EFFECT OF SALT ON THE STABILITY OF PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE/XANTHAN GUM/POLYSORBATE-60 STABILIZED OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS

Stabilization mechanism of salt, as a dissolved electrolyte, in oil-in-water emulsions in the presence of stabilizers and/or emulsifiers, propylene glycol alginate, xanthan gum and/or polysorbate-60 has been studied using rheological techniques, particle size analysis and surface tension measurements. Salt affected the stability of the ternary system, propylene glycol alginate/xanthan gum/polysorbate-60, depending on the emulsifier/stabilizer ratio. Creep measurements indicated that low salt concentrations were particularly effective when PGA:X ratios were used in the presence of PS-60. In both PGA:X and PGA:X/PS-60 systems salt did not affect the particle size distribution during aging. Surface tension measurements were in agreement both with particle size distribution and high shear rate experiments.     

Oxidative stability of olive oil–lemon juice salad dressings stabilized with polysaccharides

Lipid oxidation is a major cause of quality deterioration in food emulsions. Polysaccharides used to improve emulsion stability and texture may also affect lipid oxidation. In the present study, the oxidative stability of olive oil–lemon juice salad dressings, stabilized with gum arabic or propylene glycol alginate in admixture with xanthan, was investigated. Oil-in-water emulsions (50:50, v/v) were prepared with lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil and then homogenized at various homogenization rates to form different particle sizes. Keepability was followed by storing at room temperature for 6–8 months and measuring the formation of primary and secondary oxidation products. The shelf life was compared to that of the bulk olive oil. It was shown that the polysaccharides had the ability to inhibit lipid oxidation, probably due to their amphiphilic character (gum arabic and propylene glycol alginate) as well as their ability to induce viscosity increase. Olive oil–lemon juice emulsions were also assessed for consumer acceptance. The panellists were asked to smell the samples and rate them according to rancidity using a four-point (1 = no perception, 4 = extreme) intensity scale. The results were in accordance to those of chemical analysis. Lipid oxidation was not affected by the oil droplet size, as demonstrated by peroxide value measurements and sensory evaluation.     

Steady and Dynamic Shear Rheological Properties,and Stability of Non-Flocculated and Flocculated Beverage Cloud Emulsions

Rheological properties of single-phase, and emulsions containing modified starch and gum arabic as surface active hydrocolloids, as well as xanthan and tragacanth gums as stabilizers were evaluated under steady and dynamic shear testing conditions using a control stress rheometer. Emulsions were formed by 9% and 14% gum concentrations with oil concentration maintained at 9% thus giving a 1:1 and 1.5:1 surface active agent to oil ratio, respectively. The rates of droplet coalescence and creaming, for a total of 8 emulsions, as a function storage time before and after dilution in a simulated fruit beverage were then investigated. Steady shear (flow curve) were well described by the Carreau model at shear stress ranging from 0.01 to 100 Pa. All prepared water phases indicated a zero-shear viscosity plateau followed by shear thinning behavior with flow behavior index (n) ranging from 0.51 to 0.79 for 14% starch-0.3% xanthan and 14% gum arabic-0.8% tragacanth stabilized emulsions, respectively. The water phase flow property data were well fitted by the Einstein equation and its expansions. The dynamic rheological properties of water phase and emulsions were also evaluated for G′(ω) and G″(ω) from 1 to 50 rad/s. Similar curves were obtained with varying degrees of deviations (G′ from G″) for different emulsions. Starch-xanthan emulsion and associated water phase at 1.5/1 agent to oil ratio demonstrated viscoelastic behavior (G′ ≥ G″) with lower droplet coalescence and creaming rates. On the other hand, gum arabic-xanthan emulsion at 1:1 agent to oil ratio showed the highest rate of droplet coalescence and a greater degree of creaming. It was speculated that the lower stability of gum arabic-xanthan emulsion could be related to the denaturation of proteinaceous part in the gum and loss of emulsification capacity due to lower pH and pasteurization.     

Hydrocolloids in emulsions: particle size distribution and interfacial activity

The emulsification properties of 14 hydrocolloid gums (propylene glycol alginate, gellan, carrageenan, pectin, methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, gum arabic, locust bean gum, guar, xanthan, mustard, flaxseed, fenugreek, oat) were investigated. Gum dispersions were prepared in water (0.5%) and emulsified with 40% oil using a Polytron homogenizer. Emulsion stability was determined by centrifugation and storage time, surface and interfacial tension by Du Nouy ring, particle size by integrated light scattering and overall morphology by light microscopy. When compared to the other gums in this study, fenugreek produced a very stable emulsion. Fenugreek was more efficient than other gums in lowering the interfacial free energy, its emulsion was composed of very small oil droplets (70%<1 μm) and under the light microscope appeared as uniform droplets with a narrow size distribution.     

