A team of researchers at the University of Huddersfield, UK, has investigated the potential of okra for emulsification of certain food products using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.1 Okra is a flowering plant and originates from Africa. Okra pectins are acidic, random coil polysaccharides composed of galactose, rhamnose, and galacturonic acid. Pectins are used in the food industry for their gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties. Okra pectins differ quite substantially from those extracted from apple, citrus, and beet in terms of protein and acetyl contents, indicating their greater hydrophobicity and suggesting that pectin derived from okra can be used as an effective emulsifying agent.

Extracts rich in pectins were isolated by aqueous extraction from okra pods. Extracted polysaccharides were assessed using SEC and FTIR spectroscopy. Lead author of the study, Katerina Alba, told The Column: SEC was performed in order to obtain information with regards to molecular dimensions of isolated pectins. This data contributed to further understanding of the effect of extraction conditions on the physiochemical characteristics of okra polysaccharides, and consequently their potential to act as emulsifying agents.

The two extracts, OE6 and OE4, both showed good emulsification but differed greatly in terms of their efficiency towards long-term stabilization against coarsening. OE6 emulsions were stable; OE4 were more susceptible to coarsening, which resulted in droplets of greater than average size. The increased stability of the OE6 emulsions was attributed to the higher protein load of the interfaces, resulting in increased rigidity; viscosity was also two times greater than OE4.

Katerina detailed how beneficial this research could be for the food industry and for consumers. She said: Recently, the nutritional and functional properties of okra pods have re-awakened interest to research its potential uses. There were several studies that have revealed the antioxidant activity of okra flour, whereas okra seeds are also considered as [a] high-protein oilseed crop and can be used as a complement to other pectin sources. Physiological studies have demonstrated hypoglycemic

properties of okra polysaccharides, suggesting their potential use as functional food ingredients. However, the structural analysis and potential of okra isolates to act as a food hydrocolloid in model food matrices have not been reported yet.

The team concluded that okra extracts are good candidates for emulsification in acidic environments. Katerina concluded: Future research will involve the evaluation of gelation properties of polysaccharides extracted from okra pods and further exploration of its potential in drug delivery systems.

NIce article on nutrition Veer ji... but I guess it doesn't prevent Guru ji di beadbhi by moorakh log

you should request for maharaj pdfs/downloads to be deleted off the internet full stop lol. the whole vast internet is full of gandh such as porn. its in the same cyber space.

i have always wondered about that,

i have always wondered about that,

Maybe it is better to make bani only webservers which have to be subscribed to ...

If you guys really feel this hardcore about Bani being on the same servers as anti Sikhi stuff, and Bani on laptops with songs etc.... I challenge you to get rid of your TV at home because I'm sure you have a Gutka sahib at home. Don't talk the talk...walk the walk. Get rid of your TVs..there's so much garbage on it, how dare you have it in the same home as a Gutka sahib. But... I'm pretty sure you'll find an excuse about how it's ok. Haha.. Hilarious.

We can try our utmost to respect bani, nothing wrong in that. My point was if we feel that our web content is stored in locations or by people who may not safeguard it from hacking , malicious altering, or serve people who have nefarious content, then make our own ...

what's 'anti-sikh' ? if you mean stuff that increase panj chor sure I agree we should avoid contact mentally with that stuff. It's not a big deal to have dedicated pendrives, mp3players for bani in the home. I don't keep my gutkey mixed in with my worldy gian books, they are kept seperate, above head height,with covers, always have .

@akal warrior i dont have TV in my room and pothi sahibs are in my room, its been many years even before i was blessed with amrit, i have stopped watching it .

for this reason my room's door is closed so that if anyone else is watching, that sound cant come in .

OK...so since you close your room door so no sound can come in...then I guess this same logic can apply to a computer. if a computer has a file with Bani on it...simply don't open other files at the same time! What's the difference between closing your room door and closing all other files on your computer when you are going to read Bani? Think about it bro. Use your logic. You said you close your room door when others are watching TV etc... So why not just close other files while reading Bani? Why do you feel the need to delete files off of other people's laptops when you are basically doing the same thing?

Veer ji

but if the PC had gandh in terms of file contents on it and the person used those files then are you saying that it is permissible/ to use gurbani in same PC just so long as you shut the gandh up at the time?

would you have peeps behave as massa ranghar one minute then shut that down and next minute start gurbani paat in same arena i.e. on the pc; surely it would be better to say don't do it ever if you can and try not to use any machine which you use to listen read gurbani on? Just wondering.
