In the present work, we determined the structure-function relationships of basil seed gum (BSG) and whey protein isolate (WPI) mixtures at the start of soluble complex formation, maximum soluble complex formation and predominant thermodynamic incompatibility to understand BSG:WPI blends interaction behavior. Accordingly, turbidity and zeta potential were analyzed in the pH range of 2.0–7.0 and BSG:WPI ratios of 1:4, 1:6.6 and 1:9. Dynamic rheometry was used to evaluate samples at three different pHs. Additionally, dilute solution properties of BSG, WPI and their blends were studied at pH = 7.0. Independent of mixture ratio, all dispersions showed maximum interaction at pH = 5.0, the start of soluble complex formation around pH = 6.0 and thermodynamic incompatibility interaction behavior at pH = 7.0. Cole-Cole plots based on dynamic rheometry supported the Gibbs free energy change of mixtures based on intrinsic viscosity data. These results are important to create new structures from mixtures of proteins and polysaccharides.