EFFECT OF POLYSORBATE-60 ON THE STABILITY OF O/W EMULSIONS STABILIZED BY PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE AND XANTHAN GUM

The effect of polysorbate-60 in improving the stability of model oil-in-water emulsions formulated with xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate was studied at two levels of the surfactant; 0.15% and 0.30%. Creep measurements and steady shear measurements as well as surface tension and oil droplet size measurements were conducted to relate rheological and surface properties to improved stability. Higher polysorbate-60 concentration resulted in lower surface tension values which shifted the oil droplet size distribution to a smaller size range; this distribution was a function of aging time at 0.15% weight concentration PS-60. The decay in rheological parameters, particularly Newtonian viscosity, was slower at 0.30% surfactant concentration.     

Effect of Propylene Glycol Alginate and Xanthan Gum on Stability of O/W Emulsions

The role of xanthan gum and propylene glycol alginate in stabilizing model oil-in-water salad dressing emulsions has been studied using rheological measurements, particle size analysis and surface tension. Increasing xanthan gum concentration within the gum ratio gave higher viscosity due to formation of aggregates with larger sizes. Propylene glycol alginate (PGA) was surface-active leading to reduction in surface tension of air/water surfaces. Reduction in viscosity was seen in the presence of PGA.     

Rheological Properties of Solutions and Emulsions Stabilized with Xanthan Gum and Propylene Glycol Alginate

The rheological effects of propylene glycol alginate (PGA) added to solutions and model emulsions containing xanthan gum (XG) were studied using controlled stress rheometry with concentrations appropriate for salad dressings. For samples with XG and XG + PGA blends, solutions and emulsions showed a Newtonian plateau at low shear stresses. The Newtonian plateau of a solution accurately predicted (r²= 1.00) the Newtonian plateau for an emulsion of equivalent gum concentration. Addition of PGA to constant levels of XG showed a more than additive increase in the Newtonian plateau viscosity for solutions and emulsions. For XG aqueous solutions, pseudoplasticity decreased upon addition of PGA. Storage and loss moduli increased with addition of PGA to XG for solutions and emulsions, although G’ for solutions of PGA alone were negligible.     

Rheological properties and stability of model salad dressing emulsions prepared with a dry-heated soybean protein isolate–dextran mixture

The rheological characteristics of model salad dressing emulsions, incorporating a dry-heated soybean protein isolate (SPI)–dextran mixture as emulsifier, were investigated by applying dynamic rheometry tests in an attempt to probe the emulsion structure and to elucidate the mechanism of their stability against creaming. Both the viscoelastic properties and the creaming behaviour of the dressings were greatly influenced by the extent of protein–dextran conjugation and also by xanthan gum addition. The results are discussed in terms of emulsion droplet interactions which, depending on the extent of glyco-conjugation, may be dominated by depletion or ‘bridging’ flocculation effects and, thereby, influence the droplet network structure collapse during ageing.     

Effects of xanthan gum on physicochemical properties and stability of corn oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate

The influence of added xanthan gum on rheological and dispersion characteristics and stability of concentrated (50% w/w) corn oil-in-water emulsions, stabilized with 5% (percentage on oil amount) polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80), have been investigated. Emulsion with no xanthan indicated coalescence and poor creaming stability. All emulsions, with and without xanthan, showed shear-thinning flow behavior. Addition of xanthan protected emulsions from coalescence during 15 days of storage. Increase in xanthan concentration led to decrease in droplet average radius and creaming index, and increase in elastic properties of emulsions. Decrease in the emulsions flow behavior indexes, which suggested the extent of non-Newtonian behavior of emulsions, was influenced by increase in xanthan concentration. Above 0.04% of xanthan concentration, G′ and G″ values indicated formation of weak gels. Gel structure existence arises from droplet network association, due to depletion flocculation. Standard deviation of emulsions droplet size mean diameter decreased while concentration of added xanthan increased.     

Influence of selected hydrocolloids on triticale starch rheological properties

The aim of the study was to define the influence of selected nonstarch polysaccharides (guar gum, xanthan gum and arabic gum) on several rheological properties of triticale starch pastes/gels, at constant polysaccharide concentration (6.5 g/100 g). These included pasting characteristics, flow curves at 50 °C and mechanical spectra at 25 °C. It was found that the presence of a gum in a system modified the rheological properties of triticale starch gels/pastes, depending on the type and concentration of the gums. In the case of guar and xanthan gums, higher pasting viscosity was observed and the shear stress was increased compared with native starch. The presence of guar gum reduced the degree of thixotropy hysteresis, negative values for this being found for systems with xanthan in spite of their shear‐thinning behaviour. Systems containing arabic gum displayed lower values of pasting and flow viscosity. The type and concentration of gums added to the polysaccharide influenced the viscoelastic properties of the gels.

