Complex Coacervation Of Pea Protein Isolate And Tragacanth Gum: Comparative Study With Commercial Polysaccharides
INNOVATIVE FOOD SCIENCE & EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES(2021)
Abstract
The ability of pea protein isolates (PPI) to form complex coacervates with tragacanth gum was investigated. The coacervate formation was structurally compared to three other PPI-polysaccharide interaction models: arabic gum and sodium alginate (known to form coacervates with PPI) and tara gum, a galactomannan. The effects of the pH and protein/polysaccharide ratio were mainly investigated using turbidity and zeta potential measurements. Regarding the pH of soluble complex formation, the pH of complex coacervates increased with the increase in protein-anionic polysaccharide mixture ratio. SEM images revealed the ability of the spray-drying process to form spherical particles of pea protein-polysaccharide complexes. The specificity of the microparticle surface was protein-dependent. FTIR analyses of coacervates showed the electrostatic interaction between the PPI and the polysaccharides. The results showed that tragacanth gum could be used as an alternative to gum arabic to form complex coacervates with PPI based on zeta potential measurements and coacervation yield studies.
