It is the first time to prove the efficiency of lactic acid in polysaccharides extraction from wastes of Corchorus olitorius (molokhia), Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), and Pisum sativum (pea). The interaction between these new polysaccharides and milk proteins has been studied and compared with the behavior of pectin as control polysaccharides. Milk treated with the three types of food grad polysaccharides and pectin showed incensement of total proteins in Milk Supernatant Fraction (MSF) indicating its suitability to use in dairy products as stabilizer. Alkaline native Urea-PAGE presented that pectin, okra, and pea polysaccharides showed associative interaction with αS-casein while molokhia polysaccharide was more attractive to β-casein. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) of coagulated skim milk samples showed an open matrix of casein treated with.. View More»