Influence of tragacanth gum exudates from specie of Astragalus gossypinus on rheological and physical properties of whey protein isolate stabilised emulsions

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of Iranian tragacanth gum (Astragalus gossypinus) (0.5, 1 wt.%), Whey protein isolate (WPI) (2, 4 wt.%) and acid oleic‐phase volume fraction (5, 10% v/v) on droplet size distribution, creaming index and rheological properties of emulsions with various compositions. Rheological investigations showed that both loss and storage modules increased with gum and oil contents. However, the viscoelastic behaviour was mainly governed by the gum concentration. Delta degree (storage and loss modules ratio) increased with frequency indicated that liquid like viscose behaviour dominates over solid like elastic behaviour. The shear‐thinning behaviour of all dispersions was successfully modelled with power law and Ellis models and Ellis model was founded as the better model to describe the flow behaviour of dispersions. Droplet size distribution was measured by light scattering; microscopic observations revealed a flocculated system. Increase in gum, WPI and oil contents resulted in decrease in creaming index of emulsions with dominant effect of gum concentration.

Physical and Oxidative Stabilities of O/W Emulsions Formed with Rice Dreg Protein Hydrolysate: Effect of Xanthan Gum Rheology

The shortening of shelf-life of food emulsions is frequently due to poor creaming and lipid oxidation stability. The lipid oxidation of O/W emulsions can be inhibited by rice dreg protein hydrolysate (RDPH); however, emulsions were stabilized by Tween-20. Polysaccharides can control the rheology and network structure of the aqueous continuous phase by increasing viscosity and yield stress, hence retarding phase separation and gravity-induced creaming, especially for xanthan gum. The objective of this research was to evaluate whether emulsions formed with 2 wt% RDPH and stabilized by xanthan gum (0–0.5 wt%) could produce 20 % (v/v) soybean oil-in-water emulsions that had good physical and oxidative stability. The degree of flocculation of droplets as a function of xanthan gum concentration was assessed by the microstructure, rheology, and the creaming index of emulsions. Addition of xanthan gum prior to homogenization had no significant effect on the mean droplet diameter in all emulsions studied. Increase in xanthan gum concentration led to the increase in creaming stability of emulsions, due to an increase in viscosity of the continuous phase and/or the formation of a droplet network with a yield stress, as well as the enhanced steric and electrostatic repulsion between the droplets. Lipid oxidation of the emulsions was significantly inhibited at xanthan gum concentrations of 0.12 wt% or above with RDPH, which could due to the fact that xanthan gum increases the viscosity of the aqueous phase and hindered the diffusion of oxidants to the oil droplet surface area, synergistic effect between RDPH and xanthan gum to suppress oil peroxidation, and metal ion chelation capability of xanthan gum. Thus, stable protein hydrolyzates-type emulsions could be obtained with increasing concentration of xanthan gum.     

Application of decolourised hsian‐tsao leaf gum to low‐fat salad dressing model emulsions: a rheological study

The effects of mixed gums, including decolourised hsian‐tsao leaf gum (dHG) mixed with propylene glycol alginate (PGA) or xanthan gum (XG), and egg yolk concentration on the rheological properties of low‐fat salad dressing model emulsions were studied. All model emulsions showed pseudoplastic flow behaviour. Model emulsions with PGA addition showed the lowest pseudoplasticity, followed by those with dHG and then XG addition. Increasing the PGA level in the dHG/PGA system reduced the pseudoplasticity. Increasing the XG level in the dHG/XG system did not change the pseudoplasticity significantly but imparted a significant increase in viscosity. Dynamic viscoelasticity measurements indicated that model emulsions with dHG or XG addition could be classified as elastic gels. However, model emulsions with PGA addition essentially belonged to the class of either dilute or concentrated solutions rheologically, depending on the egg yolk concentration. The rheological characteristics of individual gums were found to be confounded in generating the rheological characteristics of model emulsions containing them.

Gelling property of soy protein–gum mixtures

Gelling properties of soy protein–gum mixtures were determined by small deformation oscillation measurement and the experimental data were analyzed with blending laws of polymers. Gel strength of soy protein–carrageenan mixture was found to follow either upper or lower bounds depending on the concentration of the constituents, suggesting the occurring of phase shift. G′ of soy protein–xanthan mixed gel always followed the upper bound, indicating that soy protein was the continuous phase regardless variations of the gum concentration. Combination of soy protein with propylene glycol alginate (PGA) produced a mixed gel with high gel strength and stayed above the upper bound at all gum concentrations examined. Covalent bonds between PGA and soy protein was suggested to contribute to the rigidity. Storage modulus of the mixture of soy protein–locust bean gum (LBG) was below the lower bound at low gum concentrations due to the limited demixing process of LBG. G′ values of the mixture of soy protein and LBG–xanthan followed the lower bound but approached upper bound on reducing protein concentration, suggesting that the presence of soy protein might inhibit LBG–xanthan mixture from forming continuous networks.
