Aloe vera (barbadensis Miller) mucilage in powder form was obtained by spray-drying following by
suspension in aqueous solution, to enable microstructure recovery. The rheological behavior of the
reconstituted mucilage was evaluated as a function of mucilage concentration, temperature, pH and
ionic-strength. Mucilage solutions exhibited shear-thinning non-Newtonian behavior. The viscosity was
found dependent on ionic-strength. This dependence is more evident when divalent cations are used,
although a strong rise in viscosity upon increasing pH is observed. Linear viscoelastic data show a
predominant viscous behavior, but with a crossover point (storage module G0 ¼ loss module G00 ) suggesting a change in molecular conformation to a random-coil arrangement of the mucilage microstructure. The spray-dried powders were compared with fresh mucilage, with regard to chemical
composition and mechanical flow behavior. Results reveal a small structure modification during the
spray-drying process, evidencing preservation of the mucilage microstructure when optimum spraydrying conditions are used, i.e., 1.5 L/h inlet flow, temperature of 150 C and atomization rate of
27,500 rpm.

1. Introduction
Polysaccharides are used in the food industry for their ability to
modify the functional properties of food systems (Medina-Torres,
nchez, & Katthain, 2000). Since
Brito-de La Fuente, Torrestiana-Sa
polysaccharides impart a functional property to a specific product,
the economics and availability of polysaccharides are important in
the final formulation (Whistler, 1993). A very popular plant in the
Cactaceae family is Aloe vera (AV) (barbadensis Miller) which has
been widely studied due to its healing properties. AV is a heteropolysaccharide (it is formed by several polysaccharides) of high

