Binocular Function in Different Gaze Positions.

Purpose: To evaluate varied aspects of binocular function in multiple gaze positions.

Methods: In 2018, this cross-sectional study was conducted on 21 participants (male = 11) with an age range of 19-25 years. Having emmetropia and 10/10 visual acuity in both eyes were conditions of the inclusion criteria for the cross-sectional study.

Gum tragacanth dispersions: Particle size and rheological properties affected by high-shear homogenization.

The effect of high-shear homogenization on the rheological and particle size characteristics of three species of gum tragacanth (GT) was detected. Dispersions were subjected to 0-20 min treatment. Static light scattering techniques and rheological tests were used to study the effect of treatment.

A comparative study on the emulsifying properties of various species of gum tragacanth.

Emulsification activities of three different species of gum tragacanth containing Astragalus gossypinus, A. compactus and A. rahensis were investigated.

Applying Iranian Gum Tragacanth to Improve Textural Properties of Maltodextrin Microcapsules.

The effects of adding one of the species of Iranian gum tragacanth, Astragalus compactus, to maltodextrin solutions used for microencapsulation of 2-methylbutyl acetate (water-soluble flavoring compound of strawberry) were studied. Initial emulsions were evaluated regarding rheological behavior and particle size distribution. The resulted microcapsules were also analyzed for particle size distributions, glass transition temperature T , the morphology of the capsules and the rate of release from them.
