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

Functions

Functions & Applications

1- Adhesive - Bakery glaze

PRIMARY

Thickening agent

Gelling agent

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

Seed gum

Guar gum

GUAR GUM

(SOURCE: cyamopsis tetragonolobus)
- hydrates rapidly in cold water to give highly viscous dispersion.
-Totally soluble in cold and hot water, and gives slimy solutions.
-Good synergism with xanthan gum for extra high viscosity solutions.

STRUCTURE:

Locus Bean Gum

LOCUS BEAN GUM (SOURCE : CAROB TREE (ceretonia siliqua)

STRUCTURE:

- A galactomannan ( man : gal = 4:1)

- Molecular weight = 300,000 to 360,000
