Abstract The mechanisms of stabilization of soybean soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) and high methoxyl pectin (HMP) in acidified milk drinks were studied focusing on the differences in behaviour between the two polysaccharides. The changes in casein micelles size during acidification with glucono-delta-lactone or by direct acidification were measured using light scattering. When HMP was added to skim milk before acidification, pectin adsorbed on the surface of the casein micelles via electrostatic interactions and prevented casein aggregation. Results suggested that adsorption of pectin occurred from the beginning of acidification and somewhat affected the rearrangement of casein micelles in the pH range between 5.8 and 5.0. On the other hand, SSPS, at concentrations up to 2% (w/w), did not interact with caseins at pH > 4.6. At pH < 4.2 SSPS showed better stabilizing properties than HMP. In addition, between pH 4.2 and 3.2, SSPS-stabilized acid dispersions were not affected by pH, while dispersions homogenized with pectin showed a size distribution that depended on pH. The differences in structure between SSPS and HMP account for the unique functionalities of the two polysaccharides in acid milk systems. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
