In recent years, great interest has been devoted to the development of new applications for natural gums. These molecules were used for a variety of purposes since they are chemically inert, non-toxic, less expensive, biodegradable and widely available. They represent one of the most abundant raw materials used not only in commercial food products, but also in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Plant gums take their advantages compared to other gums (e.g., from animal and microbial sources) mainly because of their acceptance by consumers. Despite of the well description given in literature for the features of plant gum exudates, there is a lack distinguishing the different families that are producing gums, and their potential applications. Among these gums, the ones produced by Rosaceae family (e.g., almond, apricot, cherry, peach, and plum plants) have been taking special attention. Thus, the aim of this review is to report the recent advances in Rosaceae gum exudates. An emphasis is given for the formation mechanisms of these gums, their chemical composition, functional properties and structures, beneficial properties, as well as their food/non-food applications.
近年来，人们对天然胶的新应用开发产生了浓厚兴趣。这些分子因其化学惰性、无毒、成本较低、可生物降解且来源广泛，被用于多种用途。它们是不仅用于商业食品，还用于化妆品和药品的最丰富的原材料之一。与其他胶（如来自动物和微生物来源的胶）相比，植物胶具有优势，主要是因为消费者对其接受度高。尽管文献中对植物胶渗出物的特性有详细描述，但仍缺乏对产生胶的不同科及其潜在应用的区分。在这些胶中，蔷薇科植物（如杏仁、杏、樱桃、桃和李属植物）产生的胶受到了特别关注。因此，本综述的目的是报告蔷薇科胶渗出物的最新进展。重点介绍了这些胶的形成机制、化学成分、功能特性和结构、有益特性以及它们在食品/非食品领域的应用。
