Factors Affecting Dispersibility and Hydration of Glyoxal-Treated Xanthan Gum... 

This chapter is divided into four parts. In the first part, a description of experimental studies related to water-soluble polymers is given. In the second part, factors affecting the flow behavior of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide will be examined. In the third part, the flow behavior of biopolymers (xanthan) will be reviewed. In the last part, rheological properties of hydrophobically associating polymers will be discussed. 

Factors Affecting the Biopolymer Quality in Xanthan and Other Polysaccharide Fermentations... 

Kee and Durning (1990) reviewed two principal methods of measuring yield stresses dynamic and static methods. One example of the dynamic method is the extrapolation from the flow curve. Equation (4) is often used to determine the yield stress of gum solutions. Table VIII lists the examples of yield stress of several selected food commodities measured from different methods. It is noted that for the same food product, different methods have different yield stress value. In addition to the measuring method, the embedded factor—the composition of food products—also needs to be emphasized. For instance, in mayonnaise, the concentration of oil and xanthan gum significantly affected the yield stress since it increased from...
