Investigation potential of hydrocolloids in meat analogue preparation

Somayeh Taghian Dinani et al.

Summary: The effects of different hydrocolloids on the texture and structure of meat analogues were evaluated. Xanthan, carboxymethyl cellulose, and guar gum improved the flow-oriented structure and fiber formation, but only xanthan increased water holding capacity. Xanthan also increased the anisotropy index of samples, while guar gum increased tensile stress.

The structure and dynamics of locust bean gum in aqueous solution

Adam O'Connell et al.

Summary: Locust bean gum (LBG) is widely used in various industries, and understanding its solution behaviour is crucial for formulation design. This study investigated the structure and dynamics of LBG in aqueous solution using different techniques. It was found that steady state shear rheology mainly probes the dispersed LBG fraction, while scattering response is dominated by supramolecular LBG aggregates. Three viscosity-concentration regimes were identified, with scaling behaviour consistent with predictions for neutral flexible polymers. Our study provides comprehensive insight into the structure and dynamics of aqueous LBG solutions, paving the way for a better understanding and control of LBG-based formulations.

Influence of selected gums on the foaming properties of egg white powders: Kinetics of foam formation and baking performance

Junhua Li et al.

Summary: The influence of neutral locust bean gum (LBG), guar gum (GG), and anionic xanthan gum (XG) on the foaming and baking properties of egg white (EW) powders were investigated in this study. The addition of these gums increased the surface tension, particle size, viscosity, and interfacial adsorption modulus of reconstituted EW solutions, while decreasing surface hydrophobicity. The addition of gums, especially LBG and GG, reduced the whipping time in the preparation of cake batter by facilitating the rapid infiltration of air in foam. The inclusion of neutral gums improved the baking performance of EW powders by increasing the foaming rate and capacity.

Locust bean gum provides excellent mechanical and release attributes to soy protein-based natural hydrogels

Buelent Basyigit et al.

Summary: The study focuses on designing soy protein (SP)-based natural hydrogels with the addition of locust bean gum (LBG). Different hydrogels were created using commercial carbohydrates to assess the impact of LBG. The chemical and morphological structures of the samples were analyzed. The presence of protein and carbohydrates enhanced the functional and mechanical features of the hydrogels, with LBG standing out in terms of quality.

Phenolic Profile, Antioxidant Activity, and Chemometric Classification of Carob Pulp and Products

Georgia D. Ioannou et al.

Summary: Carob and its derived products have gained attention for their health-promoting effects, mainly due to their phenolic compounds. Analysis of carob samples revealed gallic acid and rutin as the most abundant compounds, and spectrophotometric assays showed their antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content. Thermal treatment and geographical origin significantly affect the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of carob products. Chemometric analysis suggests that polyphenols and antioxidant capacity can serve as chemical markers for classifying carob and its derived products.

Re-evaluation of locust bean gum (E 410) as a food additive in foods for infants below 16 weeks of age and follow-up of its re-evaluation as a food additive for uses in foods for all population groups

Maged Younes et al.

Summary: In 2017, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) re-evaluated the safety of locust bean gum (E 410). As a result, the Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) assessed its safety as a food additive in specific infant and medical formula foods, concluding that it does not raise safety concerns based on the available data.

Rheological property, ?-carotene stability and 3D printing characteristic of whey protein isolate emulsion gels by adding different polysaccharides

Ming Li et al.

Summary: This paper investigated the rheological property, β-carotene stability and 3D printing characteristic of whey protein isolate (WPI) emulsion gels by adding guar gum (GG), locust bean gum (LBG), xanthan gum (XG) and gum arabic (GA). The results showed that all samples exhibited shear thinning behavior and elastic characteristic. XG could reduce water mobility and increase water holding capacity (WHC) of WPI emulsion gel. GG and LBG increased gel strength, hardness and gumminess, while reduced springiness, cohesiveness and chewiness of emulsion gels. GG sample had the best printing performance, more uniform network structure and better stability of β-carotene. This study provided a theoretical basis for 3D printing functional food.

Comparison of mixing and non-linear viscoelastic properties of carob germ glutelins and wheat glutenin

Gamze Yazar et al.

Summary: The rheological properties of carob germ glutelins and wheat glutenin were compared, revealing that carob germ glutelins have faster hydration, higher strain stiffening, and shear thinning behaviors compared to wheat glutenin. These findings suggest that carob germ glutelins could be used as a non-gluten protein in gluten-free dough systems to produce improved quality baked products.

Role of polysaccharide structure in the rheological, physical and sensory properties of low-fat ice cream

Xiangyu Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of polysaccharide structure on the properties of low-fat ice cream, and found that flexible polysaccharides provided better rheological and sensory characteristics, while rigid polysaccharides enhanced coldness and grittiness. Thus, polysaccharides with a flexible structure are a better choice for improving the textural and sensory properties of low-fat ice cream.

Soulef Benkadri et al.

Summary: This study used response surface methodology to optimize the addition of xanthan gum and locust bean gum to gluten-free rice flour supplemented by chickpea flour. The analysis revealed that linear terms significantly affected most parameters, with xanthan gum having a more pronounced effect, while interaction terms had a positive impact on specific volume but a negative impact on water activity of the biscuits. Overall, optimized conditions were developed to maximize specific volume and minimize water activity and hardness of the biscuits.
