Physicochemical, interfacial and emulsifying properties of a non-conventional exudate gum (Prosopis alba) in comparison with gum arabic
Physicochemical and emulsifying properties of a novel exudate gum from Prosopis alba (G) were assessed in comparison with the well-known arabic gum (GA). Compositional analysis, intrinsic viscosity and structural characterization as well as gum emulsifying properties (evaluated in terms of mean drop...
