The present invention relates to a process for the production of xyloglucan by extracting xyloglucan from a tamarind seed powder with a transparent xyloglucan / chitosan gel and a suitable solvent at a high temperature and precipitating the xyloglucan with an alcohol, Forming a dialdehyde and forming a copolymer with chitosan to form a clear, heat stable clear transparent, colorless gel at -20 to < RTI ID = 0.0 > 90 C < / RTI > The transparent kitam gel has a molecular weight of 4730 KDa and a viscosity of 4100 centipoise at 28 ± 2 ° C. It has a viscosity of not more than 40,000 centipoise, which is not digested by human digestive enzymes but contributes to caloric intake, . The xyloglucan / chitosan gels can be applied in the field of cosmetics and personal care products as ultraviolet protectants or as tissue adhesives that can be used including hemostasis, wound healing, tissue function, or as local drug delivery such as capsules and tablets. |
