Rheological properties of whey protein isolate stabilized emulsions with pectin and guar gum

Dynamic oscillatory and steady-shear rheological tests were carried out to evaluate the rheological properties of whey protein isolate (WPI) stabilized emulsions with and without hydrocolloids (pectin and guar gum) at pH 7.0. Viscosity and also consistency index of emulsions increased with hydrocolloid concentration. At γ = 20 s⁻¹, the value of viscosity of the emulsion with 0.5% (w/v) pectin was about fivefold higher than that of the emulsion without pectin. Flow curves were analyzed using power law model through a fitting procedure. Flow behaviour index of all emulsions except for containing 0.5% (w/v) guar gum was approximately in the range of 0.9–1.0, which corresponds to near-Newtonian behaviour. The shear thinning behaviour of emulsions containing 0.5% (w/w) guar gum was confirmed by flow behaviour index, n, of 0.396. Both storage (G′) and loss modulus (G″) increased with an increase in frequency. Emulsions behaved like a liquid with G″ > G′ at lower frequencies; and like an elastic solid with G′ > G″ at higher frequencies. Effect of guar gum was more pronounced on dynamic properties. Phase angle values decreased from 89 to <10° with increasing frequency and indicated the viscoelasticity of WPI-stabilized emulsions with and without pectin/guar gum.     

Characterization of emulsions prepared by egg yolk phosvitin with pectin,glycerol and trehalose

Effect of pectin (34–40% esterification), glycerol and trehalose at two concentrations (0.1% and 0.5%, wt./wt%) on physicochemical and emulsifying properties of phosvitin (Pv) was investigated under the mild conditions (oil volume fraction, 0.25; protein concentration, 5 mg/mL; 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0). Pv showed better emulsifying properties than sodium caseinate (Sc). Glycerol (0.5%) significantly increased the emulsifying activity index (EAI) of Pv from 19.8 to 20.9 and the emulsion stability index (ESI) from 67.6 to 75.1. The higher ESI of Pv was also obtained by 0.1% pectin and 0.5% trehalose. The results obtained from circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicated that all the tested additives displayed slight effect on the unfolded structure of Pv. Furthermore, fluorescence pattern demonstrated that glycerol and trehalose increased the hydrophobicity of Pv, while pectin displayed an opposite effect. All emulsions exhibited a shear-thinning behavior and the flow behavior was fitted to the power law model. Frequency sweeps of the emulsions illustrated that they behaved like a viscous liquid.     

Influence of interfacial mechanisms on the rheology of creaming emulsions

A set of protein-stabilised emulsions at pH 7.0, pH 6.0, and pH 5.0, and their counterpart surfactant emulsions, was designed with near-identical droplet size distribution and phase volume to study the specific contribution of hydrodynamic and pair potential interactions to the interfacial mechanisms of these emulsions systems. In this way, further the interfacial layer of these creaming emulsions to enhance perceived fat content could be manipulated. Creaming behaviour, surface shear, and bulk rheological measurements were performed. This work reflects the great importance of local pair potential in the formation of a highly viscoelastic interfacial film, which could be manipulated changing the surface charge of the protein to develop a well-packed cream layer in the protein-stabilised emulsions.     

Effect of high-pressure treatment on rheology of oil-in-water emulsions prepared with hen egg yolk

This study evaluated the potentiality of high-pressure treatment to stabilise microbiologically emulsions made with yolk without causing destabilisation and gelation. The effects of two levels of treatment (200 or 500 MPa) on the properties (oil droplet size, interfacial protein concentration and composition), the rheology, and the microbiology of yolk emulsions prepared at two pH values (3.0 and 7.0) were determined. Our results showed that, oil droplet size, interfacial protein concentration and composition were not altered by the high-pressure treatments. The rheological study demonstrated that high-pressure treatment induced a significant increase of viscosity in emulsions prepared at pH 7.0, whereas no obvious thickening was noticed in emulsions prepared at pH 3.0. Furthermore, as the protein concentration increased, the effect of high-pressure was more pronounced. Microbial analysis revealed that high-pressure treatment allowed an efficient reduction of the microbial charge of emulsions and that this effect was better at acidic pH than at neutral pH. Consequently, high-pressure treatment could be used to stabilise yolk emulsions in acidic conditions.

