This study was to investigate the rheological properties of graded Prunus persica exudates (peach gums). Graded peach gums were extracted by hot water and precipitated by ethanol to obtain white peach gum polysaccharide (WPGP) and yellow peach gum polysaccharide (YPGP). Chemical analysis showed that YPGP had 0.11% proteins and 0.23% polyphenols, which were not detected in WPGP. Molecular weight of WPGP and YPGP were determined as 6.09 × 10 kDa and 5.82 × 10 kDa, respectively, by using HPGPC. Monosaccharide analysis revealed that WPGP and YPGP were mainly composed of arabinose and galactose in an approximate molar ratio of 2: 1. These results suggested that WPGP and YPGP might have the same polysaccharide composition. Rheological analysis revealed that peach gum aqueous solutions (10% w/w) exhibited the non-Newtonian shear-thinning behavior and gel structure. Apparent viscosity and viscoelasticity of peach gums were slightly decreased in alkaline solution (pH = 11), high temperature (40 °C) and the presence of salt ions. YPGP solution possessed higher viscosity and storage modulus than WPGP solution at all the tested conditions, which suggested that conjugates of proteins and polyphenols might be involved in the gel network of YPGP solution, resulting in an increase in apparent viscosity.

Article Synopsis
- Two polysaccharides, PGP-90 and PGP-100, were extracted from Peach gum using alkaline electrolyte water and characterized as AG-II arabinogalactans with specific branching structures.
- Animal studies showed that both polysaccharides enhanced immune function, increased lymphocyte proliferation, improved macrophage activity, and altered lymphocyte subpopulations in tumor-bearing mice.
- PGP-90 and PGP-100 also promoted cytokine secretion and reduced tumor growth, with PGP-100 showing greater anti-tumor effects, indicating potential as functional anti-tumor agents.

Solar-powered interfacial evaporation is a developing and sustainable technique increasingly utilized in desalination and wastewater purification. This technology involves the creation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/polylactic acid (PLA) composite aerogels through the Pickering emulsion approach. Self-floating aero-hydrogel (E-VGP) with a hierarchical porous structure was formed on a viscous mixture containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), peach gum polysaccharide (PGP), and polypyrrole (PPy) via an in-situ polymerization process.

This study was conducted to formulate a conjugate of soy protein isolate (SPI) and peach gum (PG) with improved functional properties, interacting at mass ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:1, and 2:3 by Maillard reaction via wet heating method. Conjugation efficiency was confirmed by grafting degree (DG) and browning index (BI). Results indicated that DG increased with increasing concentration of PG, and decreased with increasing pH, whereas no remarkable change was observed with increasing reaction time.

The introduction of flame retardancy and low-temperature self-healing capacities in hydrogel electrolytes are crucial for promoting the cycle stability and durability of the flexible supercapacitors in extreme environments. Herein, biomass-based dual-network hydrogel electrolyte (named PSBGL), was synthesized with borax crosslinked peach gum polysaccharide/sisal nanofibers composite, and its application in flexible supercapacitors was also investigated in detail. The dynamic cross-linking of the dual-network endows the PSBGL with excellent self-healing performance, enabling ultrafast self-healing within seconds at both room temperature and extreme low temperatures.
