Abstract
The molar mass and theological properties of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 were investigated. The molar mass was determined by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multiangle light scattering and refractive index detection. The EPS was observed to be a flexible chain polymer with a molar mass value of 4 x 10(6) g mol(-1). Heating the sample at 80 degrees C for 10 min caused a shift to lower hydrodynamic radius. The theological behaviour of the EPS was compared to that of a commercial cereal beta-glucan (0.359 x 10(6) g mol(-1)). The maximum storage modulus, G'(max) for EPS solution was lower than that for the cereal beta-glucan at all concentrations, while the relaxation time, t(G'=G") was... (More)

The theological behaviour of the EPS was compared to that of a commercial cereal beta-glucan (0.359 x 10(6) g mol(-1)). The maximum storage modulus, G'(max) for EPS solution was lower than that for the cereal beta-glucan at all concentrations, while the relaxation time, t(G'=G") was higher. The G'(max) was reduced on heating the EPS solution at 80 degrees C for 10 min, likely indicating some conformational changes. Three-dimensional models of the polymers revealed some differences in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The EPS molecule had a ropy nature in solution and this could make it suitable for usage as a thickener in food systems. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (Less)
