Abstract:
:Pullulan (PU) is an exo-polysaccharide used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the use of PU in different industries is limited due to its highly hydrophilic nature and consequently weakness in surface properties which can be remedied by its chemical modification with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA). For this purpose, PU modification with OSA was optimized and the results showed that the maximum degree of substitution (0.061 ± 0.003) was obtained under pH of 9.0, pullulan concentration of 40% (w/w), temperature of ~40.90 °C, reaction time of ~101.21 min and OSA concentration of 14.96% (w/w). Also, the grafting of OSA on pullulan structure was confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR and zeta-potential analyzes. Although this modification had no significant effect on the amorphousity of pullulan, it led to an increase in viscosity and a decrease in decomposition temperature and surface tension. Improvement of emulsifying properties of PU-OSA sample was proved by the evaluation of emulsifying capacity of un- and modified samples and also, zeta-potential, particle size and viscosity of the prepared emulsions. In line with surface characteristic results, an increase in foam capacity of modified samples was observed with decreasing the interfacial tension.
