Abstract
Novel naturally sourced polysaccharides are gaining attention for their safety and improvement in food texture. This study investigated the correlations between the structural characteristics and physicochemical properties of dextran GS128 derived from Leuconostoc citreum SH12, and assessed its applicability in three-dimensional (3D) printed whole grain and legume-based (whole grain oat, chickpea and soybean) foods designed for dysphagia patients. The findings revealed that GS128 had a non-crystalline amorphous nature and high thermostability, suggesting its food processing potential. GS128 aqueous solution showed shear thinning and elastic gel behavior, and excellent thixotropic and structural recovery properties, and their effects were positive dose-dependent at the concentration of 4∼10 wt%, which were determined by its nearly linear structure mainly composed of 87.74% α-(1 → 6) linkages with a high molecular weight of 3.02 × 108 Da. Moreover, the addition of 4∼10 wt% GS128 not only retained the shape of 3D printed whole grain and legume food, but also improved the swallowability by 33.26–74.60% compared with food without GS128, indicating the usage potential for dysphagia people. Overall, GS128 as a texture modifier has significant potential for application in the food industry, especially in the development of 3D-printed dysphagia diets.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