molecular weight.
Spray-drying (SD) is a process widely used to produce powders
due to several advantages such as capacity to produce powders of a
specific particle size and moisture content, continuous operation,
short production times, cost effectiveness, and flexibility (Keshani,
Daud, Nourozi, Namvar, & Ghasemi, 2015 and references therein).
Examples of recent studies of SD food products are: Blackberry
(Ferrari, Germer, & de Aguirre, 2012), coffee oil (Frascareli, Silva,
Tonon, & Hubinger, 2012), Yoghurt (Sakin-Yilmazer, Koç, Balkir, &
Kaymak-Ertekin, 2014), among others. However, the relative high
temperatures used in the SD process can negatively affect the
properties of the powders causing degradation and oxidation of the
product. Thus, finding the best process conditions is of paramount
importance to obtain powders with optimum properties. For
example, it was found that the increase in inlet air-temperature
94
L. Medina-Torres et al. / LWT - Food Science and Technology 66 (2016) 93e100
leads to a decrease of efficiency and oil retention in the encapsulation process of coffee oil by SD (Frascareli et al., 2012). Ferrari
et al., (2012) reported that a high inlet air-temperature (180 C)
leads to particles with smoother surface, lower moisture contents
and higher hygroscopicity for the case of SD blackberry powders.
Whereas, in the case of Opuntia fruits (Gandia-Herrero, JimenezAtenzar, Cabanes, Garcia-Carmona, & Escribano, 2010), low inlet
air-temperature (120 C) was associated with a large degree of
particle shrinkage and deformation. With regard to shear-viscosity,
Sakin-Yilmazer et al., (2014) reported that an increase in inlet airtemperature caused a decrease in apparent viscosity of reconstituted powders of SD yoghurt, which was related to the denaturalization of proteins and destruction of the protein network.
With respect to studies on how SD process conditions affect the
product structure, Paudel, Loyson, and Van de Mooter (2013)
studied spray dried naproxenepolyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K25
amorphous solid dispersions. They found that a high inlet temperature or feed-flow lead to the formation of phase-separated
dispersions with strong hydrogen-bonded fractions and higher
amorphous drug fractions (resulted from fast evaporation conditions) leading to superior physical stability, while lower inlet
temperature generated more homogeneous systems. Moreover, in
the case of the AV mucilage, Cervantes-Martínez et al (2014) reported that the increase of inlet temperature and atomization
speed led to a decrease in shear-viscosity of reconstituted AVpowder, which was attributed to sample degradation. A combination of high atomization speed and low inlet temperature were
reported as key factors in reducing sample degradation which was
inferred from rheological measurements (viscoelasticity and first
normal-stress difference). In this regard, there are few studies
about the rheological properties of reconstituted mucilage after a
(SD) process.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the flow-thickening
properties of the reconstituted AV-mucilage powders obtained by
SD to obtain the optimum conditions to avoid sample degradation,
maintaining the molecular weight of the AV powders.
2.3. Chemicals
The monosaccharide standards: L-Rhamnose, L-Fucose, L-Arabinose, D-Xylose, D-Mannose, D-Galactose, D-Glucose grade reactive
and 2-Deoxy-Glucose (>99%) were used as internal standards, and
sodium nitrate was purchased from SigmaeAldrich. Reagent-grade
Sulfuric acid and dicloromethane were supplied by Scharlab S. L.
(Spain).
2.4. Physicochemical characterization of fresh AV mucilage
2.4.1. Moisture content fresh samples
The moisture content of raw samples was determined with an
automatic thermo-balance (model Sartorius® MA35), with a 0.01%
error, automatic selection of time (0.1e99 min), with a temperature
range of 1e150 C and infrared heating-system. The thermobalance was programmed at 90 C for 40 min during the initial
processing of the samples (non-destructive). Subsequently, in the
development of this process, second and third treatments were
applied, reaching 30 min at 110 C. Results are expressed in g/kg of
wet sample.
2.5. Spray Drying (SD)
A Mobile Minor parallel-flow spray-dryer (model Niro, Copenhagen, Denmark) equipped with a rotary atomizer (Minor TS M02/
A) was used to dry the AV-mucilage solution. SD conditions (see
Table 1) were used according to previous reports (CervantesMartínez et al., 2014) to obtain the optimum mechanical and
functional properties of the SD process (inlet: 150 C, 1.5 L/h and
27,500 rpm).
2.5.1. Moisture content of the SD powders
The moisture content of the SD powder was determined with an
infrared thermo-balance AD-4714a, at a temperature of 110 C for a
period of 60 min and a weight of 5 g per sample for each test,
performed in duplicate. Results were expressed in percentage of
dry matter.
2. Materials and methods
2.6. Analytical determinations
2.1. Raw materials
AV leaves were collected from a dry area of northern Mexico
(Durango, Dgo.), from a cultivated area of 2500 m2, with a production of 2.5 tons per year under controlled irrigation and constant organic fertilizer every two months. These plants have a thick
and short herbaceous stem with a diameter of 10 cm and height of
20e25 cm on average, prior to the stage of flourishing. The leaves
have S shape towards the tip (center are erect or slightly curved and
thinner) with 70e90 cm on average height and 8 cm thick. Only the
bright green leaves without brown spots with 24e30 months-old
on average that grew in the outer part of the plant were cut.
2.2. Extraction of the AV mucilage
The tip, base, thorns and bark on both sides of the leaves were
separated after cutting, washing and cooling. Semi-frozen pulp was
placed in a commercial juice extractor Hamilton Beach® HealthSmart; then the juice was clarified in a tabletop centrifuge brand
Heraeus Labofuge model 400/400 R to remove suspended solids;
the juice was stored in sterilized jars at low temperatures (4 C).
pH (AOAC, 1990), degrees Brix, refractometer (model RF-10-CAT),
moisture (OHAUS, thermo-balance MB2000), and total solids
(NMX-F-510-1998) were measured in the mucilage samples.
2.6.1. Total Phenolic Content (TFC)
The TFC was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method modified by Heimler, Vignolini, Dini and Romani (2005). To prepare the
reference sample, dry powders of mucilage (1 mg) were dissolved
in de-ionized water (1 mL), homogenized in a Vortex analog mixer
(Fisher Scientific) for 10 min, until a homogeneous mixture was
obtained. In the presence of dim light, 125 mL of the standard
sample, 500 mL of distilled water and 125 mL of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent were mixed in test tubes. The mixture reacted for 6 min. Then
1250 mL of sodium carbonate (7 g/L) and 1 mL of distilled water
were added to the reaction mixture. This mixture was incubated for
90 min at room temperature and in total absence of light; finally,
absorbance was measured at 760 nm with water as blank. The TPC
was expressed as mg of gallic acid equivalent (GAE, GAE/g of spray
dried powder) through the calibration curve of gallic acid.
2.6.2. Antioxidant capacity measured by trapping free radicals
(DPPH method, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)
Antioxidant capacity was measured in terms of the radical
scavenging capacity (RSC) using the DPPH method * (2, 2-diphenyl1-picrylhidrazyl) (Brand-Williams, Cuvelier, & Berset, 1995). In this
study 0.025 mg/mL of DPPH were used as a standard reagent and
dried samples were dissolved in methanol/water (1:1 in volume),
which were also used as target. Samples were prepared in duplicate

test tubes and then 3.5 mL of the DPPH solution were added, previously adjusted to an absorbance of 0.78 at a wavelength of
515 nm. The absorbance of the mixtures was measured 7 times

of 20 kV and 1000 magnification.

