The present invention provides a transparent Xyloglucan/Chitosan gel and a process to prepare the same which comprises of extracting the xyloglucan from tamarind seed powder by a suitable solvent at a high temperature and precipitating the xyloglucan by alcohol and then modifying the xyloglucan to form dialdehyde and making a co-polymer with chitosan to form a thermo stable crystal clear, colourless gel which is stable at temperature - 20 to 90. A transparent chitam gel and a process for the preparation thereof C and pH 3-7, having an average molecular weight of 4730 KDa and a viscosity of 4100 centi Poises at 28 ±2 °C, not digested by digestive enzymes in humans and does not contribute to calorie intake can be used as a food ingredient, and supplement functional foods (nutritional care). This Xyloglucan/Chitosan gel has applications in the area of cosmetic and personal care products, as an ultraviolet protective agent or as a tissue adhesive which can be used, including haemostasis, wound sealing, tissue engineering or localised drug delivery as capsules & tablets. |
