Abstract

Brea gum (BG) is an underexplored polymer with promising functional properties. While structurally similar to gum arabic, BG contains a higher protein fraction (5.9–7.5 %), which enhances its interfacial activity, improving emulsifying and encapsulating performance. These characteristics position BG as a potential, more cost-effective alternative to gum arabic, whose widespread use is often limited by high and unstable pricing.

基于一种新型天然聚合物（布雷亚胶）的复合凝聚体系，用于包封疏水材料

布雷亚胶（BG）是一种未被充分开发的具有良好功能特性的聚合物。虽然结构与阿拉伯胶相似，但BG含有更高的蛋白质含量（5.9 - 7.5%），这增强了其界面活性，改善了乳化和包封性能。这些特点使BG成为一种潜在的、更具成本效益的阿拉伯胶替代品，后者的广泛使用往往受到价格高且不稳定的限制。
