Hydrocolloids have many applications in foods including their use in dysphagia diets. We aimed to evaluate whether hydrocolloids in foods affect the digestibility of starch and protein, and their effects on antioxidant capacity. The thickening hydrocolloids: locust bean gum and carboxymethyl cellulose, and the gel-forming agents: agar agar, konjacglucomannan, and Hot & Soft Plus were blended with corn starch and soy protein, skim milk, or grape juice and were examined for their in vitro-digestability by comparing the reducing sugar and trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptide, for antioxidant capacity by total polyphenol contents and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity. The hydrocolloids resulted in a decrease in starch digestibility with the gel-forming agents. Hydrocolloids diminished TCA-soluble peptides in skim milk compared to soy protein with the exception of locust bean gum and decreased free radical scavenging capacities and total phenolic contents in grape juice. Our findings may provide evidence for the use of hydrocolloids for people at risk of nutritional deficiencies such as dysphagia patients.

This study was conducted to observe the effects of partial replacement of mungbean starch(MB) with dent(DT) or cross-linked(CL) corn starches, and of added hydrocolloids on the characteristics of mungbean starch and the mook. The replacement with CL caused less changes compared to that with DT in phase transition enthalpy of MB measured with defferential scanning calorimeter. The viscosity of MB paste cooled to $50^{\circ}C$ after heating was also affected less with CL than with DT. The addition of hydrocolloids to mixed starches of MB and CL did not affect initial viscosity increase but resulted in marked increase in viscosity at later stage of heating. Mixed monks with CL were more similar to MB monks than those with DT. Hydrocolloids added to MB-CL mixture further decreased the gap between monks with and without CL.

Using market-selling rice flour, four rice wet noodles were prepared with three hydrocolloids: wheat flour, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and potato starch at different levels based on pre-test, and the physical and sensory properties of the noodles were measured and compared. The rice noodle with hydrocolloids showed much higher peak and final viscosity than wheat flour noodle (control). Rice noodle also showed higher hardness, cohesiveness and springiness than control in textural properties, however, the noodle with the highest hydrocolloids (wheat flour 15%, HPMC 12.5%, potato starch 17,5%) showed lowest cohesiveness and springiness values among samples. By sensory evaluation, the rice noodle with 15% wheat flour, 8.5% HPMC, 17.5% potato starch showed the highest scores in appearance, taste, texture and acceptability. HPMC in noodles seemed to influence on the noodle quality than potato starch or wheat flour. For making rice noodle, adequate level of hydrocolloids could improve noodle quality such as viscoelasticity, however, excess addition made the noodle coarse.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences of hydrocolloids on suppression of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake. Hydrocolloids were influenced to the textural characteristics of the Korean rice cake. In particular arabic gum and carrageenan had the effect of suppressing the retrogradation. Cohesiveness of the Korean rice cake added with hydrocolloids was shown to be high compared to control in organoleptic characteristics. Hydrocolloids exhibited slightly effective in retarding surface color change of the Korean rice cake. Onset temperature of gelatinization in thermal characteristics showed somewhat low in case of addition of arabic gum into the Korean rice cake and was followed by carrageenan, guar gum, gelatin and locust bean gum in onset temperature of gelatinization order. All samples added with hydrocolloids had low values in change of melting enthalphy and their range was 12.8 ∼ 17.7 J/g. The Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was lowest in melting enthalphy. The recrystallinity of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum was greatly low compared to rice cake without hydrocolloids. Melting spreadability of the Korean rice cake added with arabic gum or carrageenan was superior in thermal characteristics. The value of exponent of Avrami was 0.97 ∼ 1.12 in study of Avrami equation. In conclusion carrageenan and arabic gum would have a suppressive effect of retrogradation in the Korean rice cake.

Rice dumpling shells were prepared with different levels of hydrocolloids, such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), and potato starch. After steaming, the physical, sensory, and cooking properties of the shells were measured. Increasing the amount of potato starch decreased the pasting temperature and increased the peak viscosity. With the addition of hydrocolloids, water absorption and cooking loss for the rice dumpling shells decreased significantly. For the textural properties, the rice dumpling shells with hydrocolloids showed lower hardness and higher springiness than the control, and especially, 10% potato starch and 3% HPMC addition (P10H3) improved the texture of the rice dumpling shells the most. The sensory results seemed to be affected more by the addition of potato starch than HPMC, and over 15% addition of potato starch significantly decreased the quality of the rice dumpling shells. By addition of adequate amount of hydrocolloids (3% HPMC and 10% potato starch), the sensory quality of rice dumpling shells can be effectively improved.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of hydrocolloids such as arabic gum, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and pectin on the quality and sensory properties of frozen-par baked baguettes according to frozen storage periods. Exactly 0.2 and 0.5% hydrocolloids were added to the baguettes based on flour. Specific loaf volume, hardness, moisture content, and sensory evaluation of baguettes were analyzed. Specific loaf volume of baguette with added 0.2% CMC was the highest after 3 weeks of storage at $-18^{\circ}C$. Moisture contents were not significantly different between control and experimental baguettes. In terms of hardness, baguette with added 0.2% pectin had the lowest value after 3 weeks of storage at $-18^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation, baguette with 0.2% pectin among hydrocolloids had the highest score for external and internal properties, as well as total acceptance. Consequently, 0.2% pectin increased the quality of baguette.

