Research on Curdlan Gel Properties Change

The effects of adding two salt additives,PS and NS,on curdlan gel strength were studied.The results showed that,PS could significantly enhance curdlan gel strength at the high temperature state and NS could reduce the initial gel temperature of curdlan significantly.The synergy of NS and PS could remarkably improve curdlan gel strength,and decrease its useful concentration and initial gel temperature,hence could widen the application field of curdlan.
