The aim of this work was to isolate pulp (PH) and seed hydrocolloids (SH) of the fruit of Hymenaea corbaril L. and determinate chemical, functional and rheological properties, as a proposal of a new attractive product for functional applications in food systems. Both hydrocolloids have a high content of carbohydrates, minerals and fiber. The solubility of PH was higher 94.1%. The emulsifying capacity of SH, PH and GG increases with the hydrocolloid concentration. The emulsions showing a good stabilization stability with drop sizes of 5-20 μm. The emulsions PH and SH at 1% were higher stability than guar gum (GG), due to slower down the cremation index after 3 days of storage at 35 and 40°C. The hydrocolloids exhibited a pseudoplastic behavior at concentrations of 0.5-2%. The elastic behavior suggests its application to edible films, while the viscous behavior suggests its incorporation in food systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
