Abstract

The effect of mesquite seed gum (MSG) on the thermal behaviour and structure of kappa-carrageenan (κ-car) or xanthan gum (XG) systems by means of oscillatory shear experiments was investigated. Despite the low molecular weight of the polysaccharide of MSG its low galactose content confers to this sample a certain reactivity when mixed with κ-car or XG. The thermorheological profiles of MSGIXG or κ-car were quite comparable to those described for Guar gumlXG or κ-car blends.
