Gum And Stabilizers

Gums and stabilizers are essential polysaccharides with hydroxyl groups that have the capacity to bind water, often possessing additional side chains like ester, sulfates, and acetyl.

Gum And Stabilizers

Gum And Stabilizers

What is Gum?


-Is a polysaccharides chains contain hydroxyl group which can bind to water.

- Also have side chains such as ester, sulfates and acetyl.

- Some gums are react strongly in presence of other ingredients. Example : sodium alginate does react actively with calcium.

Factors affecting gum properties

Presence of electrolyters and non-electrolytes
Age of dispersion
The presence of other hydrocolloid
Previous mechanical treatment
Previous chemical treatment
Electrical charge
Solvation
Degree of dispersion
Temperature
concentration

TYPE OF HYDROCOLLOIDS

Cellulose
modified cellulose

CELLULOSE:

-Derived using alkaline treatment which convert cellulose into an ether (e.g: CMC - sodium carboxythylcellulose and HPMC-Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.

CMC:
:Monovalent salts, soluble
:Divalent salt, hazy
:Trivalent salts, gel or precipitate
:React with proteins to increase viscosity of dispersions

CMC PROPERTIES
:Water soluble
:Pseudoplastic dispersions
:Stable at pH 5-10, best pH 7-9

CMC USAGE
: Pie filling-to prevent synersis
: Breads- Has an anti-staling effect
: Dietatic food- to provide bulk and body replacer that normally given by sucrose

*MC and HPMC formed gel when heated and return to it original liquid viscosity when cooled.

Pectin

PECTIN derived from peel of citrus fruits

STRUCTURE:
-Chain of polygalacturonic acid units
Molecular weight up to 150,000


TYPES:
-HMP (High methoxyl pectin)- DE>50%
:To form gels, soluble solid content : 55-58%, pH 2.8-3.8
:Used in jams
:Not heat reversible
: Gels at high solids and low pH

-LMP(Low methoxyl pectin)-DE<50%
:DE < 50 %
:LM are heat reversible
:-Conventional low methoxyl pectin (LMP)
-Amidiate low methoxyl pectin (ALMP)
: The presence of Ca2+ needed to form gels with low solid content and wide pH range 1-7
:ALMP is very reactive than Conventional low methoxyl pectin

USES:

-Jams
-Jellies

Bacterial gum
Xanthan gum

XANTHAN GUM

-polysaccharides produced from fermentation of CHO substrate with Xanthomonas Campestris
STRUCTURE:
-Basically a derivative cellulose

XANTHAN PROPERTIES:

-Xanthan is soluble in hot or cold water to produce dispersion of high viscosity at low concentration
-The dispersion are highly pseudo-plastic (shear-thickening)

USES:

1)Beverages
-good flavor release ( due to shear-thickening)
-Cloud stabilizers
2) Frozen food
-Pie filling-Increase freeze-thaw stability
3) Relishes
-Good acids stability
4) Xanthan -LBG gels and puddings
-Instant gels and pudding

Seaweed gum
Alginates

ALGINATE ( Source = brown seaweed, Macrocystis pyrifera)

STRUCTURE:
- D- mannuric acid, L- guluronic acid
-Poly M blocks
-Poly G blocks
-Alternating M-G blocks

PROPERTIES:

-Low molecular weight fractions
-Non-newtonian behavior increase with:
-Increasing degree of polymerizations (DP)
- Increasing concentrations
- Presence of Ca+ instead of Na+
-As temperature increase, viscosity decrease
-Good stability in the pH range 5-10
-maximum viscosity occur between pH 6-8
-Degradation occurs at low pH 1-4
-Alginate is fairy resistant to microorganism

ALGINATE GELATION:
-Ca+ gels
-Acid gels
-Combination gels
*can form heat stable gel
*Sodium alginate react strong with calcium produce alginate thick when mixed in water, but if calcium was added it will form a cold water gel.


USES:
1) Ice-cream
2) Bakery icing
3) Bakery jelly
4) Meringues
5) Salad dressing
6) Pimento stuffe olives
7) Frozen reformed onion rings
