Abstract:
The recent advancements in scientific knowledge and its diverse applications made us recognize the importance and need of some old practices. The use of synthetic materials, especially polymers with many side effects, also prompted human kind to switch on to plant-derived products. Among the various unavoidable substances in our daily lives, polymers are of prime importance. They may be natural, semisynthetic and artificial. Natural polymers are biocompatible, biodegradable and less toxic than artificial polymers. Among various natural polymers, plant derived polysaccharides such as mucilage, gums and starch. Mucilage is utilized in tablet formulations, drug delivery systems and waste water purification by removing dyes and heavy metals. It shows pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. This chapter reviews the importance and applications of plant mucilage with special reference to its pharmaceutical, pharmacological and bioremediation perspectives.
