[Physico-chemical properties of microbial and plant polysaccharides structurants]
Abstract:
The comparative investigation of physico-chemical properties of plant (guar gum, konjac-mannan) and microbial (xanthan gum) origin structurants have been carried out. Among them, xanthan sigma (1544 mPa) and konjac-mannan (5000 mPa) have the best initial viscosity. It has been shown that due to molecular-mass characteristics xanthan (74.3%) gum, ksampan (39%) and konjac-mannan (42.1%) have the highest percentage of high-weight fractions. It has been established that mannose, glucose and galactose as well as unidentified substances are presented in different concentrations in the structure of structurants.
