The effects of a simulated in vitro digestion model on the viscosity of solutions of locust bean gum, guar gum, fenugreek gum, xanthan gum, gum Arabic, psyllium, flaxseed gum and soy soluble polysaccharides (SSPS) were examined in this study. All hydrocolloid solutions were formulated for low viscosity (LV), medium viscosity (MV) and high viscosity (HV), which were subsequently subjected to 3 treatments of equal volumes each. The treatments consisted of 1) H2O-dilutions, 2) acid and alkali in the absence of enzymes/bile and 3) an in vitro digestion model simulating the gastric and duodenal phases with pH changes in the presence of hydrolytic enzymes and bile salts. All hydrocolloids showed substantial reductions in viscosity, with dilutions exerting the greatest effect. Depending on the concentration, xanthan gum retained 20-50% of its initial viscosity while the other solutions were in a lower range of 1-16%, thereby showing considerable resilience to the 3 simulated conditions. / NSERC
