BACKGROUND Chlorophyte microalgae have a cell wall containing a large quantity of cellulose Iα with a triclinic unit cell hydrogen-bonding pattern that is more susceptible to hydrolysis than that of the cellulose Iβ polymorphic form that is predominant in higher plants. This study addressed the enzymatic hydrolysis of untreated Chlorella homosphaera biomass using selected enzyme preparations, a...

The aim of this work is to understand the effects of the rheological and interfacial properties of a model food on continuous foaming operation in laminar flow conditions. The rheological properties of food model (glucose syrup) were adjusted using three polysaccharides: xanthan, LM pectin and guar. Interfacial properties were varied using two kinds of proteins: Na-caseinates and whey proteins ...
