Abstract
⺠Synergistic gelation of konjac glucomannan and xanthan. ⺠We analyze the gelling behavior with a two-component cascade model. ⺠Konjac glucomannan has a functionality (number of binding sites per chain) value of 3. ⺠The heterotypic binding has a high enthalpy/entropy ratio (5.52). ⺠We propose that the binding of konjac glucomannan with xanthan takes place on consecutive glucose residues.
