Dangi, Nidhi | Yadav, Baljeet S.
The present study was aimed at assessing the influence of acid hydrolysis on the physicochemical and rheological properties of β-glucan concentrate. Barley β-glucan concentrate was subjected to acid hydrolysis for 30 and 60 min. The molecular weight and viscosity were observed to be a function of hydrolysis time and decreased in a duration-based approach. Significant reduction in water binding capacity and swelling power was observed after acid hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis dramatically altered the flow properties and a Newtonian behavior was observed for HBG₆₀. The oscillatory measurements revealed enhanced visco-elasticity for HBG₃₀ solutions in comparison to its native counterpart and were greatly reliant on molecular weight and concentration. DSC measurements showed reduced thermal stability of acid hydrolysates in comparison to native β-glucan concentrate. Overall, this study provides useful information on the hydration, thermal and rheological behavior of β-glucan concentrates and could be helpful in optimizing the concentration of β-glucan concentrates in food formulations.
