Development and Characterization of Edible Films from Cranberry Pomace Extracts

The feasibility of using cranberry pomace extract as a new film‐forming material was studied. Cranberry pomaces were extracted using hot water. Low methoxyl pectin (LMP) or high methoxyl pectin (HMP) at a concentration of 0.50% or 0.75% (w/w) and 0.25% (w/w) sorbitol or glycerol was incorporated into film‐forming solutions (FFSs) for improving film functionality. Proximate compositions of cranberry pomace and its extract were determined. The pH and total soluble solid content (SSC) of FFSs, physical and mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, and microstructure of dried films were analyzed. About 1.4% (w/w) of solids was obtained from cranberry pomace water extracts, of which about 93% was carbohydrate. Dried films had bright red color and strong cranberry flavor. Films plasticized with sorbitol were denser in matrix structure and had higher color intensity than those of glycerol plasticized films. In general, LMP and sorbitol incorporated films had higher tensile strength and lower elongation at break and lower water vapor permeability than other films. The higher (0.75%) pectin concentration resulted in increased tensile strength, but decreased elongation at break. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that sorbitol added films had more regular and compact cross‐section structure than those of glycerol added films. This study demonstrated that it is feasible to create natural colorful and fruit flavor edible films from fruit pomace water extracts. Depending on specific applications of the films, targeted film functionality can be achieved by incorporating proper pectin type and concentration and plasticizer into pomace extracts.     

Acid-induced gelation of milk protein concentrates with added pectin: Effect of casein micelle dissociation

The dynamics of the formation of the acid gel network for mixtures of milk protein concentrate (MPC) and low methoxyl amidated (LMA) pectin were studied using rheological measurements. The results as a function of pectin content and casein micelle integrity, from neutral pH to approximately pH 4.2, together with the microstructural changes observed in some of these systems, are presented.The gelation profiles of a mixture of 4% w/v MPC and LMA pectin (0–0.075% w/v) after the addition of 1.2% w/v glucono-δ-lactone showed a gradual decrease in the shear modulus with the incorporation of pectin. The effects of casein micelle integrity on casein–pectin interactions were studied, by preparing MPC dispersions containing various levels of micellar casein. A gradual change in the shear modulus, from a disrupting effect of pectin added to MPC, in which the casein micelles are intact, to a clear synergistic effect of pectin added to dissociated casein systems, was found in the acid-induced milk gels.

Dynamic Rheological Measurement of Structure Development in High-methoxyl Pectin/Fructose Gels

Incipient structure development (SD) in 65% fructose—0.5, 0.75, and 1% high—methoxyl (HM) pectin gels (pH 2.7) being cooled (50–10°C) were measured in terms of dynamic viscosity (η*) at 1Hz. SD rates (poise/min) were higher at lower temperatures, higher pectin concentrations, and when pectin was hydrated for 16 hr. Below the gel temperature, SD rates in 1% gel followed the Flory-Weaver model. SD in stored 0.5% gels during 22 days was strongly affected by storage temperature (2–38°C) and pH. SD rates in pH 2.7 gels were positive above, but negative below 18°C.     

Pectins as Breadmaking Additives: Effect on Dough Rheology and Bread Quality

The effect of two types of pectins with different degrees of esterification on dough and bread characteristics was analysed. A high methoxyl pectin (HMP) and a low methoxyl pectin (LMP) were assayed in dough without or with salt (2%) at levels ranging from 0.25% to 2.0%. Farinographic water absorption increased when pectins were incorporated in dough with salt, whereas this effect was not observed in dough without salt. Pectin addition diminished the stability of dough in all cases. Texture profile analysis showed that pectins softened the dough, particularly when salt was added. Cohesiveness was also higher in doughs with salt at the maximum level of hydrocolloid addition. In dough with salt, HMP decreased the elastic and viscous moduli, while the values for tan (δ) were increased with respect to control. SEM micrographs showed that dough with pectin has a filamentous structure. In the breadmaking process, dough with HMP showed a better performance, leading to higher specific volumes and softer crumbs both in fresh and stored bread.     

Interfacial rheology of soy proteins – High methoxyl pectin films

Surface aggregating soy protein-pectin solutions are used in the production of biodegradable films intended for food packaging applications. Structural properties of the surface biopolymer network influence the engineering properties of the films, such as permeability and mechanical strength. Soy protein isolates (SPI) – high methoxyl pectin (HMP) films that develop at the air–water interface were therefore investigated by a combined interface rheological and ellipsometric approach. The behavior of pure SPI interfacial layer is that of a light cross-linked polymer network with a small regime of linear viscoelasticity response. Since SPI progressively accumulate at the air–water interface, higher protein concentration in the solution does not lead automatically to higher surface coverage but due to restricted unfolding of the proteins to weaker and fluid-like films. The rheological behavior of composite SPI–HMP solutions at the air–water interface shows that the HMP addition increases the elastic interfacial modulus. The stabilizing effect in presence of the polysaccharide is attributed to a protein–polysaccharide complex formation at the interface.     