Combined effects of inulin,pectin and guar gum on the quality and stability of partially baked frozen bread

Many attempts have been made to increase the nutritional value of bread by adding dietary fibre. However, fibre enrichment is usually associated with various technological problems. The aim of this study was to optimise the composition of a blend of inulin, pectin and guar gum to enrich the fibre content of partially baked frozen bread without impairing its technological quality. We prepared 20 formulations following a central composite design, together with 4 control breads. Bread enriched with inulin had higher crumb hardness, lower specific volume, shape, moisture content, and crumb cohesiveness than control bread, but improved flavour. Pectin and guar improved moisture content and crumb cohesiveness. There was no interaction between inulin and pectin for any of the bread attributes investigated, while interactions between inulin and guar were small. In contrast, guar and pectin significantly interacted to decrease volume and increase crumb hardness and chewiness. A desirability function method identified the optimised blend as containing 3% inulin, 0.9–1% pectin and 0.3–0.4% guar. Bread enriched with such blend had the following characteristics: specific volume, 4.06 cm³/g; shape, 0.63; crumb hardness, 189 g; resilience, 0.36; cohesiveness, 0.84; chewiness, 169 g; and flavour score, 4.6. Experimental values were close to the predicted ones, with prediction errors below 10% for all attributes tested. The specific volume, crumb hardness and chewiness of the enriched bread were superior to those of unenriched bread. However, undesirable textural changes occurred in the enriched bread during 12 weeks of frozen storage, and these changes strongly depended on the fibre blend composition.

Viscosity of guar gum and xanthan/guar gum mixture solutions

The viscosity of diluted guar gum solutions and the viscosity of xanthan and guar gum mixture solutions have been studied. Guar gum solutions showed pseudoplastic behaviour. Apparent viscosity increased with gum concentration and decreased with the temperature at which viscosity was measured. A maximum in the plot of viscosity versus increasing dissolution temperature was observed at 60 °C. This behaviour was related to differences in molecular structure of the polymers solved at different temperatures. Mixtures of xanthan and guar gum showed a higher combined viscosity than that occurring in each separate gum. This synergistic interaction was affected by the gum ratio in the mixture and dissolution temperature of both gums. The effect of polysaccharide concentration (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg m⁻³), xanthan/guar gum ratio (1/5, 4/2, 3/3, 4/2 and 5/1) and dissolution temperature (25, 40, 60 and 80 °C for both gums) on the viscosity of solutions of mixtures were studied. The highest viscosities were observed when 2.0 kg m⁻³ gum concentration was used together with a ratio of xanthan/guar gum of 3/3 (w/w) and dissolution temperature of 40 and 80 °C for xanthan and guar gum, respectively. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effects of protein concentration and oil-phase volume fraction on the stability and rheology of menhaden oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by whey protein isolate with xanthan gum

The influences of protein concentration (0.2, 1, 2 wt%) and oil-phase volume fraction (5%, 20%, 40% v/v) on emulsion stability and rheological properties were investigated in whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions containing 0.2 wt% xanthan gum (XG). The data of droplet size, surface charge, creaming index, oxidative stability, and emulsion rheology were obtained. The results showed that increasing WPI concentration significantly affected droplet size, surface charge, and oxidative stability, but had little effect on creaming stability and emulsion rheology. At 0.2 wt% WPI, increasing oil-phase volume fraction greatly increased droplet size but no significant effect on surface charge. At 1 or 2 wt% WPI, increasing oil-phase volume fraction had less influence on droplet size but led to surface charge more negative. Increasing oil-phase volume fraction facilitated the inhibition of lipid oxidation. Meanwhile, oil-phase volume fraction played a dominant role in creaming stability and emulsion viscosity. The rheological data indicated the emulsions may undergo a behavior transition from an entropic polymer gel to an enthalpic particle gel when oil-phase volume fraction increased from 20% to 40% v/v.     

Emulsifying characterization of hens egg yolk proteins in oil-in-water emulsions

Emulsifying properties of egg yolk as a function of pH and oil volume were studied. Egg yolk proteins formed larger emulsion particles at pH 3 and the mean droplet size of the emulsions was decreased with increasing pH. A linear relationship between turbidity and mean droplet size of egg yolk emulsions could not be obtained. This may be due to the floculation of the emulsions. Egg yolk proteins formed thicker multilayers at low oil volume, however total protein adsorption ratio against original proteins was 55–65%, independent to protein and oil concentration. Electrophoretic analysis of the egg yolk emulsion revealed that the main components to adsorb at the interface was glanular lipovitellins, even though its emulsifying property was lower than that of plasma because of poor solubility at low ionic strength (0.1 M NaCl) at pH 7. These results indicate that the main contributor for egg yolk emulsion is granules and it can affect the emulsifying properties of egg yolk at different pH values.     

Effect of temperature and cross-linking density on rheology of chemical cross-linked guar gum at the gel point

The evolution of viscoelasticity within a solution of guar gum (GG) in the presence of an excess of cross-linker (glutaraldehyde, Ga) has been monitored, at different temperatures (7, 15, 25 and 37 °C), evaluating the sol–gel transition by means of dynamic mechanical experiments. Furthermore, at 25 °C, the samples were characterized as a function of the different amounts of cross-linker. The gelation time of the systems, evaluated with the loss tangent, decreased with increasing temperature and, at a fixed temperature (25 °C), decreased with increasing cross-linker concentration. At the gel point a power-law frequency dependence of the dynamic storage modulus (G′≈ωⁿ) and loss modulus (G″≈ωⁿ) was observed. The value of n, evaluated according to three different methods (n_slope, considering the parallelism of the two moduli, n_tan, from the frequency-independence of tan δ, and from the crossing point between the apparent exponents of G′ and G″, n_app), decreases with increasing cross-linking densities and with increasing temperature. The fractal dimension (d_f) was determined for the incipient GG/Ga hydrogels. The value of d_f increases with increasing cross-linker concentration and decreases with increasing temperature. This trend of d_f suggests a more “tight” structure of the network at higher cross-linking densities and at lower temperatures. The activation energy (E_a) of the chemical reaction between GG and Ga was estimated: the experimental value was close to those obtained in the case of similar chemical reactions among polymers and different kinds of cross-linkers.     