2.6.3. Analysis of carbohydrate composition
~ es,
Carbohydrate analysis was performed as described by Simo
Nunes, Domingues, Coimbra, and Domingues (2012) for neutral
sugars. Sugars were released from residues by acid hydrolysis.
Approximately 5 mg of fresh and dried AV-mucilage were dispersed
in 12 mol/L H2SO4 solution for 3 h followed by dilution to 1 mol/L
and hydrolyzed at 100 C for 2.5 h (Saeman, Moore, Mitchell, &
Millett, 1954). A second sample was hydrolyzed only with 1 mol/L
H2SO4 (100 C for 2.5 h). The cellulose content was estimated by the
difference in glucose obtained by Saeman hydrolysis and the second (mild) hydrolysis method. The neutral sugars as alditol acetate
derivatives were separated with dichloromethane and analyzed by
gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector equipped
with a 30 m column DB-225 (J&W Scientific, Folsom, CA, USA) with
internal diameter and film thickness of 0.25 mm and 0.15 mm,
respectively. The oven temperature program included an initial
temperature of 200 C, a rise in temperature at a rate of 40 C/min
up to 220 C, keeping this temperature for 7 min, followed by a rate
of 20 C/min up to 230 C and maintaining this temperature for
1 min. The injector and detector temperatures were 220 and 230 C,
respectively. The flow rate of the carrier gas (He) was set at 1.7 mL/
min. Uronic acids were determined by colorimetry, as total uronic
acid (Blumenkrantz & Asboe-Hansen. 1973) using a hydrolyzed
sample (3 h at 20 C in 12 mol/L H2SO4, followed by heating at
100 C for 1 h in 1 mol/L H2SO4).
2.6.4. Molecular weight
The molecular weight of mucilage was measured using HPLC
(PerkineElmer Model 250) equipped with a G 2000 SW column
(TSK-GEL), a IR refractive index detector (PerkineElmer series
1000) and an integrator (Spectra-Physics, SP4270 model). Sodium
nitrate (50 m mol/L) was eluted at 50 C with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/
min. Dextrans (commercial grade, Sigma EE.UU, Leuconostoc mesenteroides: B-152 strain and dextran T70 produced by Pharmacia
Biotechnology, Sweden) with molecular weights from 5000 to
2.8. Rheological properties
2.8.1. Mucilage reconstituted solutions
SD powder mucilage samples were re-suspended in de-ionized
water using a magnetic stirrer (Thermo Scientific, Telesystem 15) at
500 rpm at 24 ± 1 C for 90 min. Samples with 0.06 g/mL were
prepared to study the effects of changes in pH, temperature and
ionic strength on the rheological behavior of mucilage. All rheological measurements were performed in a stress controlled
rheometer (AR-G2, TA Instruments) using a cone and plate geometry (d ¼ 60 mm, 1 angle) with a Peltier plate system attached to a
circulating water bath (Haake, Germany, Mod. F3T). Samples were
characterized under simple shear flow. The viscoelastic properties,
storage (G0 ) and loss modulus (G00 ) were measured under smallamplitude oscillatory with frequency range from 0.1 to 200 rad/s.
Finally, the first normal stress difference under steady-shear
(N1) was measured to determine the elastic properties under
shear flow.
2.9. Experimental design
The experimental design is shown in Table 1. Experiments were
performed according to a 23 factorial design: two different inlet airtemperatures (Ti ¼ 150 and 170 C), two inlet flows (Ff ¼ 1.5 and
1.7 L/h) and two atomization speeds (As ¼ 23,000 and 27,500 rpm).
Outlet (To) and wall temperatures (Tw) were measured but not
controlled in the SD process. A freeze-dried sample (T9) and fresh
mucilage (T10) are used for comparison (see Table 1). Three replications were performed for each test for a total of 24 SD runs. Data
were analyzed by ANOVA with statistical significance of P < 0.05.
3. Results and discussion
3.1. Analytical determinations
3.1.1. Physical characteristics of powders obtained by SD
The process conditions, yield and moisture content of SD powders (T1eT8), freeze-dried powder (T9, used for comparison
96
L. Medina-Torres et al. / LWT - Food Science and Technology 66 (2016) 93e100
purposes) and fresh mucilage (T10), the latter with 3 Brix, pH of
4.6 and total solids content of 0.12 g/kg, are shown in Table 1. According to the operation conditions of SD, the time that the particles remain inside the dryer (residence time) related to the inlet
flow (Ff) and spraying speed (rotary atomizer velocity) has ample
influence on the moisture content (Hum) and degree of particle
agglomeration (stickiness) (Chiou & Langrish, 2007). For example,
sample T5 reveals the lowest-attainable yield, which is related to
the low inlet-flow (1.5 L/h) which represents a long residence time
combined with a high temperature gradient DT ¼ Ti To
(150 67 C). Sample T6 in comparison, reveals a higher yield,
attributable to the lower temperature gradient and larger atomization speed (As ¼ 27,500 rpm), as compared to sample T5
(23,000 rpm).
3.1.2. Total Phenolic Content (TPC)
Table 2 shows the TPC expressed in mg of gallic-acid equivalent
for the 10 samples (sample identification, same as Table 1). According to Wang et al. (2013) a major decrease in TPC is found in the
low-temperature dehydrated product probably due to long residence times required to reach the pre-set final moisture. This is
confirmed with sample T2, where a combination of high inlettemperature (170 C) and low inlet-flow (1.5 L/h, see Table 1)
leads to long residence times with high temperature, and hence the
lowest phenol content (Table 2). A higher temperature in
conjunction with high feed-flow reduces the particle residencetime and improves the retention of functional groups, as the particles stay shorter periods at high temperatures. This is the case of
samples T3 and T4 (see Table 1).
3.1.3. Antioxidant capacity measured by trapping free radicals
(DPPH method, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)
In general, the high phenolic content implies a high antioxidant
capacity, which is strongly linked to the molecular structure. The
use of the DPPH technique was made according to Brand-Williams
et al. (1995) providing a straightforward way to evaluate the antioxidant activity of trapping radicals; however, some care must be
taken when interpreting the data. In Table 2, the percentage of
trapping free radicals for all samples is presented. A widely-used
parameter to estimate the antioxidant capacity is the median
effective concentration (EC50) (Cuvelier, Richard, & Berset, 1992;
nchez-Moreno, Larrauri, and Saura-Calixto, 1998). EC50 is the
Sa
concentration than inhibits 50% of the DPPH* radicals in solution;
the lower the EC50, a higher antioxidant activity is found.
Treatments T1 and T3 show the lowest % RSA (<0.06 g/mL) with
concentrations higher than 5000 mg/mL. This may be due to the
degradation of the molecule caused by high drying temperatures;
while in treatments T7 and T8, low antioxidant levels are caused by

