Pharmacopœia of India the supply of 130 pounds weight of the drug, which, if manu- factured from mango seed, would cost about eight annas a pound; being Us. 65, instead of Rs. 800, for the year's requirements. "We venture to indulge the hope that another septennial period will not pass away without oar seeing the establishment of large chemical laboratories in each Presidency?not mere repositories for the reception and distribution of imported drugs, or for the manufacture of a few tinctures, but pharmaceutical work-shops on an extended scale, with highly qualified practical English chemists attached to them?men who would analyse and test the products of the country ; and make preparations, of what was valuable, in the most efficient way. Such laboratories would be invaluable for our students, who should be required to study in them for at least six months, prior to passing their final examination. Distributed as they eventually are?as sub- assistant surgeons?throughout India, and placed in charge of dispensaries, they are established in the very position of all others most favorable to assist in the development of indigenous medical resources. Government might well initiate such a system, leaving it for completion, as they have done tea cultivation, to the enter- prise of companies or of individuals. Information is solicited, meanwhile, on the subject of each indigenous product .referred to in the two following lists. LIST (No. 1.) PRINCIPAL MEDICINAL PLANTS, &c., OF INDIA. By EDWARD J.

  • Gum Arabic: More Than an Edible Emulsifier
    1 Gum Arabic: More Than an Edible Emulsifier Mariana A. Montenegro1, María L. Boiero1, Lorena Valle2 and Claudio D. Borsarelli2 1Departamento de Química, Universidad Tecnológica Nacional- Facultad Regional Villa María, Córdoba 2Laboratorio de Cinética y Fotoquímica, Instituto de Química del Noroeste Argentino (INQUINOA-CONICET) Universidad Nacional de Santiago del Estero, Santiago del Estero Argentina 1. Introduction Gum Arabic (GA) or Acacia gum is an edible biopolymer obtained as exudates of mature trees of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal which grow principally in the African region of Sahe in Sudan. The exudate is a non-viscous liquid, rich in soluble fibers, and its emanation from the stems and branches usually occurs under stress conditions such as drought, poor soil fertility, and injury (Williams & Phillips, 2000). The use of GA dates back to the second millennium BC when the Egyptians used it as an adhesive and ink. Throughout the time, GA found its way to Europe and it started to be called "gum arabic" because was exported from Arabian ports. Chemically, GA is a complex mixture of macromolecules of different size and composition (mainly carbohydrates and proteins). Today, the properties and features of GA have been widely explored and developed and it is being used in a wide range of industrial sectors such as textiles, ceramics, lithography, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, encapsulation, food, etc. Regarding food industry, it is used as a stabilizer, a thickener and/or an emulsifier agent (e.g., soft drink syrup, gummy candies and creams) (Verbeken et al., 2003). In the pharmaceutical industry, GA is used in pharmaceutical preparations and as a carrier of drugs since it is considered a physiologically harmless substance.

  • Gum Arabic for Food Application
    Gum Arabic for Food Application Dairy products Gum Arabic is added to milk and milk products to produce the desired dish or beverage. This includes applications where Gum Arabic is used to suspend the ingredients and impart richness and body to the drink. In this field Gum Arabic is used as an excellent binder of water and as stabilizer. It is applied in the production of ice cream, liquid milk products, sherbets and other products. The addition of Gum Arabic prevents the formation of ice crystals by combining with large quantities of water. The proper amount of milk or cream is mixed with Gum Arabic, then the mixture is heated mildly, poured into molds, cooled and packed. Confectionery products Gum Arabic functions in confections as an emulsifier, sugar crystallization control agent, bulking agent, and film former. In caramels and toffee products, Gum Arabic is emulsification properties aid in the reduction of fat droplet size distribution thus providing stability to the product. It is the recognized preferred natural ingredient for the production of high quality and reduced calories soft candies. Moreover it is an excellent flavor carrier and is used by formulations for the imparting of a clean, long-lasting fresh taste. Gum Arabic is used to emulsify the flavor oils or fats in confections or to retard crystallization in high sucrose confections. Bakery products Gum Arabic is widely used for glossy coatings, sealing of baked goods and effecting binding. Even small quantities of Gum Arabic added to the dough increase the yield, give greater resiliency, improve texture and give longer shelf life.

Accepted 22 February, 2016 In Nigeria, antibiotics are administered in poultry drinking water for prevention or control of bacterial contamination and to promote growth performance and health of birds. However, these antibiotics have negative effects and this has led to the search for safe and natural alternatives (like photogenic plants products and medicinal mushrooms) to reduce the continuous use of antibiotics in poultry to promote health and nutrition. In this study, the effect of oral administration of different levels of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera seed, Gum arabic and wild mushroom (Ganoderma sp) and their combination on performance characteristics of broiler chickens were evaluated in comparison with antibiotic. Commercial hybrid (Marshal) broiler chicks were procured at day-old from a hatchery in Nigeria and brooded together for the first one week of age to acclimatise. On day 7, the birds were randomly distributed into different treatment groups, T1 - T8 (10 chicks per group) in duplicates. Group T1 = represent broiler chicks administered orally with Moringa seed aqueous extract, T2 = Gum arabic, T3 = wild Ganoderma, T4 = Moringa seed + Gum arabic, T5 = Moringa seed + wild Ganoderma, T6 = Gum arabic + wild Ganoderma, T7 = Moringa seed + Gum arabic + wild Ganoderma, T8 = antibiotic only as control for comparison.
