TL;DR: Findings might indicate the differences between the effects of gum arabic and pectin on the stability of emulsification and the activity of lipase in vivo.
Abstract: Gum arabic, a widely used emulsifier, stabilized the substrate of lipase in an emulsion of oil and enhanced the lipase reaction. Pectin, a well-known gelling agent, destabilized the emulsion, and decreased the plasma levels of cholesterol in rats. Little effect of gum arabic on the cholesterol concentration of plasma and liver was observed. These findings might indicate the differences between the effects of gum arabic and pectin on the stability of emulsification and the activity of lipase in vivo.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of O-carboxymethylation modification on the coacervation of chitosan with gum arabic (GA) were investigated.
Abstract: The effects of O-carboxymethylation modification on the coacervation of chitosan with gum arabic (GA) were investigated. O-carboxymethylated chitosan (O-CMC) carried less net positive charge in acidic solutions and its optimum pH and biopolymer ratio for coacervation with GA were lower than those of native chitosan. O-carboxymethylation modification decreased the optimum coacervation temperature from 45 to 25°C and greatly increased the sensitivity to ionic strength. Meanwhile, insoluble O-CMC–GA coacervates were formed in relative lower critical total biopolymer concentration than chitosan–GA coacervates. It was concluded that the O-carboxymethylation modification markedly influenced the electrostatic interaction of chitosan with GA.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of vanillin entrapped within the spherical aggregates obtained from amaranth (Amaranthus paniculatus L.), quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.) and colocasia (Colocasia esculenta L.) in the presence of gum Arabic, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carrageenan at 0.1-1.0% as bonding agents, were obtained by spray drying a 20% (w/w) starch dispersion at