Pectin stabilization of soy protein isolates at low pH

The stabilizing behaviour of pectins in acidified dispersions of soy protein was studied. Objective of this work was to understand if different soy isolates and different pectins show differences in stability. The behaviour of a commercially available isolated soy protein (ISP) was compared to that of a soy protein in the laboratory. At pH 3.8 while suspensions of commercial ISP showed significant precipitation, the native SPI (prepared in the laboratory) was much more stable against precipitation. High methoxyl pectin (HMP) had better stabilization behaviour than low methoxyl pectin (LMP). A higher amount of HMP was needed to avoid protein precipitation of native SPI, compared to that used for commercial ISP. It was demonstrated that at low pH pectin forms soluble complexes with SPI through electrostatic interactions.     

EFFECT OF OTHER HYDROCOLLOIDS ON THE TEXTURE OF KAPPA CARRAGEENAN GELS1

The effect of different hydrocolloids on the breaking strength, cohesiveness and rigidity of kappa carrageenan gels was studied using comression tests with the Instron. Instrumental measurements were supplemented with benchtop sensory evaluation of texture by mouth, gel clarity and syneresis. The evaluated hydrocolloids included locust bean gum, iota carrageenan, amidated low methoxyl pectin, xanthan gum, and their selected combinations. Best gels were obtained by using 0.15% kappa carrageenan and 0.85% iota carrageenan, or 0.2% kappa carrageenan, 0.2% locust bean gum and 0.6% amidated LM pectin. Although none duplicated the textural quality of gelatine gels, they represented a wide range of interesting and potentially useful textures.     

The stabilizing behaviour of soybean soluble polysaccharide and pectin in acidified milk beverages

The mechanisms of stabilization of soybean soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) and high methoxyl pectin (HMP) in acidified milk drinks were studied focusing on the differences in behaviour between the two polysaccharides. The changes in casein micelles size during acidification with glucono-δ-lactone or by direct acidification were measured using light scattering. When HMP was added to skim milk before acidification, pectin adsorbed on the surface of the casein micelles via electrostatic interactions and prevented casein aggregation. Results suggested that adsorption of pectin occurred from the beginning of acidification and somewhat affected the rearrangement of casein micelles in the pH range between 5.8 and 5.0. On the other hand, SSPS, at concentrations up to 2% (w/w), did not interact with caseins at pH >4.6. At pH <4.2 SSPS showed better stabilizing properties than HMP. In addition, between pH 4.2 and 3.2, SSPS-stabilized acid dispersions were not affected by pH, while dispersions homogenized with pectin showed a size distribution that depended on pH. The differences in structure between SSPS and HMP account for the unique functionalities of the two polysaccharides in acid milk systems.     

Sweetness and texture perception in mixed pectin gels with 30% sugar and a designed rheology

Pure low-methoxyl (LM) pectin and mixtures of LM and high-methoxyl (HM) pectin in different ratios were used to produce gels with control over the rheological parameter storage modulus (G′). The gels either had similar pectin concentrations and different G′ values, or different pectin concentrations and similar G′ values. All gels were prepared with 30 g/100 g sugar, in the presence of 0.1 g/100 g CaCl₂, at pH 3.5; these are conditions that favour gel formation of both LM and HM pectin.The gels were compared for their sensory characteristics; specifically sweetness, sourness, thickness, and glueyness. Sweetness was found to increase with increasing storage modulus (G′) in pectin gels of similar pectin concentration, but different G′ values. Gels with higher proportions of LM pectin were perceived as sweeter than those with low LM pectin ratios. These gels also had increasing loss modulus (G″), and increasing differences between G′ and G″, which indicates that diffusion has a bearing on the perception of sweetness in pectin gels. Thickness and glueyness were mostly determined by total pectin concentration. Thickness also increased with increasing LM pectin concentration while glueyness increased with increasing HM pectin concentration.     

