Extarction and charcterization of mucilage from Irvingia gabonensis seeds
View through CrossRef
This study focuses on the extraction and characterization of mucilage from Irvingia gabonensis seeds and its potential uses. The extraction process was carried out using water and the mucilage was characterized using various physicochemical and rheological parameters. All confirmatory tests for mucilage carried out (Molisch, iodine and ruthenium red test) were positive. The outcomes demonstrated that the mucilage had a yield of 52.6 %, a swelling capacity of 88.65 %, hydration capacity of 1.78 and a viscosity of 1.1805 mPa S. This study highlights the importance of utilizing natural resources for sustainable development and provides insights for further research on the potential uses of mucilage from other plant sources.
