malondialdehyde/kg) and microbial counts [total plate, psychrophilic, yeast/mold, and anaerobic counts (log 10 cfu/g)] while improving the sensory quality of the products. Addition of C. wightii increased (p < .05) the thickness (mm), opacity and moisture content (%) whereas decreased the solubility (%) of the films. The C. wightii based edible film significantly (p < .05) improved the lipid oxidative and microbial stability of the model meat product during refrigerated storage. The present results suggest that C. wightii based edible film can be used commercially in the meat industry for improving the storage quality of the meat products. | INTRODUCTIONCommiphora wightii is a safe medicinal plant with several pharmaceutical and therapeutic applications and is used for cholesterol reduction, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (Saini, Rajput, Rathore, & Tomar, 2018).

“…20 More recently, improved nondestructive harvesting techniques have been developed with parameters regarding cut size, technique, and use of enhancing compounds. 21 Gum guggul production, as measured by the forest department of Kachchh, India, showed a decline in harvesting from the 1960s, when up to 30 tons were collected, and 1999, when only 2.42 tons were collected. 22 GGE has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, having been first described in Atharva Veda, circa 2000 BC.…”

Drought resistance and gum yield performances in a Senegalia senegal (L.) Britton progeny trial in Senegal

With continued global change as a result of land use changes, invasive species and changing climatic patterns, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the adaptability of Senegalia senegal provenances to maximize resilience in managed and natural populations of this species. The objective of this study is to investigate Senegalia senegal genotypic differences in water use efficiency (WUE) measured by stable 13C isotope composition in foliage according to their ploidy levels. Secondary objectives are to discuss inherent adaptive variation related to soil pH, survival, growth indexes, gum arabic yield and WUE within provenance in the climate change context. A Senegalia senegal progeny trial, in Dahra, Senegal was used in this study: 443 adult trees consisting of 60 families nested within 4 provenances were assessed in this study. Results showed significant differences in gum yield among provenances (P = 0.0002) and families (P < 0.0001). Diamenar and Ngane provenances showed overall similar annual gum yield despite a lower tree survival rate of Ngane than Diamenar. Growth traits, especially stem volume index and crown area index were larger on Ngane provenance, which also displayed significantly higher foliar WUE and lower leaf area index (LAI) than the other provenances. WUE was positively correlated with gum yield (P = 0.0302), but the coefficient of determination was only 2%. Foliar δ13C varied significantly (P < 0.0001) between diploids (− 27.91‰) and polyploids (− 27.12‰). However, within each provenance no significant difference was found. Only 15% of isotope compositions could be explained by ploidy level variation. Differences found in growth and gum yield may be attributed to genotype-specific variation. However, a significant correlation between soil pH and tree survival rate was found (P = 0.0051; r = 0.60). This study confirmed a possible improvement of the gum arabic sector through genotype based selection. Ngane and Diamenar seem to be more profitable to grow in Dahra than the other tested provenances. Future research should investigate the effect of soil pH, other soil physical and chemical properties, and management activities to improve site quality on tree survival and gum yields among provenances. Further, more research is needed to clarify inherent traits underlying drought tolerance in the field and gum yield performance.
