The objective of this research was to establish effects of selected process parameters (component ratio, pH, shear) on the properties of alginate (Alg)/beta lactoglobulin (beta lg) mixtures. Effects were assessed by measuring apparent viscosity, particle size, zeta-potential, hydrophobicity and conformational changes (FTIR). Intrinsic viscosity and critical concentrations were also investigated. Intrinsic viscosity of individual Alg and beta lg solutions increased with pH. Shearing of Alg/beta lg mixtures resulted in greater apparent viscosity at pH 3 which declined proportional to increase in pH. Particle size and surface hydrophobicity were higher at pH 3 and directly related to Alg concentration. Shear induced changes were observed in the secondary structure of beta lg in the beta lg/Alg mixtures associated with beta-sheet conformations shifting from 1635.64 to 1633.71/cm and occurred-only at pH 5. Under certain conditions, application of shear could manipulate and create different structures from these two biopolymers. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
