Gum arabic finds extensive application and typically undergoes sterilization prior to utilization in the food industry. This study explored the impact of steam sterilization temperature and duration on the physicochemical and emulsification characteristics of gum arabic, accompanied by proposed mechanisms elucidating observed effects. The results showed that when gum arabic was treated with high temperature sterilization (110 °C ∼ 140 °C), the emulsion prepared turned unstable. The interfacial tension decreased from 8.26 mN/m to 6.77 mN/m after sterilization, while the elastic modulus decreased from 23.65 mN/m to 16.16 mN/m. Moreover, the circular dichroic chromatographic results indicated that the arabinogalactan protein (AGP) structure of gum arabic was more relaxed after high temperature treatment with β-sheets content decreased from 36.2 % to 29.8 % and random coil content increased from 41.3 % to 51.8 %. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) results demonstrated that emulsion surface film thickness and toughness decreased after sterilization treatment of gum arabic. The study indicates that high temperature sterilization may change protein structure in gum arabic and reduce the stability of prepared emulsions.

Natural apple essence (AE) has been widely used as a flavor enhancer due to its distinct aroma and taste, but its high volatility restricts its broader applications in food products. This study addresses the need for an effective microencapsulation technique to overcome the volatility of AE. The objective was to optimize and characterize the AE microencapsulation using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), gum arabic (GA), and montmorillonite (MMT) as wall materials.

Article Synopsis
- Whey protein is a nutritious animal protein, but its usefulness in food systems is limited by its sensitivity to environmental factors.
- The study explores using radio frequency heating to couple whey protein with gum Arabic, significantly improving their functional properties compared to traditional water bath heating.
- Results showed that the RF heating increased the glycosylation degree, enhancing emulsifying, foaming, and antioxidant qualities of the protein-gum conjugates.

The microencapsulation of Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus GG in a matrix of sodium alginate, xanthan gum, gum arabic and chitosan hydrochloride is a promising strategy for protecting this probiotic during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. This study evaluated the influence on the viability of Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus GG encapsulated with these polymers by external ionic gelation with vibratory extrusion and the microcapsules that showed the best results of capsulation efficiency, viability, size and morphology were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA) and exposure to environmental stress conditions and gastrointestinal simulation. The result revealed encapsulation efficiency values above 95 % for all formulations and survival rate higher than 6 log CFU/mL for most analyzed groups.
