ABSTRACT

Many tropical gums exis t whose properties are similar t o those of

the cellulose derivative imported From western countries. In t h i s study,

two tropical gums were extracted from Prosopis afr icana and Mncma

flagillepes seeds and were studied for bioadhevive properties. Adhesion to

porcine in tes t ina l mucin and t o glavs beads were studied. The strength of

the films formulated from the gums were determined by w l i c a t i o n of

torque m d recording the force a t brea kpc~int. The surface properties of

the films were studied by microscopy.

Three methods were used t o evaluate the bioadhesive properties of

the gum. Fi lm coated glass beads were analyzed for the bioadhesion

properties using normal saline as detaching f luid. The film coated glass

rod was also used for the evaluation by determing the maximum force for

separating the film coated glass rod from mucin gel using spring balance.

Lastly l iquid gum bioadhesive force was determined too by use of Haake

rota visco as speed factor of 27 and shew r a t e of 156. Factors that

influence bioadhesive force were studied too and these were concentration,

glass bead s ize , pt?, contact time and coat size.

The resul-ts indicated tha t prosoyis gum had bioiirfiesive properties

comp;irable with those of eod1.1~1 car-boxy methly cellulose. The gum from

M~crma flwillense has less bioadhesive properties. Based on the resul t s

obtained from the adhesive studies on glass beach and hog in tes t ina l

mucin, adhesive values of 1,2 and 4 were assigned t o prosopis g m , sodium

carboxy methyl cellulose and mucin gum respectively. When studied for

elongation and break point, the most e l a s t i c of the gums was prosopis ,gum,

followed by sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, while mucuna gums was the

least e las t ic . On microscopy, prosopis gum and sodium carboxy methyl

cellulose formed formed films of equal consistency, tha t is with gores.

When bioadhesive properties of gum evaluated through three methods

where compared, three different values where obtained, The bioadhesive

force of the l iquid is the greatest l . The bioadhesive force of l iquid

prosopis is as high as 2805 dynes- The bioadhesive properties of the gums

was affected by coat s ize , contact t i m e , concentration and glass bead

size. The pH affected only the bioadhesive force of scmc and its optimum

pH for maximum bioadhesive force is 5.5. A large coat s ize of the films

resulted i n increased bioadhesive force for a l l the films. The optirmun

time for high bioadhesive force of prosopis and mucuna film is 20 mins.

while tha t of scmc is 30 mins. The bioadhesive concentration of prosopis,

mucuna and scmc were 2.5%, 10% and 5% respectively. Smdl s izes of coated

glass beads adhered bet ter than the bigger sizes. From the above

resul t s , it can be s tated tha t prosopis and mucuna gums can be used as

bioadhesive material-
