Part of the data presented in this paper was included in a poster entitled Studies on kefir grains: microbiological characterization, biomass increase rate, and rheology of the polysaccharide produced, which was presented at the Prof. Nicolau van Uden Portuguese Symposium of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology – First Symposium on Yeasts, February 1993, Luso, Portugal. ; The native bacteria and yeasts prese...
Mixed gels of xanthan gum and galactomannans (guar, whole and fractionated locust bean gum — LBG) were compared by means of oscillatory shear measurements. Whatever the LBG fraction, a synergistic maximum was observed when the ratio of xanthan to galactomannan was 1:1. However, the magnitude of this maximum varied with the LBG fraction used. The thermal behaviour of 1:1 xanthan/LBF fractions was characterized b...
Galactomannan samples of different origins (guar gum, tara gum, and locust-bean gums), with mannose-to-galactose (M/G) ratios from 1·7 to 4·8, have been characterized. They exhibited strong differences with respect to their molecular weight and their fine structure (M/G). The different locust-bean-gum samples differed significantly in this respect from each other. All galactomannans were submitted to periodate ...
Poster presentation at ‘Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry-7’, July, 1993 ; Kappa-carrageenan/locust bean gum interactions at the minimum gelling concentration have been studied by dynamic and viscosity measurements at 15°C. Both rheological methods used have been shown to be complementary. The existence of a weak network structure exhibiting thixotropic behaviour has been observed. The formation of th...
The gelation properties of whey proteins alone and in presence of NaCl, KCl, CaCl2 and L-lysine upon heating to 80°C were characterised at pH 7 by oscillatory shear measurements. At the sol—gel transition, the whey protein system gave G′(ω) and G″(ω) curves with a slope of 0.5–0.6. For higher concentrations the gel behaviour was typical for an homogeneous network and whey protein gels present a gel structure wi...
