Abstract
The power law ηrel ∼ Ca of maltodextrins with higher entanglement concentrations (Ce) of dextrose equivalent (DE) 4, 10, and 18 exhibits an unusually high exponent a, ranging from 10.34 to 14.38 in congested solutions where particles occupy significant space. This contrasts with the dilute exponents (a ∼2) typically observed in polymer–solvent systems. To address this issue, several viscosity factors were evaluated using the Einstein–Roscoe and Mooney equations, which demonstrated viscosity dependence due to volume fraction (ϕ) > 0.35, shape, crowding factor (k) packing factor (1/k∼0.5) and centered cubic cell (CC), particularly for larger chain sizes (>20 glucoses) in DE-4. Chain electrical charges significantly stiffen the chain and increase its length beyond the theoretically predicted Kuhn persistent length (Lp), which seems to be responsible for the exponential increase in viscosity. Normalizing the viscosity/charge data revealed a log–log plot consistent with the exponent a of the general power law theory. In addition to concentration, electrospinning processing is influenced by strong particle–particle charge interactions, (ϕ), packing factor (1/k), CC, and chain sizes. The Maxwell model demonstrated poor interaction for DE-4 (modulus ∼286 Pa at maximum ϕ due to loose packing of CC, in contrast to DE-18, which exhibited a modulus of 994 Pa for a solution with maximum ϕ> 0.5 and a congested solution of 52% w/v, packing factor of 0.68, and high particle–particle interaction of the body-centered cubic (BCC) cell, favoring electrospun fiber formation. The packing factor, ϕ, and cell type, are highly sensitive and have potential applications in food systems, 3D bioprinting, among many other scientific domains.
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.
