Rheological, Textural and Flavour Properties of Yellow Mustard Sauce as Affected by Modified Starch, Xanthan and Guar Gum
Influence of a modified starch-gum thickening system on the rheological, textural and flavour properties of yellow mustard sauce was studied. The rheological measurements indicated that the sauces exhibited a weak gel-like, strong shear thinning behaviour. Dynamic viscoelasticity measurements showed that the sauces with modified starch (MS) and xanthan gum (XG) presented superior viscoelastic properties to those with MS and guar gum (GG) samples. All tested sauces showed non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic and thixotropic fluids characteristics. Parameters such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and spreadability were used to evaluate the textural properties, and the results indicated that MS/XG was more influential than MS/GG on the textural properties. Sensory analysis suggested that 0.4 % MS/0.3 % XG, 0.4 % MS/0.4 % XG and 0.4 % MS/0.4 % GG were superior thickeners for the yellow mustard sauces. The flavours of these three sample groups with the highest sensory scores and a sample with only MS were analysed by an electronic nose, which showed that the electronic nose was able to distinguish their differences
Dynamic and steady: shear rheological properties of xanthan and guar gums dispersed in yellow passion fruit pulp (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa)
Yellow passion fruit pulp is unstable, presenting phase separation that can be avoided by the addition of hydrocolloids. For this purpose, xanthan and guar gum [0.3, 0.7 and 1.0% (w/w)] were added to yellow passion fruit pulp and the changes in the dynamic and steady - shear rheological behavior evaluated. Xanthan dispersions showed a more pronounced pseudoplasticity and the presence of yield stress, which was not observed in the guar gum dispersions. Cross model fitting to flow curves showed that the xanthan suspensions also had higher zero shear viscosity than the guar suspensions, and, for both gums, an increase in temperature led to lower values for this parameter. The gums showed different behavior as a function of temperature in the range of 5 - 35ºC. The activation energy of the apparent viscosity was dependent on the shear rate and gum concentration for guar, whereas for xanthan these values only varied with the concentration. The mechanical spectra were well described by the generalized Maxwell model and the xanthan dispersions showed a more elastic character than the guar dispersions, with higher values for the relaxation time. Xanthan was characterized as a weak gel, while guar presented a concentrated solution behavior. The simultaneous evaluation of temperature and concentration showed a stronger influence of the polysaccharide concentration on the apparent viscosity and the G' and G" moduli than the variation in temperature
