Article Abstract
Xanthan gum can improve the freeze-thaw stability of frozen foods. However, the high viscosity and long hydration time of xanthan gum limits its application. In this study, ultrasound was employed to reduce the viscosity of xanthan gum, and the effect of ultrasound on its physicochemical, structural, and rheological properties was investigated using High-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), ion chromatograph, methylation analysis, H NMR, rheometer, etc.. The application of ultrasonic-treated xanthan gum was evaluated in frozen dough bread. Results showed that the molecular weight of xanthan gum was reduced significantly by ultrasonication (from 3.0 × 10 Da to 1.4 × 10 Da), and the monosaccharide compositions and linkage patterns of sugar residues were altered. Results revealed that ultrasonication treatment mainly broke the molecular backbone at a lower intensity, then mainly broke the side chains with increasing intensity, which significantly reduced the apparent viscosity and viscoelastic properties of xanthan gum. The results of specific volume and hardness showed that the bread containing low molecular weight xanthan gum was of better quality. Overall, this work offers a theoretical foundation for broadening the application of xanthan gum and improving its performance in frozen dough.

Hydrocolloids are utilized in starch-based foods for water-holding, thickening, and gelation, yet their molecular interactions with starch in extrusion systems remain underexplored; this study evaluates physicochemical and multiscale structural changes in extruded starch incorporating curdlan (CG) and xanthan (XG). Incorporation of CG and XG significantly counteracted the disruption of the multiscale structure of starch caused by the extrusion treatment, and increased the content of resistant starch. It reduced the content of rapidly digestible starch in extruded starch by 4.

Unlabelled: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of added ingredients such as modified starch (MS), xanthan gum (XG), sugar, (SU), salt (SA), and vinegar (VIN) on the water mobility and physicochemical properties of model tomato ketchup and to investigate the correlation between the obtained variables and serum separation. The type and concentration of ingredients added to the tomato paste (TP) had significant effects on experimental variables, including the serum separation rate, water mobility, and viscosity. Serum separation was most severe in SU and VIN- added samples and minimal in MS and XG- added samples.

Polysaccharide copolymers Conjuates have surfaced as a versatile foundation in the development of advanced smart drug delivery systems, owing to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and capacity for chemical modification. This review brings into focus the recent advances in co-polymeric drug delivery systems based on naturally occurring polysaccharides like chitosan, alginate, dextran, hyaluronic acid, pullulan, guar gum, xanthan gum, agarose, gellan gum, and starch. Their structural malleability and functionalization capabilities are emphasized to engineer therapeutic payload stability, bioavailability, and controlled release.

For purpose of overcoming the negative impact of high-dose phenols on meat quality, xanthan gum (XG), a natural anionic polysaccharide, was employed to prevent the undesirable interaction between myofibrillar protein (MP) and gallic acid (GA, 150 μmol/g) and ameliorate the gel and emulsification characteristics of MP. XG dose-dependently alleviated the structural damage of MP caused by GA and reduced protein aggregation, manifested as the decrease in surface hydrophobicity, turbidity and aggregate size (p < 0.05) and increase in α-helix content and intrinsic fluorescence.

Pores scale flows through contractions and expansions are relevant in geoengineering, microfluidics and material processing These flows experience shearing and extensional kinematics near constrictions, where polymer solutions may demonstrate instabilities that arise from the fluid's nonlinear rheological characteristics even in creeping flows. The relative effect of shearing and extension can be controlled by the flow geometry. Following our earlier reports on the constriction length (M.
