An analytical method is described, by which nine polysaccharides used as thickeners for dairy products (locust bean gum, guar, gum arabic, tragacanth, arabinogalactan, carrageenan, furcellaran, agar, xanthan) can be identified in foods relatively rapidly and at the same time determined quantitatively. In this procedure interfering substances like fat, starch, proteins, sugars and salts are removed, the isolated polysaccharides are hydrolysed by trifluoroacetic acid and the monosaccharides resulting are measured by g.l.c. as aldonitrileacetates. The quantitative evaluation of the gas chromatograms is made by means of an internal standard and the content of thickener in the sample is calculated from one of the sugars. Recoveries of 80--90% with relative standard deviations of 5--10% were obtained when adding 0,05% of the thickeners to skim milk or 1--2% to mixtures of ice cream or pudding constituents.

Article Synopsis
- * Both treatments improved the viscosity, shear stress, and overall emulsion stability of WPI, with the greatest enhancement observed in the combination of cold extrusion and cysteine (Cys-CWPI).
- * Cys-CWPI also exhibited increased inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and xanthine oxidase, suggesting potential benefits for developing food products aimed at lowering blood sugar and uric acid levels.

In 2022, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) delivered an Opinion on the safety and efficacy of the same additive. The Panel concluded that sepiolite used as a feed additive is safe for the consumers and the environment, and efficacious as a thickener-suspending agent, binder and anticaking agent in feed for all animal species under the proposed conditions of use.

In the present study, carrageenan (CG) was combined with sodium alginate (SA), gum arabic (GA), and locust bean gum (LBG) to obtain four gum combinations (CG, CG + SA, CG + GA, and CG + LBG). The effects of different combinations on rheological properties and quiescent stabilities of PCEs were systematically investigated through characterization of fresh emulsion related parameters (rheological properties, forces between proteins, zeta potentials, surface tensions, interfacial adsorption properties, and multiple light scattering) and storage related parameters (visual appearance, creaming index, viscosities, particle sizes, and microscopic morphology). Rheological results indicated that CG PCEs had the highest apparent viscosities of 7.

The aim of this research was to create a plant-based beverage based on seeds of sunflower (), pea () and runner bean (). The selection of the ingredients was based on the main objective to obtain the nutritional value and sensory characteristics of a formed product similar to cow's milk. The ingredient proportions were created by comparing the protein, fat and carbohydrate content of seeds versus cow's milk.
