Abstract
Nitrogen conversion factors for gum arabic (Acacia Senegal (L.) Willd.), gum tragacanth (Asiatic Astragalus spp.), gum karaya (Sterculia spp.), guar gum (Cyamopsis spp.), locust bean (carob) gum (Ceratonia spp.), tara gum (Caesalpinia spp.), and xanthan gum (Xanthomonas campestris) have been calculated from data for the amino acid compositions of their proteinaceous components. The factors derived differ from the arbitrary values (5.7 or 6.25) at present specified by international regulatory authorities for some emulsifiers, stabilizers and thickeners.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
