Over the past few decades, natural gums are extensively investigated by the researchers due to their beneficial physicochemical properties. Among them, the polysaccharide exudates obtained from the stem of the plant Moringa oleifera, known as moringa gum, is investigated widely in the food, pharmaceutical, and other areas. The moringa gum is used in the form of dried powder as a pharmaceutical excipient in various formulations. It is also derivatized either by grafting or by other chemical modifications for enhancing its properties. The research on moringa gum and modified moringa gum has diversified in numerous biomedical fields. However, summarization of these progress are not available in the literature. This article gives an overview of the collection, purification, structural elucidation, and modification of moringa gum. Moreover, the present review furnishes complete information on the various aspects of moringa gum and its applications in various industrial and biomedical fields.
在过去的几十年中，由于天然胶具有有益的物理化学性质，因此研究人员对其进行了广泛的研究。其中，从植物辣木的茎中获得的多糖渗出物，称为辣木胶，在食品、制药和其他领域得到了广泛的研究。辣木胶以干粉形式用作各种制剂的药用赋形剂。它也可以通过接枝或其他化学修饰来衍生化，以增强其性能。对辣木胶和改性辣木胶的研究已经在许多生物医学领域多样化。然而，这些进展的总结在文献中并不存在。本文概述了辣木胶的采集、纯化、结构解析和改性。此外，本综述还提供了关于辣木胶及其在各个工业和生物医学领域应用的各个方面的完整信息。
