Seed galactomannans are vegetable, heterogeneous polysaccharides widely distributed in
nature. Generally, they possess (1→ 4)‐linked d‐mannopyranose (Man) main chains to …

Locust bean gum (LBG), a vegetable galactomannan extracted from carob tree seeds, is
extensively used in the food industry as a thickening agent (E410). Its molecular …

Oat β-glucans were extracted (water at 47° C) from milled seeds of two Greek cultivars (A.
sativa cv. Pallini and A. bysantina cv. Kassandra) and partially purified by pH adjustment of …

The effects of molecular size on rheological properties of highly pure oat β-glucans in
solution and gel state were studied. The fine structure of the β-glucan preparations was …

This article has been developed with the aim of reviewing the different sources, structure,
extraction, composition, properties and health benefits of plant gums. Gums are known for …

The rheological behaviour of aqueous galactomannan—tara gum (TG) and locust bean gum
(LBG)—solutions was studied at 25° C, using steady-shear and dynamic oscillatory …

The effects of fine structure and molecular size on the rheological properties of six mixed-
linkage (1→ 3),(1→ 4)-β-d-glucans (β-glucans) in the solution and gel state were studied …

Polysaccharides have been finding, in the last decades, very interesting and useful

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is well known for its valuable locust bean gum obtained from the
carob seeds. Separation of seeds from the pod leaves behind the carob kibble which is a …
