A study reports on gum arabic for the development of nanosheets with remarkable photothermal absorption capacity for enhanced anti-breast cancer drug delivery. Venkatesan 2023
A study proposes the use of gum arabic in combination with silk fibroin and lysozyme as components of microparticles for periodontal regeneration. Ruggeri 2023
A study investigated the antimicrobial potential of a toothpaste formulated with gum arabic silver nanoparticles. Ahmed 2023
Optimal conditions for the encapsulation of olive leaf extract included combining arabic gum and maltodextrin at 3.7:6.3 ratio as the wall material. Toprakçı 2023
Investigation of different concentrations of gum arabic as a drug carrier for curcumin found 10% to be the best feasible concentration, combining properties of excellent encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, and antioxidant activity. Hudiyanti 2022
Conjugates of β-lactoglobulin and Acacia seyal gum obtained as Maillard reaction products by dry-heating at 60 °C and relative humidity of 79% improved the stability of gum A. seyal-stabilized emulsions and their resistance against low pH and high saline conditions. Bi 2016
High pressure and pH treatmens modified the emulsification properties of gum arabic, depending on its content of acidic amino acids and the "branched" nature of the polysaccharide. Ma 2015
High-pressure (800 MPa) and chemical reduction treatments modified the emulsification properties of both types of gum arabic, KLTA and GCA, obtained from Acacia senegal and A. seyal, respectively. Ma 2015
Gum arabic was utilized for the microencapsulation of monoterpenes, with capsules containing beta-pinene and citral exhibiting the greatest stability. Bertolini 2001