high feed-flow and low atomizing pressure, accompanied with high
residence times within the drying chamber, leading to degradation
of the biopolymer (through chain scission). Sample T9 also shows a
low percentage of trapped free-radicals due to the drying process
(freeze-drying). According to these results, interaction with DPPH
depends on the presence and preservation of the conformational
structure of mucilage.
3.1.4. Analysis of the carbohydrate composition
Experimental results for the samples with the highest monosaccharide contents (T6 and T10) are summarized in Table 3.
Sample T6 shows the highest monosaccharide content in comparison to fresh mucilage (T10), evidencing the optimum drying conditions according to total phenolic content and antioxidant activity
lez et al., (2011) reported that the high
(Table 2). Rodríguez-Gonza
mannose and glucose contents suggest the occurrence of the acemannan polymer, the main bioactive ingredient of AV. Femenia,
(2003) evaluated the effect of
García-Pascual, Simal, and Rossello
dehydration at different air-drying temperatures on the bioactive
polysaccharides of AV.
In general, carbohydrate analysis revealed that the AV-mucilage
mainly contains mannose and significant amounts of uronic acids,
arabinose, and xylose. Acemannan, the main active component of
AV originates from mannose, which has been reported to occur in
large quantities in AV (McAnalley, 1993).
3.1.5. Molecular weight
From elution profiles using HPLC, the molecular weight of the
SD-mucilage was determined; a value of 4.18 104 for sample T6
was found, while for fresh mucilage amounts to 5.96 104. The
reduction in Mw is expected due to the thermal treatment and high
shear-forces present in the SD chamber. However, the difference is
less than 10% of the reference Mw, which evidences the structure
preservation achieved using the optimum drying conditions while
preserving the antioxidant activity. Also, the reduction in monosaccharide content (see Table 3) of sample T6 as compared with the
fresh mucilage (T10) is a remarkable result of the mild degradation
caused by the SD process, since the reductions for all monosaccharide samples range in the order of 10% or less.
3.2. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Fig. 1 shows micrographs of powders obtained by the SD process
(A) and the lyophilized sample (B), where the morphology of the SD
micro-particles consists of semi-spherical shapes (sample T6 see
Table 1 for SD process conditions). Furthermore, freeze-dried micro-particles (sample T9) have rough surfaces with cavities and,
sometimes, structural cracks. These morphological irregularities
are possibly due to the removing water process during drying. Ballstruck type particles were observed in SD samples (T6) similar to

