Vinal gum, a galactomannan from Prosopis ruscifolia seeds: Physicochemical characterization

Physico-chemical and rheological characterization of the gum extracted from the endosperm of vinal (Prosopis ruscifolia) seeds was performed. The CG-MS analysis revealed that vinal gum is a galactomannan with a mannose/galactose ratio of 1.6, with traces of arabinose and glucose residues. The struct...
