The hydrocolloid extracted from Plantago major seed: Effects on emulsifying and foaming properties

Barhang ( Plantago major L.) seed gum: Ultrasound‐assisted extraction optimization, characterization, and biological activities

“…Hydrocolloids are biopolymers with high molecular weight and they are mostly used as thickening, gelling agent, coating agent, texture modifiers, stabilizers, emulsifier, antistaling agent, dietary fiber, and fat replacer (Lie & Nie, 2015; Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Rezagholi, 2019). Because of increasing request for hydrocolloids with specific practicality in food industry, introducing new hydrocolloid source is an important field of study in agriculture and food chemistry.…”

“…Plantago major L. ( Barhang ) is organized in the Plantaginaceae family and this plant is extensively distributed all over the world (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Rezagholi, 2019). Plantago major seeds mainly used for wound curing purposes besides as an anti‐inflammatory, an anti‐infective, and antioxidant agent (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Rezagholi, 2018).…”

A new source of galactomannan isolated from Gleditsia caspica (Persian honey locust) seeds: Extraction and comprehensive characterization

“…Cerqueira et al, 2010), and lower than delineated values for Plantago major seed gum (45.66 ± 1.03) (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, et al, 2020;Niknam, Mousavi, et al, 2020) and polysaccharide obtained from Echinacea purpurea L. (22.30 ± 1.00) (Lee et al, 2010). It must be noted that, for the extraction of galactomannan, many purification steps are performed that can affect the amount of phenolic compounds of obtained hydrocolloid, and this may be one of the reasons for the considerable difference in the amount of phenolic compounds in seeds and the galactomannan extracted from them (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Adun, 2019;Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Hamishehkar, 2019;Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Rezagholi, 2019).…”

“…The TFC of the galactomannan obtained from Gleditsia caspica seeds was 11.25 ± 0.04 mg quercetin/g dry sample which was higher than values delineated for some types of hydrocolloids including polysaccharide obtained from carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) seeds (0.30 ± 0.02) (Fidan et al, 2020) and galactomannan obtained from Gleditsia triacanthos (8.25-10.75) (Cerqueira et al, 2010), and lower than delineated values for Plantago major seed gum (61.25 ± 1.96) (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, et al, 2020;Niknam, Mousavi, et al, 2020) and polysaccharide obtained from Echinacea purpurea L. (86.10 ± 4.60) (Lee et al, 2010). It must be noted that for the extraction of galactomannan, many purification steps are performed that can affect the amount of flavonoids of extracted hydrocolloid, and this may be one of the reasons for the considerable difference in the amount of flavonoids in seeds and the galactomannan obtained from them (Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Adun, 2019;Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Hamishehkar, 2019;Niknam, Ghanbarzadeh, Ayaseh, & Rezagholi, 2019).…”

Plantago media L.—Explored and Potential Applications of an Underutilized Plant

“…P. lanceolata extracts were proposed for the development of natural cosmetics (due to their UV protecting activity, as well as skin regeneration stimulation) [ 99 ], while the gum isolated from P. major seeds proved to have emulsifying and foaming properties, which supports the use of the fraction as an alternative hydrocolloid for emulsion and foam-based foods [ 100 ]. Related to the food industry, P. major mucilage (extracted either by hot-water extraction or ultrasound assisted extraction) was used for the development edible and biodegradable films [ 101 , 102 ].…”
