TL;DR: The chemical and physicochemical characteristics of gum exudate samples harvested from mature trees of Acacia senegal at two new specific ecolocations in Nigeria, have been investigated together with gum samples from A. senegal and A. seyal originating from Sudan.

TL;DR: Mu et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the wet-heating method could improve the rate of the graft reaction of protein and polysaccharide, and the solubility of SPI-GA conjugates was significantly higher than that of unreacted SPI-GA mixtures and SPI at the same pH values.
Abstract: Mu L., Zhao H., Zhao M., Cui Ch., Liu L. (2011): Physicochemical properties of soy protein isolatesacacia gum conjugates . Czech J. Food Sci., 29: 129–136. Protein-polysaccharide conjugates were generally prepared by dry-heating. However, it was time-consuming and the sample gained was inhomogeneous. A faster way of preparing protein-polysaccharide conjugates is needed. Accordingly, soy protein isolates (SPI)-Acacia gum (GA) conjugates prepared by the wet-heating method were studied in the present work. Physicochemical properties of SPI-GA conjugates were also determined. The results showed that the wet-heating method could improve the rate of the graft reaction of protein and polysaccharide. The solubility of SPI-GA conjugates was significantly ( P < 0.05) higher than that of unreacted SPI-GA mixtures and SPI at the same pH values. The emulsion activity index (EAI) of the grafted SPI increased remarkably. Moreover, a significant ( P < 0.05) improvement on the emulsifying stability index (ESI) was observed and emulsions with a smaller droplet size were obtained. No visible flocculation during extended storage (30 days) was observed. The time course of the development of the graft reaction of SPI with GA was also shown by SDS-PAGE.

TL;DR: The analysis of variance suggested that xanthan gum could restrict the swelling of starch granules and the destruction of granule structure more effectively than other hydrocolloids tested, owing to the efficient thickening property.

TL;DR: A high-purity (98%), water-soluble gum was extracted from taro corms ( Colocasia esculenta ) with a low-temperature extraction (4°C) and purification procedure as mentioned in this paper.
