刺槐豆胶 (LBG) 是一种基于多糖的天然聚合物，正在被广泛研究作为各种产品的合适添加剂，包括食品、无麸质配方、药物、纸张、纺织品、油井钻探、化妆品和医疗用途。药物输送工具、包装、电池和催化载体都是生物聚合物材料的热门应用。本综述讨论了 LBG 的可持续食品包装和药物输送应用。鉴于 LBG 多糖作为膳食纤维来源的好处，人们还正在研究它作为许多健康疾病的潜在治疗方法，包括结直肠癌、糖尿病和胃肠道困难。 LBG 多糖的灵活性使其能够与水分子形成氢键，这是生物材料的关键特性，而 LBG 的成膜特性对于食品包装应用至关重要。 LBG 的提取过程对粘度和凝胶形成特性等性能起着重要作用。此外，还存在温度、压力、pH等多种因素。基于LBG的功能复合膜可有效提高保质期以及监测水果、肉类和其他加工食品的新鲜度。基于LBG的水凝胶是优异的药物载体，可用于缓慢且可持续地释放药物中的活性成分。因此，本次综述的主要目的是对LBG多糖的组成、性质、加工、食品包装和药物输送应用等方面的文献进行综合评价。因此，我们研究了 LBG 多糖的化学成分、提取和特性，这些多糖是其在食品包装和药物输送领域的应用基础。版权所有 © 2024 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。

Locust bean gum (LBG), a polysaccharide-based natural polymer, is being widely researched as an appropriate additive for various products, including food, gluten-free formulations, medicines, paper, textiles, oil well drilling, cosmetics, and medical uses. Drug delivery vehicles, packaging, batteries, and catalytic supports are all popular applications for biopolymer-based materials. This review discusses sustainable food packaging and drug delivery applications for LBG. Given the benefits of LBG polysaccharide as a source of dietary fiber, it is also being investigated as a potential treatment for many health disorders, including colorectal cancer, diabetes, and gastrointestinal difficulties. The flexibility of LBG polysaccharide allows it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, a crucial characteristic of biomaterials, and the film-forming properties of LBG are critical for food packaging applications. The extraction process of LBG plays an important role in properties such as viscosity and gel-forming properties. Moreover, there are multiple factors such as temperature, pressure, pH, etc. The LBG-based functional composite film is effective in improving the shelf life as well as monitoring the freshness of fruits, meat and other processed food. The LBG-based hydrogel is excellent carrier of drugs and can be used for slow and sustainable release of active components present in drugs. Thus, the primary goal of this review was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the literature with a focus on the composition, properties, processing, food packaging, and medicine delivery applications of LBG polysaccharides. Thus, we investigated the chemical composition, extraction, and characteristics of LBG polysaccharides that underlie their applications in the food packaging and medicine delivery fields.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