Effects of guar gum and arabic gum on the physicochemical,sensory and flow behaviour characteristics of frozen yoghurt

This study investigated the effect of guar gum and arabic gum on physicochemical, sensory and flow behaviour properties of frozen yoghurt. The results indicated that gums significantly affected the viscosity, overrun and melting rate of frozen yoghurt. The highest overrun value was observed in sample containing 0.5% arabic gum. Frozen yoghurt containing 0.3% guar gum had the highest viscosity. The longest first dripping time was observed in sample containing 0.5% arabic gum. Flow behaviour of samples showed that all frozen yoghurts exhibited shear thinning behaviour. Guar gum at a concentration of 0.2% and arabic gum at a concentration of 0.5% presented the best total acceptability. The results of this study revealed that the frozen yoghurt produced with arabic gum had the better overall sensory and physicochemical characteristics.

Interactions between hydrophobically modified starch and egg yolk proteins in solution and emulsions

In this paper we study the interaction between starch which has been hydrophobically modified, with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA), and α-β-livetin, which is the water soluble fraction of egg yolk. The modification of the starch renders it surface active and also incorporates a carboxyl group to the starch, which can be negatively charged. The interaction was studied both in solution and emulsions, and at different pH (4.0–8.0). Solutions with different ratios between starch and protein was mixed and studied with turbidity measurements over time. Emulsions were formed with α-β-livetin after which the OSA-starch was added. The emulsions were separated by centrifugation and the surface load of α-β-livetin and OSA-starch was determined through serum depletion. Furthermore, the impact of the observed interaction on emulsion stability was investigated. The results show a strong interaction between the two biomacromolecules in solution at pH 4.0. In the emulsions the adsorption of starch onto livetin was highest at pH 4.5 followed by pH 6.0, while low at pH 4.0 and 8.0. The low adsorption of OSA-starch at pH 4.0, despite the strong interaction in solution, can be explained by complex formation immediately in solution. Less starch would, thus, be able to reach the interface and adsorb. Some differences in the stability of an emulsion only containing α-β-livetin, and an emulsion with both α-β-livetin and OSA-starch could be observed. However, the differences were not statistically significant.     

Impact of emulsifier-polysaccharide interactions on the stability and rheology of stabilised oil-in-water emulsions

In the present study, the interactions between negatively charged sodium stearoyl 2-lactylate (SSL) and positively charged chitosan were studied in solution and on oil-water interfaces. Phase diagrams of the SSL/chitosan systems were obtained at both pH 4.0 and 5.7 by preparing concentrated solutions and mixing them at different ratios. Optical microscopy revealed that the complexes formed at pH=4.0 were smaller than those formed at pH=5.7 and that the size of the complexes decreased as the SSL/chitosan ratio was reduced. Emulsions (10% w/w oil) were prepared at pH=5.7 by using the complexes of a constant SSL concentration (0.4% w/w) and at different SSL/chitosan weight ratios. The droplet size of the emulsions that were formed with the complexes was greater than those containing only SSL. Using complexes of low SSL/chitosan ratio as emulsifying agent resulted in the production of emulsions with enhanced viscosity as determined by steady shear rheometry. However, none of the samples showed a gel-like behaviour since in all cases the G’ (storage modulus) was lower that G” (loss modulus). The presence of polysaccharide at the interface resulted in an increased stability of the emulsions subjected to environmental stresses, such as heat treatment and a freeze thawing process.     

Thermal behaviour of lyophilized egg yolk and egg yolk fractions

Despite its importance from a technical point of view, the influence of temperature on rheological behaviour of lyophilized egg yolk and egg yolk fractions has not yet been studied. In this work, the effect of temperature on rheological properties of these products have been analysed by means of stationary and oscillatory measurements. Firstly, the Arrhenius equation was employed to assess the influence of temperature on viscosity. In addition to temperature effect, solid content showed to be determinant on viscosity, while particle size, water holding capacity and wettability influence on rheological behaviour of samples were not critical. Secondly, rheological changes during heat-induced gelation of the samples were also investigated by means of dynamic tests and the critical network exponents at the gelation point were calculated. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also performed using the Statgraphics Plus to evaluate experimental data. Results show that proteins of egg yolk fractions possess a similar network structure before and after gelation, while egg yolk structure is clearly modified by gelation process. Composition and structure is the main responsible of differences between samples.
