Physico-chemical and Rheological Properties of Karaya Gum (Sterculia urens Roxb.) (original) (raw)

2019, International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences

AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the physico-chemical and rheological properties of Karaya gum (Sterculia urens Roxb.), emphasizing its moisture content, bulk density, true density, tap density, bulkiness, porosity, Hausner's ratio, Carr's compressibility index, angle of repose, and coefficient of friction on various surfaces. The research reveals that Karaya gum possesses significant commercial value in diverse industries, particularly in textiles, cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals, highlighting its importance as a non-timber forest product in India.
