Development and characterization of modified gums (some plant sources)

Natural gums, that means gum which is obtained from natural sources such as plants. Natural gums are polysaccharides (carbohydrates) consisting of multiple sugar units linked together to create large molecules. Gums can be grouped into three major categories namely natural gums, modified gums and synthetic gums. Natural gum is better alternative to synthetic polymer or viscosity modifier used in designing of different formulation but some physiochemical characteristics, stability and chance of microbial growth restricted the use of natural gum. Chemical modification improve the characteristics of natural gum and produce semisynthetic derivative which better alternative option with respect to synthetic agents. So natural gum are tamarind gum, fenugreek gum, linseed gum was extracted from tamarind seed, fenugreek seed, and linseed. These gums were modified by using crosslinking agent TPP after extraction, modification result to change in properties of it like viscosity, pH, sedimentation volume and degree of flocculation etc. On the basis of obtained result it was found that as a result of chemical modification viscosity of all modified gums (modified tamarind gum, modified linseed gum, modified fenugreek gum) has increased as compare to natural gums(tamarind gum, fenugreek gum, linseed gum), but the viscosity of tamarind gum significantly increased. In this study we have concluded that the tamarind to modified tamarind seed gum shown significant changes in their properties remembering were not shown significant change, so crosslinking agent was found suitable for tamarind to modified tamarind seed gum. From these results are concluded that TPP was found suitable crosslinking agent. But this is not suitable for modification of fenugreek seed gum and linseed gum. So there are further scope available to think about the other crosslinking agent for modification of fenugreek seed gum and linseed gum.
