POLYMER COMPOSITION OF PROTEINS, POLYSACCHARIDES AND / OR GLYCERIDES

摘要

Polymer compositions comprising at least 2 building blocks covalently linked via phenolic residues containing a methoxygroup positioned ortho with respect to the hydroxyl group, wherein the building blocks are selected from protein (P), glycerides (G) and polysaccharides (S) and wherein the covalent linkage via phenolic residues is between P-P, S-S, P-S, P-G, G-G, G-S or combinations thereof, characterised in that at least one of the phenolic residues is covalently bonded to a building block via a Schiff's base, show good emulsifying, thickening, encapsulation and stabilising properties. Hence they are suitable for use in food products, especially emulsions and foams.
