Novel hydrogels of 5, 6, and 7% w/v of methylcellulose (5MC, 6MC, and 7MC) with 1.5% w/v of tamarind seed xyloglucan (TSX) were developed via an in situ gel forming process. The MC and MC/TSX solutions formed two gel types: a soft gel and a turbid hard gel respectively upon heating. These samples we...
