Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graceum) is extensively cultivated in several Asian nations. The leaves and seeds of this plant are well recognized for their potential against diabetes, some cancers and imparting immunity. They are often employed as adhesives and emulsifying agents. Polysaccharides can be found in abundance in fenugreek seeds. Galactomannan, a water-soluble polysaccharide, efficiently reduces the surface tension and increases the viscosity of liquids.   Materials and Methods: In this study, a simple method for extracting as well as purifying galactomannan was developed. It was produced from fenugreek plant's seeds and purified by centrifugation and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) spirit precipitation methods.   Results: The presence of carbohydrates by Molisch test and an absence of reducing sugar by Fehling’s test was revealed. The pH of the purified galactomannan was 6.37, and its foaming capability was 14.28 %. The Galactomannan gum was found to possess 81 % emulsifying capacity. It revealed that the capacity to hold water was 1480% and the ability to hold oil was 268%.   Conclusion: In contrast to guar gum as well as the locust bean gum which are employed in various industries as thickeners, emulsifiers and stabilizers, galactomannan, produced in this study, is an effective and affordable method of stabilizing and emulsifying various products.

葫芦巴籽中半乳甘露聚糖的提取纯化及评价
介绍与目的:胡芦巴(Trigonella foenum graceum)在几个亚洲国家被广泛种植。众所周知,这种植物的叶子和种子具有抗糖尿病、某些癌症和增强免疫力的潜力。它们常被用作粘合剂和乳化剂。葫芦巴种子中含有丰富的多糖。半乳甘露聚糖是一种水溶性多糖,能有效地降低表面张力,增加液体的粘度。材料与方法:研究了半乳甘露聚糖的提取纯化方法。以葫芦巴种子为原料,采用离心法和异丙醇(IPA)沉淀法纯化。结果:Molisch试验显示有碳水化合物存在,Fehling试验显示没有还原糖。所得半乳甘露聚糖的pH值为6.37,发泡率为14.28%。半乳甘露聚糖胶具有81%的乳化能力。结果表明,储水能力为1480%,储油能力为268%。结论:与瓜尔胶、刺槐豆胶等在各行业中用作增稠剂、乳化剂和稳定剂相比,本研究制备的半乳甘露聚糖是一种经济有效的稳定乳化各种产品的方法。
