Abstract

Kappa-carrageenan/locust bean gum interactions at the minimum gelling concentration have been studied by dynamic and viscosity measurements at 15°C. Both rheological methods used have been shown to be complementary. The existence of a weak network structure exhibiting thixotropic behaviour has been observed. The formation of the weak network is discussed.
