Suspending power

Schulze [51] described an extensive study on C12-C14 ether carboxylic acid sodium salt (4.5 mol EO) in terms of surface tension, critical micelle concentration (CMC), wetting, detergency, foam, hardness stability, and lime soap dispersing properties. He found good detergent effect compared to the etho-xylated C16-C18 fatty alcohol (25 mol EO) independent of CaCl2 concentration, there was excellent soil suspending power, low surface tension, and fewer Ca deposits than with alkylbenzenesulfonate. 

Pectic enzymes are used commercially in the clarification of fruit juices and wines and for aiding the disintegration of fruit pulps. By reducing the large pectin molecules into smaller units and eventually into galactur-onic acid, the compounds become water soluble and lose their suspending power also, their viscosity is reduced and the insoluble pulp particles rapidly settle out. 

Suspending Power. The ability of a detergent or detergent component to keep foreign material away from the solid material from which it has been removed in order to prevent redeposition. See also Detergency, Detergent. 

Most of the uses of karaya gum are based on its ability to swell in cold water, its water-absorbing and water-binding properties, and its thickening and suspending powers.
