Abstract
The effects of guar gum (GG), xanthan gum (XG), carrageenan gum (CG), xanthan-guar gum blend (XG-GG), chitosan (CS), gum arabic (GA) on the water migration, rheological and 3D printing properties of β-carotene loaded yam starch-based hydrogel (BCH) were investigated to expand product form of β-carotene. The results showed that CS addition promoted the migration of weakly bound water to tightly bound water in BCH. Addition of GG, CG, XG-GG, CS and GA enhanced apparent viscosity, G', G'', hardness and gumminess of BCH. CG, XG-GG, CS and GA addition improved printing stability of BCH. The printed objects added with GG and CS displayed smooth lines with fine resolution and higher formability, which showed a more uniform pore distribution and thinner gel skeleton structure. The results of XRD showed that hydrocolloids addition decreased the relative crystallinity of BCH. A combination of physicochemical parameters could be used to discriminate samples through hierarchical cluster analysis.
