β¦ Synopsis
Recent developments from 1997 to 2000 in hydrocolloid gels which consist of dispersed phase (polysaccharide or protein) and dispersing medium (water) are reviewed in the present paper. Gels and gelling processes of polysaccharides such as gellan gum, methylcellulose, xyloglucan, curdlan, konjac glucomannan and starch are described. Fluid gels and galactomannan gels prepared by freeze-thaw cycling are also described. Effects of pH and ionic strength on the gelation of proteins such as casein and P-lactoglobulin are described. Fractal treatment is introduced to study the structure-property relationship for globular protein gels. Gels formed by different hydrocolloids are also described briefly.

Complex gelatin-alginate gels prepared from insoluble (type I) and soluble (type 11) complexes are studied by the therniomechanical technique and by polarimetry. Gels of both types are thermoirreversible at concentrations higher than 6% and at weight fractions of alginate of 0.3 or higher. Suppressi
