ISOLATION, PURIFICATION, EVALUATION AND TOXICITY STUDIES OF NATURAL EDIBLE MUCOADHESIVE POLYMERS FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF PLANTS AND COMPARED WITH SYNTHETIC MUCOADHESIVE POLYMERS
Mucilages of plant origin have been used widely as demulcent because of their unique properties to bind with the mucous membrane. Isolation of water-soluble components from the natural edible sources was carried out by cold/hot aqueous extraction process followed by the organic solvent precipitation. The yield of Pithecellobium dulce (PD), Prosopis juliflora (PJ), Acacia arabica (AA) and Abelmosch...
