Relationship of rheological and microstructural properties with physical stability of potato protein-based emulsions stabilized by guar gum

Despite potato protein is a great potential ingredient in food products due to its nutritional quality, it is not useful for the formation of sufficiently stable emulsions. For this reason, a widely used polysaccharide in the food industry, Guar gum, was added. The addition of guar gum to potato pro...

Sumario:Despite potato protein is a great potential ingredient in food products due to its nutritional quality, it is not useful for the formation of sufficiently stable emulsions. For this reason, a widely used polysaccharide in the food industry, Guar gum, was added. The addition of guar gum to potato protein-based emulsions results in enhanced stability as demonstrated by the cooperative information provided by the combination of different techniques (rheology, optical microscopy and multiple light scattering). We established a relationship between a critical time for the onset of creaming and two rheological functions, namely the zero shear viscosity and the storage modulus. In addition, we propose a fast rheological method consisting of non-linear creep tests to detect shear-induced microstructural transitions.
