Corn fiber gum: A potential gum arabic replacer for beverage flavor emulsification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The US food industry would benefit from a domestically produced gum with a dependable supply and consistent quality that can be used for preparing oil-in-water (O-in-W) emulsions, such as citrus oil emulsions for beverages. Corn fiber gum (CFG) is an arabinoxylan (hemicellulose) extracted from the corn kernel pericarp and/or endosperm fiber fractions that can possibly fulfill this need. In this study two different types of CFG, CFG-1 and 2, were prepared from corn fiber collected from different wet or dry corn milling facilities by (a) sequential alkaline extraction and alkaline hydrogen peroxide bleaching and (b) an additional alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment of the alkali treated residue, respectively. CFG-1 might be linked to the cell wall matrix through ester linkages and CFG-2 by non-ester linkages and/or other strong interactions. The stabilization of O-in-W emulsions by corn fiber and acacia gums was investigated by preparing emulsions with a high pressure homogenizer and monitoring the emulsion breakage by turbidity measurements. All CFG samples were effective emulsifiers but CFG-2 extracted separately from three different corn fiber sources was determined to be a better emulsifier than the corresponding CFG-1. CFGs isolated from wet milled pericarp and endosperm fiber and wet milled pericarp fiber have a higher protein content than CFGs isolated from dry milled pericarp fiber and were determined to be better emulsifiers for the O-in-W emulsion system. The emulsifying properties of all CFGs including an industrial grade commercial CFG were determined to be better than native and modified acacia gums. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Corn fiber gum: New structure/function relationships for this potential beverage flavor stabilizer
Corn fiber arabinoxylan is a hemicellulose B isolated from the fibrous portions (pericarp, tip cap, and endosperm cell wall fractions) of corn kernels by alkaline solution, often in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and is commonly referred to as ‘‘Corn fiber gum’’ (CFG). The unique polysaccharide, CFG, with its low solution viscosity has been proposed as a good stabilizer for oil-in-water emul...
متن کاملPhysical Stability of Beverage Emulsions as Influences of Orange Oil, Tragacanth and Arabic Gums Concentrations
The objective of this study was to examine the influence of tragacanth gum concentrations on physical and mechanical properties of beverage emulsions formulated with arabic gum and orange oil. Beverage emulsions are oil-in-water emulsions and used to enhance juice-like appearance, to provide flavor and deliver functional ingredients (omega-3 fatty acids) to the beverages. Stability of beverage ...

This study investigated the emulsification properties of the native gums and those treated at high pressure (800 MPa) both at their "natural" pH (4.49 and 4.58, respectively) and under "acidic and basic" pH (2.8 and 8.0) conditions. The emulsification behaviour of KLTA gum was found to be superior to that of the GCA gum. High pressure and pH treatment changed the emulsification properties of bo...
