Abstract Click to copy section linkSection link copied! A polysaccharide-based biopolymer from Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds has attracted growing attention owing to its high degree of galactose substitution and abundance of hydroxyl groups, which distinguish it from many conventional hydrocolloids. In the food industry, fenugreek seed mucilage (FSM) is used to enhance juiciness, improve moisture retention, and extend shelf life, thereby maintaining product quality.
