Industrial Gums: Polysaccharides and their Derivatives, Second Edition covers the biochemical approaches to the modification and production of natural synthetic gums. This book is organized into two main parts encompassing 31 chapters. The first part deals with natural gums, including seaweed extracts, plant exudates and extracts, seed gums, and animal extracts. Considerable chapters in this part discuss the preparation, structure, derivatives, biosynthesis, and economics of these natural gums. The second part explores the industrial production, structure, and properties of synthetic gums, such as scleroglucan, dextrans, and starch and cellulose derivatives. Scientists, research workers, and manufacturers of both natural and synthetically prepared gums will find this book invaluable.

This standard reference covers the sources, manufacture, specifications, chemistry, physical properties, and current and potential uses of gums. It provides an outline of gums and their uses as well as an understanding of why gums behave in different ways, giving the reader an ability to select the best gum for a particular purpose. Chapters have been constructed to provide balanced information and chapter authors have been selected because of outstanding competence in their specialized areas. Industrial Gums is a useful reference for students and industrial researchers and engineers in chemical, industrial, and applied engineering, biochemistry, food technology, materials chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biopolymers.

The latest volume in the successful Special Publication Series captures the most recent research findings in the field of food hydrocolloids. The impressive list of contributions from international experts includes topics such as: * Hydrocolloids as dietary fibre * The role of hydrocolloids in controlling the microstructure of foods * The characterisation of hydrocolloids * Rheological properties * The influence of hydrocolloids on emulsion stability * Low moisture systems * Applications of hydrocolloids in food products Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry 12, with its wide breadth of coverage, will be of great value to all who research, produce, process or use hydrocolloids, both in industry and academia.

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the technological applications of these fascinating materials. It introduces sources, structures, properties, and food uses, and describes gums in non-food areas, their applications and their multi-disciplinary contribution to these fields, as well as examples of their uses.

Gums are plant flours (like starch or arrowroot) that make foods & other products thick. Gums are used in foods for many reasons besides being used as a thickener. Gums are important ingredient in producing food emulsifier, food additive, food thickener & other gum products. The main reason for adding a gum or hydrocolloid to a food product is to improve its overall quality. India is the largest producer of gums specially guar gum products. Similarly stabilizers are an indispensable substance in food items when added to the food items, they smoothens uniform nature and hold the flavouring compounds in dispersion. Gum technology stabilizers are carefully controlled blends of various food ingredients. Most processed foods need some sort of stabilization at some point during production, transportation, storage and serving. The science and technology of hydrocolloids used in food and related systems has seen many new developments and advances over recent years. The breadth and depth of knowledge of gums and stabilizers has increased tremendously over the last two decades, with researchers in industry and academia collaborating to accelerate the growth. Gums as food constituents or as food additives can influence processing conditions in the following ways; retention of water, reduction of evaporation rates, alteration of freezing rates, modification of ice crystal formation and participation in chemical reactions. Some of the fundamentals of the book are functions of gum, typical food applications, gums in food suspensions, rheology and characters of gums, natural product exudates, flavor fixation, ice cream, ices and sherbets, gelation of low methoxyl pectin, seaweed extracts, microbial gums, transformation of collagen to gelatin, cellulose gums, dairy food applications, bakery product applications, analysis of hydrocolloids, gums in food products, general isolation of gums from foods, identification of gums in specific foods, group analysis and identification schemes, group identification methods, qualitative group analysis etc. This book contains rheology of gums, plant sheet gums, microbial gums, cellulose gums and synthetic hydrocolloids different stabilizers used in food industry. The book will be very resourceful to all its readers, new entrepreneurs, scientist, food technologist, food industries etc. TAGS Best small and cottage scale industries, Beverage Stabilizers - Food Ingredients, Business guidance on gums for food industry, Business guidance on Stabilizers for Food industry, Business Plan for a Startup Business, Business start-up, Cellulose gum food applications, Cellulose Gum Hydrocolloids, Cellulose gum Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Applications, Food gums & stabilizers, Food Industry Ingredients (Hydrocolloids), Food Ingredients - Gums and Stabilizers, Food Stabilisers, Gelatin manufacturing process, Gelatin production process, Gelita - How is Gelatin made, Get started in small scale gums and stabilizers manufacturing, Great Opportunity for Startup, Gums & Stabilizers, Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry, Gums and stabilizers Based Small Scale Industries Projects, Gums and stabilizers Business for food industry, Gums and Stabilizers for the Food Industry, Gums and stabilizers manufacturing, Gums and stabilizers production Industry in India, Gums and stabilizers Small Business Manufacturing, Gums for food industry, How gelatin is made - production process, How to make seaweed extract, How to Manufacture Gums and Stabilizers, How to start a gums and stabilizers Production Business, How to start a successful gums and stabilizers business for food industry, How to start gums and stabilizers production Industry in India, Hydrocolloid Applications: Gum technology in the food, Hydrocolloids and gums, Hydrocolloids as Food Emulsifiers and Stabilizers, Industrial Gelatin Manufacture, Industrial Pectins: Sources, Production and Applications, Larch gum Production, Making Seaweed Extract, Manufacture and Properties of Liquid Seaweed Extracts, Manufacture of Gelatin, Manufacturing Process of Cellulose Gum, Microbial Gum Production, Modern small and cottage scale industries, Most Profitable gums and stabilizers production Business Ideas, Natural gum, New small scale ideas in gums and stabilizers production industry, Opening your gums and stabilizers production Business, Pectin production – Food Ingredients, Pectin production plant, Pectin production technology, Pectin uses, Plant seed gums, Process for the production of gelatin, Profitable small and cottage scale industries, Profitable Small Scale gums and stabilizers manufacturing, Project for startups, Seaweed extract manufacturing process, Seed Gums Food and Agriculture, Setting up of gums and stabilizers manufacturing Units, Small scale Commercial gums and stabilizers making, Small scale gums and stabilizers production line, Small Scale gums and stabilizers production Projects, Stabiliser (food), Stabilizer in Food Applications, Stabilizers for Food, Starting a gums and stabilizers manufacturing Business, Start-up Business Plan for gums and stabilizers manufacturing, Startup ideas, Startup Project, Startup Project for gums and stabilizers Production, Startup project plan, The Manufacture of Pectin
