This is different from non-adsorbing stabilisers (e.g., xanthan, guar, locust bean gum) or adsorbing polysaccharides (e.g., gum tragacanth, CMC, pectin, l-carrageenan), which can cause depletion flocculation of suspended colloids, and also increase the viscosity of the continuous phase and form an entangled polymeric network at lower concentrations (Everett & McLeod, 2005). ATS is a polymer characterised by a chain with a hydrodynamic volume leaving less or no space for other molecules like casein micelles. However, it has less impact on viscosity at low concentration than do charged polymers such as xanthan. Furthermore, ATS forms a particle gel (consisting of ATS domains) in time and not a homogeneous polymer gel.