Small and large deformation viscoelastic behaviour of selected fibre blends with gelling properties

Dietary fibres can be used as valuable functional ingredients in baked goods, as thickeners and gelling agents as a result of their ability to modify the structural properties of the matrix in which they are embedded. Viscoelastic behaviour of 12 selected gel–fibre blends (carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, locust bean gum, high ester pectin, fructo-oligosaccharide and gluco-oligosaccharide) prepared at 10% concentration (w/v) was investigated at 25 °C and 95 °C by applying both fundamental and empirical rheological techniques to explore their usefulness/suitability as structural ingredients in diluted and weakened baking systems such as gluten free matrices. Mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties were recorded by using a controlled stress rheometer, measuring the storage modulus (G′), the loss modulus (G″) and the complex viscosity (η*). Textural characteristics were assessed by using a TAXTplus Texture Analyser with different attachments. Penetration and back extrusion tests were used for solid and liquid-like samples, respectively. The overall results indicated that (i) carboxymethylcellulose and pectin formed the strongest and the weakest gels, respectively, and that (ii) temperature had a significant effect on gel strength improvement especially for locust bean gum. A 30% substitution of hydrated fibres (cellulose derivates, galactomanans and high ester pectin) by prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides and gluco-oligosaccharides) led to a significant decrease of gel structure rigidity when compared to an identical system without prebiotic addition. Only locust bean gum exhibited an opposite behaviour inducing an increase in values of both dynamic moduli (G′ and G″) and static hardness. Significant relationships between dynamic (rheometry) and static (texture analysis) methods were found. Strengthening and structuring ability of some fibre blend gels endorsed them to be used as promising functional ingredients to make gluten-free bread by using low cost thickeners' agents.     

Effect of inulin on texture and clarity of gellan gels

The effect of inulin on the gelation of 0.5 wt% low acyl gellan in the presence of increasing concentrations of potassium chloride was investigated by large deformation compression experiments and visible light absorbance. The sugar and salt concentrations varied from 0 to 15 wt% and 40-100 mM, respectively. Stress and strain at failure along with Young’s modulus were calculated from each compression curve. Samples prior to compression were refrigerated at 5 °C for 24 h. Reduced gel strength and firmness were observed for all inulin and salt concentrations. Increasing amounts of inulin resulted in an increase in gel strength which was greater for higher potassium concentrations. Elasticity values did not exhibit great diversion. Inulin at concentrations of 5 and 10 wt% led to less turbid gels than those with only gellan. Samples containing 15 wt% inulin gave absorbance readings greater than 1.

In situ gellable sugar beet pectin via enzyme-catalyzed coupling reaction of feruloyl groups for biomedical applications

In situ gellable hydrogels are more attractive in many biomedical and biopharmaceutical applications than pre-formed hydrogels because they can be implanted simply by injection and allow homogeneous incorporation of bioactive materials. In this study, the potential suitability of in situ gellable sugar beet pectin (SBP) for biomedical and biopharmaceutical applications was investigated. SBP aqueous solution gelled within 1 min after addition of appropriate amounts of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and H?O? via HRP-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction of feruloyl groups on SBP molecules. The resultant gels gradually degraded under simulated physiological condition. L929 fibroblast cells encapsulated in the gels were scarcely damaged during the gelation process. A subcutaneously injected mixture of SBP, HRP and H?O? solutions successfully gelled, and the gel did not induce necrosis in the surrounding tissue 1 week after implantation. These results demonstrate that the in situ gellable SBP gels are useful for biomedical and biopharmaceutical applications.

Influence of pectin structure on texture of pectin–calcium gels

A library of pectins with varying degree and pattern of methoxylation was produced by demethoxylating a parent pectin by use of NaOH or pectinmethylesterase from plant or fungal origin. Additionally, pectin was chemically depolymerised by a heat treatment. The resulting pectins were characterised in terms of degree and pattern of methoxylation (“(absolute) degree of blockiness”) and the extent of depolymerisation. Pectin–calcium gels were prepared and their texture was studied by performing compression tests. From the resulting force vs. distance curves, the modulus of elasticity under low strain and the fracture stress and strain were determined. The modulus of elasticity under low strain increased with decreasing degree of methoxylation. At very low degree of methoxylation, gels were brittle, resulting in low fracture stress. Both modulus of elasticity and fracture stress correlated more with degree of blockiness and absolute degree of blockiness as compared to degree of methoxylation. Gel strength increased with increasing Ca²⁺ or pectin concentration. Depolymerisation of pectin resulted in formation of brittle gels.Industrial relevancePectin with low degree of methoxylation can form a gel in presence of calcium. Therefore, it is widely used in the food industry. In addition, pectin-calcium interactions are of importance for the texture of fruits and vegetables, since crosslinked pectin in the cell wall provides cell-cell adhesion and mechanical strength of tissues. This research is focused on textural characteristics of pectin-calcium gels. It is shown that pectin structural properties influence texture of gels. As a result, control of pectin structure allows fine-tuning of functional properties.
