The excipients obtained from plant origin are has gained importance in formulation of various dosage forms like, emulsions, matrix tablets etc.These excipients are eco-friendly and easily available. Biopolymers are polymers that are biodegradable. The input materials for the production of these polymers may be either renewable (based on agricultural plant or animal products) or synthetic. Natural gums are widely used as emulgents, binders, suspending agents and film formers etc.These natural gums are the byproducts which results from metabolic mechanisms of plants. They are either soluble in water or forms viscous solution after absorption of water. The current study was designed to isolate, purify and characterization of biomaterial obtained from citrus maxima juice. The physical, chemical and flow properties of biomaterial obtained from citrus maxima juice were conducted and satisfactory results were obtained.
