“…Beside tragacanth, other carbohydrates have also been reported to have molecular and functional changes as a consequence of applied mechanical forces. Those carbohydrates could be listed as: guar gum, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium carboxy-methylcellulose, gum Arabic (Villay et al, 2012), sodium alginate (Harte & Venegas, 2010;Villay et al, 2012), -carrageenan (Harte & Venegas, 2010), xanthan gum (Harte & Venegas, 2010;Lagoueyte & Paquin, 1998;Laneuville, Turgeon, & Paquin, 2013), high methoxyl pectin (Corredig & Wicker, 2001), methylcellulose (Floury, Desrumaux, Axelos, & Legrand, 2002), flaxeed gum (Wang, Li, Wang, & Xue, 2011), -glucan (Kivelä, Pitkänen, Laine, Aseyev, & Sontag-Strohm, 2010), inulin (AlvarezSabatel, Marañón, & Arboleya, 2015), and various types of starches (Che et al, 2009;Nilsson, Leeman, Wahlund, & Bergenståhl, 2006;Wang et al, 2008). In those studies, numerous designs of high pressure homogenization (HPH) units were used to implement mechanical forces as cavitation, shear and turbulence on biopolymers (Paquin, 1999;Schultz, Wagner, Urban, & Ulrich, 2004;Stang, Schuchmann, & Schubert, 2001).…”
