ABSTRACT

Figure 7.1 Phase diagram of the water + gelatin + locust bean gum (LBG) system at pH = 5.0, ionic strength = 0.002 M and T = 40 C: () binodal; () tie lines; (-  -) rectilinear diameter; () composition of coexisting phases; () critical point; () threshold point. The various composition points (Am, Bn) relate to the sets of images presented in Figures 7.2 and 7.3. Reproduced from Alves et al. (2001) with permission.
