The seed flour of an African leguminous plant, Detarium senegalense Gmelin, is used traditionally in Nigeria as a thickening agent in foods. Recent studies have shown that the detarium seed contains a large amount of water-soluble, non-starch polysaccharide (s-NSP), which suggests it has important
The effects of two vegetable flours, prepared from the African plants Detarium senegalense Gmelin, a legume, and Cissus rotundifolia, a shrub, on postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations in human subjects, were investigated. Chemical analysis indicated that these flours contained
To improve the solubilization of two water-soluble xyloglucans, tamarind seed polysaccharide and detarium gum, by reducing substantially molecular aggregation, a "pressure cell" heating method was used. Conditions allowing solubilization and chain depolymerization were produced by varying
Incorporation of Detarium Microcarpum (Dm) and Mucuna flagellipes (Mf) water soluble polysaccharides (gums) at 0.0 to 0.5% levels in wheat flour was studied to evaluate their effect on the rheological properties of wheat flour dough and white bread quality. At all levels of incorporation, there were
Raw beef burgers containing graded levels (0.25, 0.5, 0.75. and 1.0%) of polysaccharide gums extracted from Detarium microcarpum (DM) and Mucuna flagellipes (MF) were produced. Unstabilized beef burgers and beef burgers containing gum tragacanth (TR) were also produced simultaneously to serve as
