Effect of basil seed gum and κ-carrageenan on the rheological, textural, and structural properties of whipped cream.

As a result, synergistic interactions between proteins and polysaccharides (BSG and κ-carrageenan) could promote the development of a cross-linked network. Indeed, due to its high levels of hydrophilicity, BSG absorbs water, acts as a thickening agent, and competes against caseinate at the interfaces and is incorporated into whipped cream to provide a more desirable physical structure for the product. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
