FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to modified gum arabic, widely used as an emulsifying agent, thickener, coating agent, binder and capsule material. Description is given of water soluble modified gum arabic from Acacia Senegal, with weight-average molecular weight of not less than 0.9 million Da and RMS-radius of circular motion of arabinogalactan-protein from 46.3-138 nm. The proposed gum arabic has high content of arabinogalactan-protein and better emulsification properties, emulsion stability, film-forming, encapsulating and adhesive capabilities.
EFFECT: higher content of arabinogalactan-protein and better emulsification properties, emulsion stability, film-forming, encapsulating and adhesive capabilities.
