Influence of locust bean gum on the rheological properties of kappa-carrageenan systems in the vicinity of the gel point

Structural characteristics and rheological properties of locust bean galactomannans: a comparison of samples from different carob tree populations

“…This type of behaviour is typical of pseudoplastic ow and has been reported for many hydrocolloid dispersions by other researchers. 25,26 The beginning of the pseudoplastic region was shifted towards lower shear rates in the order of increasing limiting viscosity of the samples and increasing concentration of the polymer. Moreover, the relative ranking of apparent viscosities at low shear rates (at identical polymer concentrations) resembled that of limiting viscosity values.…”

Synthesis of graft copolymers of acrylamide for locust bean gum using microwave energy: swelling behavior, flocculation characteristics and acute toxicity study

“…It is a linear polysaccharide consisting of β-(1,4)-D-mannose units and every fourth mannose units is substituted with a small side chain consisting of a 1,6 linked α-galactose sugar [2] . The ratio of D-galactose to D-mannose differs due to the varying origins of the gum materials and growth conditions of the plant during production.…”

Rheological Behaviour of Kappa‐carrageenan/Galactomannan Mixtures at a Very Low Level of Kappa‐carrageenan

“…We observed similar effects for K-w/LBG mixtures in the vicinity of the gel point. Such a slight deviation at low shear rate can be ascribed to the early beginnings of structure formation in the system (Fernandes et al 1992(Fernandes et al , 1993(Fernandes et al , 1994 which, therefore, occurs here upon the addition of = 0.02% KCI. The frequency dependence of G ' and G " for the LBG solution is illustrated in Fig.…”

“…This may suggest some kind of interaction between guar and K-car. For instance, the rheological properties of galactomannans (LBG or GG)/Kcar mixtures have been studied in the vicinity of the sol-gel transition (Fernandes et al 1992(Fernandes et al , 1993. The K-car content at which the sol-gel transition occurred was found to be constant, whatever the total polymer concentration investigated.…”
