MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH This is fun demonstration can be used to show how substances with similar chemical attributes interact with one another. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Chew on this… “Natural” chewing gum is a combination of flavoring (such as sugar and natural flavors) and a gum base. The common natural gum base used was chicle, a tree sap obtained from several trees of the Manilkara genus (specifically the Sapodilla tree). The chicle is effectively a natural rubber polymer, like latex. Choco-yum! The primary component of chocolate is cocoa butter, a fat made of up of many different triglycerides. These long alkyl chains are also polymers in nature. Let’s explore what happens when you combine two substances with similar polymer properties. MATERIALS NEEDED: Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Kisses (or any other “true” chocolate with cocoa butter) Chicle gum (Glee Gum is a great option – can be obtained online or at specialty retailers (http://www.gleegum.com) WHAT TO DO: Unwrap a piece of gum and chew for a short time. You should be able to manipulate the gum easily in your mouth Unwrap the piece of chocolate and mix it with the gum in your mouth. “Embed” the gum in the chocolate, wrap the chocolate around the gum. Spend time sucking on the gum/chocolate mixture. What do you notice about the gum and/or chocolate as they mix? Describe what you think is happening. OPEN EXPLORATIONS: Why do you think it is important to use natural gum instead of the more readily available options? Test with normal gum and record the differences. Try with various chocolates. Do you get the same results if you don’t mix them right away? This is a fun and safe demo that allows you to explore the topic of “like dissolving like”. This exploration is adapted from FLINN Scientific’s “Melt in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hand” activity. .

Recently Investigated Natural Gums and Mucilages As Pharmaceutical Excipients: an Overview

CHM Campus, Opp. Ulhasnagar Railway Station, Ulhasnagar, Maharashtra 421003, India Correspondence should be addressed to Harshal Ashok Pawar; [email protected] Received 21 December 2013; Revised 5 March 2014; Accepted 10 March 2014; Published 7 April 2014 Academic Editor: Giuseppina De Simone Copyright © 2014 P.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Due to advances in drug delivery technology, currently, excipients are included in novel dosage forms to fulfil specific functions and in some cases they directly or indirectly influence the extent and/or rate of drug release and drug absorption. Recent trends towards use of plant based and natural products demand the replacement of synthetic additives with natural ones. Today, the whole world is increasingly interested in natural drugs and excipients. These natural materials have many advantages over synthetic ones as they are chemically inert, nontoxic, less expensive, biodegradable, and widely available. This review discusses majority of the plant- derived polymeric compounds (gums and mucilage’s), their sources, chemical constituents, uses, and some recent investigations as excipients in novel drug delivery systems. 1. Introduction to unfavourable conditions, such as drought, by breakdown of cell walls (extra cellular formation: gummosis).

Decco Communication on Shellac Resin
Decco Communication on Shellac Resin 1 BACKGROUND Some supermarkets in Australia have inquired about the quality of shellac resin used as an ingredient in apple wax coatings. Apple packers, who are EE Muir’s customers, have in turn asked EE Muir to provide documentation on the quality of shellac and manufacturing practices used by Decco. Below are a number of documents and explanations that Decco is providing to EE Muir in support of Decco’s quality and manufacturing practices. 2 WHAT IS NATURAL SHELLAC RESIN Shellac is a natural gum resin secreted by the lac beetle (laccifer lacca) which lives on trees in tropical and subtropical regions. The natural gum resin is harvested from the trees and then processed and refined into flakes and powders of pure natural shellac resin. 3 SHELLAC AND ITS USES Natural shellac resin has unique properties and is used in various applications such as: Fruit coatings, Confectionery (Candy & Chocolates coating), Pharmaceutical (Tablets coatings) as well as several non- food segments. Shellac is used as a 'wax' coating on citrus fruit to prolong its shelf/storage life. It is also used to replace the natural wax of the apple, which is removed during the cleaning & washing process. In these applications, the wax coating prevents moisture loss (shrinking, shriveling of the fruit) and preserves the textural and eating quality of the fruit. When used for this purpose, it has the food additive E number E904 which is recognized and adopted worldwide. Shellac is also used as a glazing agent on pills, food, chocolate & candies, in the form of pharmaceutical glaze or, confectioner's glaze.
