Fractionation and identification of commercial hydrocolloid stabilising agents. Part II. Identification of the components of guar gum-locust bean gum and of pectinate-gum tragacanth mixtures

The limitations of a method for the identification of mixtures of stabilising agents described previously have been overcome. The method now facilitates positive identification of pectinate and tragacanth in admixture and of guar gum and locust bean gum in admixture.
