Gellan gum is a polysaccharide
which can form a gel at low concentrations.
Gelation mechanism and gel properties of
gellan have not been clarified well at the
present stage. Tamarind xyloglucan, a
polysaccharide obtained from tamarind seed,
is a valuable thickener and stabilizer. We
regarded tamarind xyloglucan as a
representative of non-gelling
polysaccharides. Understanding novel
gelling conditions of tamarind xyloglucan
would lead to create various kinds of
texture modifie
