The apparent hydrodynamic diameter of casein micelles was determined as a function of hydrocolloid concentration at 60 degrees C and during cooling to 20 degrees C. The systems studied contained skim milk 100-fold diluted in permeate in the presence of either lambda-, iota-, kappa-carrageenan or guar gum. These measurements show that all three forms of carrageenan adsorb onto casein micelles, whereas guar gum does not. Lambda-carrageenan (which is always in the coil conformation) adsorbs at all the temperatures studied, whereas the iota and kappa forms adsorb only at temperatures below the onset of the helix-coil transition. The results agree with the idea that adsorption of carrageenan occurs only above a certain minimum charge density. Phase diagrams were established at 60 degrees C for the three carrageenans and the rheological behaviour was followed on cooling and at 25 degrees C. The results suggest that the lambda-carrageenan bridges the casein micelles at low carrageenan concentrations, leading to the sedimentation of carrageenan/milk mixtures at 60 degrees C and structure formation on cooling. At 60 degrees C, iota- and kappa-carrageenan induce depletion flocculation of casein micelles above a critical carrageenan concentration. On cooling, systems containing iota-carrageenan clearly form a network at the helix-coil transition temperature. The network is formed by mixed carrageenan/casein micelle crosslinks. In the presence of excess carrageenan, this network is reinforced by carrageenan/carrageenan crosslinks. For the kappa-carrageenan/casein micelle mixtures the existence of mixed carrageenan/casein micelle crosslinks is less obvious but seems likely. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
