摘要: Only little research is currently underway on gums from African plants, yet Africa imports a lot of for pharmaceutical and food industries. This study was aimed to investigate the rheological properties, moisture ash contents isolated gum resins Dichrostachys cinerea . The this plant exhibited low shear stress even at high concentrations gum. content obtained 15.8 ± 0.3%, which rather too would only be suitable formulations that need remain moisturized. had (2.59 0.01%). D. concentrations, while profoundly affected by addition ions. In conclusion, has potential as product cosmetic, Further studies are needed identify phytoconstituents in well toxicity studies.
