Controlling the size of alginate gel beads by use of a high electrostatic potential.

Abstract:

:The effect of several parameters on the size of alginate beads produced by use of an electrostatic potential bead generator was examined. Parameters studied included needle diameter, electrostatic potential, alginate solution flow rate, gelling ion concentration and alginate concentration and viscosity, as well as alginate composition. Bead size was found to decrease with increasing electrostatic potential, but only down to a certain level. Minimum bead size was reached at between 2-4 kV/cm for the needles tested. The smallest alginate beads produced (using a needle with inner diameter 0.18 mm) had a mean diameter of approximately 300 microm. Bead size was also found to be dependent upon the flow rate of the fed alginate solution. Increasing the gelling ion concentration resulted in a moderate decrease in bead size. The concentration and viscosity of the alginate solution also had an effect on bead size as demonstrated by an increased bead diameter when the concentration or viscosity was increased. This effect was primarily an effect of the viscosity properties of the solution, which led to changes in the rate of droplet formation in the bead generator. Lowering the flow rate of the alginate solution could partly compensate for the increase in bead size with increased viscosity. For a constant droplet size, alginates with a low G block content (F(GG) approximately 0.20) resulted in approximately 30% smaller beads than alginates with a high G block content (F(GG) approximately 0.60). This is explained as a result of differences in the shrinking properties of the beads.
