The study compared the impact of different sources of beta-glucans on acidified milk gel, revealing that curdlan and scleroglucan produced pseudoplastic fluid while adding scleroglucan and oat beta-glucan facilitated coagulation.
The aim of the study was a comprehensive, comparative study evaluating the impact of the addition level (0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%) of highly purified beta-glucans isolated from bacteria (curdlan), fungi (scleroglucan) and oats on the stability, rheological and microstructural properties of milk gel during acidification with glucono-delta-lactone. Viscosity and susceptibility to shear thinning were lowest in aqueous solutions containing oat beta-glucan (OBG) and highest in solutions containing curdlan. Regardless of their addition level, curdlan and scleroglucan produced pseudoplastic fluid. Coagulation was most rapidly induced by sclemglucan, and it was most delayed under the influence of OBG. The susceptibility of acidified milk gel to phase separation was significantly influenced by the hydration properties and source of beta-glucan. Acidification of gels with the lowest concentration (0.125%) of sclemglucan and OBG promoted aggregation of the caseins and then phase separation. This behaviour was not observed in gels containing linear beta-glucan (curdlan). The images acquired under a confocal microscope revealed that the all analysed preparations significantly affected the formation of protein complexes whose size and shape were closely linked with the type of added beta-glucan. The morphology of samples containing curdlan most closely resembled the structure of the control gel. The addition (up to 0.5%) of scleroglucan and OBG resulted in a gel with low stability. Separate protein structures and clusters of beta-glucan were found. The addition of higher levels of beta-glucan resulted in a more homogeneous microstructure of the product, which was similar to the control acidified gels.
