Abstract

The application of three previously extracted hydrocolloids: 1% basil seed hydrocolloid (BSH), fenugreek seed hydrocolloid, and psyllium seed hydrocolloid was assessed in stabilizing 30% O/W emulsions and compared with gum Arabic (GA), zedu (Persian) gum, and commercialized fenugreek gum. 20% GA-containing emulsions (GA20) were also prepared as a reference (commonly accepted as a good emulsifier). Binary mixtures (1:1) of all the hydrocolloids were also prepared and compared. The emulsion stabilities (ES%) of the homogenized emulsions were measured over 30 days of storage period through a centrifugation assay. BSH-containing emulsion exhibited the highest ES% (96.55%) while the GA-containing emulsion was the most unstable (34.80%) even though its hydrodynamic diameter (d, µm) was the smallest (3.38 µm). BSH in single and binary mixture emulsions was the most effective hydrocolloid with greater emulsion stability when compared with commercialized hydrocolloids studied, with fairly small hydrodynamic diameter and relatively low PDI and could possibly be used in the food industry.
