<p>The invention concerns fenugreek mucilages in the form of flour with grain size distribution less than 100 νm, consisting of 60 wt.% of oses, relative to the composition total weight, namely mannose, galactose, glucose, arabinose, xylose, rhamnose, D-galacturonic acid, 50-55 wt.% of oses consisting of galactomannans, and 5 wt.% of proteins. The invention also concerns galactomannans consisting exclusively as oses, of mannose and galactose, with a mannose/galactose ratio of 1, 1.2, and intrinsic viscosity higher than 10 dl.g-1, in particular 10 to 12 dl.g-1, the degree of polymerisation ranging between 4900 and 6500 and the average molecular mass Mv between 1.4.106 and 2.106 daltons. The invention is applicable to food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry.</p> |
