Topics to be discussed Polysaccharides and rheology Features of some selected Polysaccharides Concepts showing functional & sensorial attributes Conclusion & Questions
Polysaccharides Polysaccharides are relatively l complex carbohydrates. They are polymers made up of many monosaccharide joined together Range of rheology Gelled Sprayable Suspended d Flowable Squeezable
Polysaccharides & Interactions Non interacting molecules Tend to have a constant viscosity Seem thick when pouring but do not suspend well Give a rich appearing texture Examples : Cellulose Gum, Lamda carrageenan
Non interacting molecules
Polysaccharides & Interactions Molecules l with short-lived interactions ti Have a viscosity that decreases with increasing shear rate (pseudoplastic flow) Create high viscosity at low shear rates for good suspension Have low viscosity at higher rates for easy pouring Can appear to be lumpy or have thick-and-thin areas Examples: Xanthan gum
Short lived Interactions
Polysaccharides & Interactions Molecules with long-lived interactions Have a viscosity that decreases after being sheared Creates a gel that can be sheared, it may or may not rebuild Are usually pseudoplastic after being sheared Require good control in formulation and manufacturing Examples: Gellan gum, k carrageenan (K+) & l carrageenan (Ca+2)
Long lived Interactions

Xanthan Gum INCI : Xanthan gum Fermentation derived (Xanthomonas campestris) Cellulose l backbone with three sugar side chain Differentiating Properties: Smooth Flow Xanthan-Xanthan gum with smooth rheology. Pseudoplastic : forms networks (reversible) in aqueous systems Stable in extreme ph conditions (ph 3-11): e.g. AHA cream Stable in high h electrolyte l t medium: e.g. Clay masks, make-up Functional in difficult to thicken surfactant systems: e.g. Body-wash Provides improved thermal stability: e.g. Sunscreen Good alcohol tolerance: e.g. Hand sanitizer gel formulated with 62% v/v alcohol

Cellulose gum INCI: Cellulose Gum Derived from Cellulose Carboxymethyl esters of anhydroglucose units Vary by: Molecular weight Degree of substitution Differentiating Properties: Viscosity depends on molecular weight. Low viscosity grades- Newtonian flow To achieve correct level of high shear viscosity- e.g. Mascara Provides smooth, thick viscosity- during pouring Promotes a richer skin feel Excellent solubility and film formation properties- e.g. Eyeliner Good Binding properties- e.g. Toothpaste Low molecular CMC for film delivery systems- e.g. Breath strips
