  1. Thursday Lecture – Hydrogels, Latexes, Resins Reading: Textbook, Chapter 10

  2. ASSIGNMENT • Find labels on food products that show each of the following types of ingredients. Tape or fasten them to a piece of paper, and highlight the ingredient from each category. • Vegetable oil • Exudate Gum • Extractive Gum • Starch • Pectin • Due: Tuesday 4/19

  3. Hydrogels Water-modifying Substances  alter behavior of water Example = gravy, thickening by starch so water molecules can no longer move freely Figures 10.1, 10.2, p. 245

  4. Hydrogels • Water-modifying Substances  alter behavior of water • Example = gravy, thickening by starch so water molecules can no longer move freely • Classes of Plant-Derived Hydrogels: • Gums Figures 10.1, 10.2, p. 245

  5. Hydrogels • Water-modifying Substances  alter behavior of water • Example = gravy, thickening by starch so water molecules can no longer move freely • Classes of Plant-Derived Hydrogels: • Gums • Pectins Figures 10.1, 10.2, p. 245

  6. Hydrogels • Water-modifying Substances  alter behavior of water • Example = gravy, thickening by starch so water molecules can no longer move freely • Classes of Plant-Derived Hydrogels: • Gums • Pectins • Starches • All are polymers of sugars (= polysaccharides) Figures 10.1, 10.2, p. 245

  7. Gums Polysaccharides composed of sugars other than glucose: Arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose Figure 10.2, p. 245

  8. Gums • Polysaccharides composed of sugars other than glucose: • Arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose • water-soluble, or can absorb water Figure 10.2, p. 245

  9. Gums • Polysaccharides composed of sugars other than glucose: • Arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose • water-soluble, or can absorb water • gum + water  gel Figure 10.2, p. 245

  10. Gums • Polysaccharides composed of sugars other than glucose: • Arabinose, galactose, mannose, xylose • water-soluble, or can absorb water • gum + water  gel • - only partially digested by people, mostly no adverse effects Figure 10.2, p. 245

  11. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water

  12. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water • prevent formation of ice crystals • increase shelf life of products

  13. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water • prevent formation of ice crystals • increase shelf life of products • In medicines: • used as a binder

  14. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water • prevent formation of ice crystals • increase shelf life of products • In medicines: • used as a binder • laxatives

  15. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water • prevent formation of ice crystals • increase shelf life of products • In medicines: • used as a binder • laxatives • Industrial: • sizing material – fills in pores in paper, textiles

  16. Uses of Gums • As foods: • “texturize” foods • emulsifiers – disperse fat and protein molecules evenly in water • prevent formation of ice crystals • increase shelf life of products • In medicines: • used as a binder • laxatives • Industrial: • sizing material – fills in pores in paper, textiles • lubricants (especially in oil drilling operations)

  17. Sources of Plant Gums - Exudates • Exudate Gums: plant is injured to initiate gum production • gum arabic, Acacia senegal * gum tragacanth, Astragalus Figs. 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, p. 247-248

  18. Sources of Plant Gums - Extractives Extractive gums – from endosperm or wood of Fabaceae species Figure 10.8, p. 249 Locust bean gum – Ceratonia siliqua, Carob; St. John’s Bread * Guar gum - Cyamopsis *

  19. Xanthan Gum – Made by Bacterium, Xanthomonas campestris Fermentation Product – uses various starting materials, both plant and animal origin Polysaccharide – somewhat complex structure, useful physical properties Note – can be derived from wheat, so it can contain gluten  Should be avoided by those who are allergic to glutens

  20. Figure 10.10, p. 251 Pectins Pectins – polysaccharide composed of units of pectic acid and its derivatives Different types of pectins – vary in # molecules + methylation Pectin-rich mesocarp

  21. Figure 10.10, p. 251 Pectins Pectins – polysaccharide composed of units of pectic acid and its derivatives Different types of pectins – vary in # molecules + methylation Pectins – found in middle lamella of cell wall, epidermis Pectin-rich mesocarp

  22. Figure 10.10, p. 251 Pectins Pectins – polysaccharide composed of units of pectic acid and its derivatives Different types of pectins – vary in # molecules + methylation Pectins – found in middle lamella of cell wall, epidermis Pectin-rich mesocarp Use of pectins – mostly in jellies and jams

  24. Starches Figure 10.11, p. 252 Polymers of glucose Starch: alpha bonds between glucose molecules Cellulose: beta bonds between molecules of glucose

  25. Starches Figure 10.11, p. 252 Polymers of glucose Starch: alpha bonds between glucose molecules Cellulose: beta bonds between molecules of glucose Uses: food products, sizing

  26. Latex Latex = mixture of organic compounds produced in laticifers Laticifer = cells or groups of cells that form tubes, canals, or networks Latex may be inelastic or elastic Rubber – elastic latex composed of polymers Figs. 10.14, 10.15, p. 254

  30. Plant Resins • Resins – compounds that are synthesized and secreted into specialized canals or ducts within the plant, in xylem, phloem, or bark • Chemically: resins are polymerized terpenes, usually + volatile oils • Uses of resins: • incense (frankincense and myrrh) Figure 10.24, p. 259
