It is known to act as a soluble, or viscous, dietary fiber that thickens the fecal mass, an example being the consumption of fiber supplements containing psyllium seed husks. [ 5 ] Traditionally, marshmallows were made from the extract of the mucilaginous root of the marshmallow plant ( Althaea officinalis ).
Psyllium husk after processing Plantago afra, a member of the plant genus from which psyllium can be derived. Psyllium (/ ˈ s ɪ l i əm /), or ispaghula (/ ˌ ɪ s p ə ˈ ɡ uː l ə /), is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage.
Bufferbloat is the undesirable latency that comes from a router or other network equipment buffering too many data packets. Bufferbloat can also cause packet delay variation (also known as jitter), as well as reduce the overall network throughput .
Idioblasts can contain biforine cells that form crystals. The chemicals are excreted by the plant and stored in liquid or crystalline form. In bundles they are known as druse and as crystals they can be of raphide [needle] form. When the end of an idioblast is broken the crystals or other substance is ejected by internal water pressure.
Despite its short half-life and non-bioaccumulating character, the continuous release of BPA into the environment causes continuous exposure to both plant [111] and animal life. Although many studies have been performed, these often focus on a limited range of model organisms and can use BPA concentrations well beyond environmental levels. [ 112 ]
Shilajit or mumijo, Mohave lava tube, 2018. Shilajit (Sanskrit: शिलाजीत; lit. ' conqueror of mountain ', 'conqueror of the rocks'), salajeet (Urdu: سلاجیت), mumijo or mumlayi or mumie [1] is an organic-mineral product of predominantly biological origin, formed at high altitudes of stony mountains, in sheltered crevices and cave.
Soil microbes decompose it through enzymatic biochemical processes, obtain the necessary energy from the same matter, and produce the mineral compounds that plant roots are apt to absorb. [12] The decomposition of organic compounds specifically into mineral, i. e., inorganic, compounds is denominated " mineralization ".
Bagasse is the solid by-product when the liquid components are extracted from plants. Much of the core of those plants is a heterogeneous "pith" fibre. This fibre is primarily parenchyma tissue, along with bast, rind, or stem fibers of the sclerenchyma.