This study investigated the formation of rice dumpling skins with various food additives to improve their texture. Rice (Millyang260 and Hanarum) was obtained from the Rural Development Administration. Rice was milled through an air classifying mill (ACM), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), xanthan gum, guar gum, carrageenan, or propylene glycol alginate (PGA) was used as food additives. The effects of hydrocolloids on textural were evaluated and rice dumpling skin prepared with additives showed significantly higher values than the control for cooking properties and texture. The presence of hydrocolloids in rice dumpling skin appeared to decrease its weight and volume after cooking. Textural properties of rice dumpling skin with hydrocolloids were similar to the control regardless of cooking condition.

This study was carried out to investigate rheological properties of bread dough by adding hydrocolloids such as arabic gum, pectin and carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC). 0.2% and 0.5% of each hydrocolloid were added to the dough. Farinograph, pH of dough, extensograph, fermometer and amylograph were analyzed. In farinograph, water absorption rate of dough was increased by adding hydrocolloids and the highest water absorption resulting in 70.8% was shown by adding 0.5% of CMC. Dough development time increased but stability decreased. pH of dough was lowered by adding hydrocolloids and pH of dough with 0.5% of pectin was the lowest. In extensograph, resistance of dough decreased but extensibility increased and R/E value lowered. In fermometer, $CO_2$ gas production increased and dough with 0.2% of CMC showed the largest gas production. In amylograph, initial gelatinization temperature increased by $0.5-1.5^{\circ}C$, but temperature for maximum viscosity was lowered by $1-1.5^{\circ}C$ and maximum viscosity was increased.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect on quality of low fat pork patties containing various hydrocoloids such as sodium alginate, carboxymethy1 cellulose (CMC) and zanthan gum. Moisture contents of raw, cooked and reheated patties of control patty (20% fat) were lower than those of the hydrocolloids-added patties, and fat content patties was higher than other patties. Colors of raw and reheated patties were not different among four kinds of patties, but L-value of cooked patty adding sodium alginate and b-value of control patty were low significantly in comparison with other patties. Cooking and final yield of hydrocolloids-added patties was high significantly in comparison with control patty. Fat retention of cooked control patty was lower than hydrocolloids-added patties, and fat retentions of retention four kinds of patties were 89.7~93.1%. Hardness of cooked and reheated patties adding xanthan gum was low significantly in comparison with other patties, and chewiness was high in theorder of control patty, CMC, sodium alginate and xanthan gum. In case of water holding capacity, cooked and reheated hydrocolloids-added patties, and juiciness was superior in the order of xanthan gum, sodium alginate, CMC and control patty. On the whole, textural and sensory characteristics of patties containing hydrocolloids were superior to control patty.

The principal objective of this study was to assess the effects of hydrocolloids(xanthan gum, guar gum, sodium alginate, k-carrageenan, carboxy-methyl cellulose) on the suppression of retrogradation in the bread. The pasting properties of the doughs and the sensory properties were determined in the bread samples, to which xanthan gum, guar gum, sodium alginate, k-carrageenan, and CMC, were added at different ratios(0.2%, 0.6%, 1%). CMC and k-carrageenan with 0.6% level were selected for the further retrogradation studies. Changes in the firmness of the bread samples at room temperature for 15 days were assessed using a texture analyzer, and the type of retrogradation was calculated via the Avrami equation. The thermal properties of the samples were also determined via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The addition of hydrocolloids was shown to increase the viscosities of the doughs. Setback and breakdown viscosity were reduced significantly via the addition of CMC(0.6%, 1%), xanthan gum(1%), and k-carrageenan(1%). Sensory hardness was significantly increased when 1% hydrocolloids were added. Our textural analysis showed that the addition of CMC reduced the firmness of the bread, whereas k-carrageenan didn't. However, the retrogradation rate was reduced via the addition of k-carrageenan, as was also demonstrated in the results of our DSC analysis.
