    Mucilage - Wikipedia

    Mucilage is a thick gluey substance produced by nearly all plants and some microorganisms. These microorganisms include protists which use it for their locomotion. The direction of their movement is always opposite to that of the secretion of mucilage. It is a polar glycoprotein and an … See more

    Where does mucilage come from?
    Mucilage is also produced in the leaves and buds of several plant species; it may allow the leaves to retain water capacity when soil water deficits emerge; therefore, it helps in the storage of food and water. Various mucilage containing plants and their origins are highlighted in Table 1. Origin of mucilage in different parts of a plant.

    How does mucilage work?
    On contact with the soil, mucilage forms a gel, which has a number of beneficial properties. The gel binds soil particles and microbes together with the root to form a “rhizosheath.” As the moisture content of soil falls following plant uptake, the mucilage dries.

    What is mucilage treatment?
    Solvent treatment is a conventional extraction technique of mucilage. generally, the aqueous procedure included the mucilage extracted from the dry parts of the plant (seeds, leaves, roots, stems) by using hot distilled water. The procedure occurs under continuous shaking and stirring of solution.
