TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of process conditions for oxidation of corn and waxy amaranth starch with film-forming ability as the major criterion was reported. But no data are reported on the exact conditions of oxidation of starch or the analytical indicators for determining the suitability of the product for such a purpose.

TL;DR: Seven hybridoma cell lines were raised that secrete monoclonal antibodies which recognize the arabinogalactan protein, gum arabic, but not gum seyal, which could be used in immunoassays for the detection and quantification of gum arABic and combretum gum in mixtures of gums.
Abstract: Seven hybridoma cell lines were raised that secrete monoclonal antibodies which recognize the arabinogalactan protein, gum arabic, but not gum seyal. Of these, there are two groups. One has a high affinity for gum arabic when tested in both plate‐trapped antigen ELISAs and competition ELISAs, and the binding of these antibodies is totally unaffected by heat treatment or pronase digestion of the gum. The other group has a lower affinity for gum arabic, and the level of binding is almost eliminated by both periodate and pronase digestion of the gum but is increased markedly when tested against heat‐treated gums. From the former group, two monoclonal antibodies, OX FB8 and SY CC7, have been identified which could be used in immunoassays for the detection and quantification of gum arabic and combretum gum in mixtures of gums. SY CC7 is highly specific for gum arabic, whereas OX FB8 recognizes both gum arabic and combretum gum, but not gum seyal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an improving agent for food capable of improving both structural properties such as expandability or flexibility and a sensory property such as taste or flavor in food product made of flour, and also of preventing reduction of quality in physical property or flavor to be caused by freezing and maintaining the physical properties after defrosting in as good state as just produced.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an improving agent for food capable of improving both a structural property such as expandability or flexibility and a sensory property such as taste or flavor in food product made of flour, etc., and also of preventing reduction of quality in physical property or flavor to be caused by freezing and maintaining the physical properties after defrosting in as good state as just produced. SOLUTION: This improving agent comprises a thickening stabilizer, saccharide and dietary fiber. The thickening agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of gum arabic, guar gum, carrageenan, xanthan gum, geran gum and dextran. The saccharide is at least one of trehalose and sucrose. As the dietary fiber, any of cellulose, pullulan and pectin is used. An usage of the improving agent is pref. in the range of 0.01 to 20 wt.% based on heat- treating food comprising flour.

TL;DR: In this article, the pectin and the gum arabic are used together as the stabilizer to provide stable milk drink without a glutinous feeling for not generating supernatant or precipitation even after heating sterilization.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stable milk drink without a glutinous feeling for not generating supernatant or precipitation even after heating sterilization by using pectin and gum arabic together as a stabilizer. SOLUTION: At the time of manufacturing an acidic milk drink, the pectin and the gum arabic are used together as the stabilizer. The acidic milk drink includes all of fermented milk, milk product lactic acid bacteria beverages and sterilized lactic acid bacterial beverages, etc., obtained by lactic acid fermentation appropriately containing sugar, acid, grease and spices, etc., as needed by using liquid milk such as soy-milk, cow milk and processed milk or milk products such as skim milk power or whole milk power. Also, the kind and origin, etc., of the pectin and the gum arabic used in this case are not specially limited and the respective kinds of items on the market can be used, however, as the pectin, the use of high-methoxy pectin whose estering degree is higher than 60% is preferable. Further, preferable pH is about 3.5-4.5 from the view point of sourness and the range is attained by the appropriate lactic acid fermentation and/or the addition of acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the viscosity and spray-dried particles for several polysaccharides were studied to investigate the possibilities as wall materials for microencapsulation, including gum arabic, maltodextrin, dextran, gum locust bean, and karaya.
Abstract: Characteristics of viscosity and spray dried particles for several polysaccharides were studied to investigate the possibilities as wall materials for microencapsulation. Viscosities of 10% maltodextrin, 10% gum arabic, 10% dextran, 1% gum locust bean, and 1% gum karaya were 2.2 mPa.s, 9.2 mPa.s, 13.0 mPa.s, 4660.0 mPa.s, and 77.0 mPa.s, respectively. In scanning electron micrographs for spray dried polysaccharides, gum arabic had spherical shapes at 20% and 30% emulsion concentration, while trailed shapes at 40%. Maltodextrin had uniform spherical shapes at 30%, while aggregated form with various kinds of capsule sizes at 40%. Dextran had spherical shapes at 20%, while trailed fibrous shapes at over 30%. Mixed polysaccharides with gum arabic:maltodextrin (1:3, w/w) had uniform spherical shapes at 20%, 30%, and 40% with increasing diameter with increasing concentration.
