In this study the effect of Lepidium perfoliatum seed gum on the properties of whey protein concentrate (WPC) stabilized corn oil-in-water emulsions at pH 7 was investigated. Various concentrations (0–0.6% w/v) of L. perfoliatum seed gum were used together with 2% (w/v) WPC to emulsify corn oil in water at a ratio of 1:5. Quality attributed such as particle size distribution, creaming profile and coalescence rate during storage at 4 and 25 °C; surface and interfacial tension; zeta potential and viscosity of the emulsions were determined. The results indicated that the addition of L. perfoliatum seed gum had no significant effect on zeta potential but the surface and interfacial tension increased with the rise of gum concentration. It was also found that the addition of L. perfoliatum seed gum to WPC emulsions at a critical concentration of 0.2% (w/v) caused flocculation of oil droplets, which resulted in marked increase in particle size and the creaming rate. However at higher gum concentrations beyond this value, the particle size remained constant, apparently because of the high viscosity of the aqueous phase. At all concentrations tested, emulsions stored at 4 °C were more stable except for those containing 0.2% L. perfoliatum seed gum.