in the SD process leads to irregular micro-particles with folds on its
surface, while air at high temperature results in more rigid porous
surfaces and micro-particles. In this study, using the SD process
(T6) leads to semi-spherical micro-particles, with no apparent
cracks without agglomerations or tack processes.
3.3. Rheological behavior. Steady-state simple-shear
3.3.1. Concentration effect
Shear viscosity as a function of mucilage concentration is shown
in Fig. 2. The sample with treatment T6 is used here at two different
concentrations (0.03 and 0.06 g/mL) and compared with either
fresh mucilage, freeze-dried mucilage and xantham gum. In general, mucilage solutions behave as shear-thinning fluids (n < 1) i.e.,
the viscosity decreases with increasing shear-rate.
The shear-viscosity of polysaccharide solutions in a wide range
of strain-rates has been modeled with a power-law model (Equation (2)):
h ¼ K g_ n
(2)
where h is the shear viscosity (Pa s) and g_ is the shear strain rate (1/
s). K is the consistency index (Pa sn) and n is the shear-thinning
index.
Morris, Cutler, Ross-Murphy, Rees, and Price (1981) empirically
found a value of 0.76 for the slope of the viscosity (ƞ) vs shear rate
(g) at high shear rates for “random-coil” polysaccharides in solutions with high polydispersity. Note that the flow properties of
commercial biopolymers (xanthan gum) are similar to those of the
AV-mucilage 0.06 g/mL (Fig. 2). Viscosity values of a solution of
0.06 g/mL mucilage are comparable to those of a xanthan solution
(0.03 g/mL).
3.3.2. Temperature effect
The influence of temperature on the viscous properties of fresh,
spray-dried and lyophilized mucilage is shown in Fig. 3. The curve
shape is not affected by temperature, suggesting temperature stability in the analyzed range. Dependence of viscosity on temperature can be represented by the Arrhenius equation (Lewis, 1987):
Ea
h ¼ A exp
Rð1=T 1=T0 Þ

where Ea is the activation energy (kcal mol1), R is the gas constant: 1.987207 cal mol1 K1, A is the constant related to the

molecular collision frequency between T and T0 (K). The reference
temperature T0 is 273.15 K for data shown in Fig. 3.
Values obtained from the linear regression are: Ea ¼ 124.35 J/
mol for the fresh mucilage, 790.5 J/mol for the reconstituted freezedried mucilage, and with the SD process 1831.3 J/mol with 0.03 g/
mL and 3.824 kcal/mol with 0.06 g/mL (correlation of R2 ¼ 0.9998).
It is interesting to note that several biopolymers such as xanthan
gum have revealed fairly stable viscous properties with respect to
temperature (Rajinder, 1995) similarly to the value obtained with
low AV concentrations (0.03 g/mL).
3.3.3. Effect of ionic strength
Experimental results regarding the effect of ionic strength on
the viscous properties of mucilage (concentration of 0.06 g/mL) are
shown in Fig. 4. Viscosity values are taken from the flow curve at a
shear rate of 0.25 s1. The effect of the ionic concentration on the
viscosity is important to determine the dependence of rheological
properties on the presence of functional ions. Charged molecules
show a strong viscosity dependence of ionic strength. MedinaTorres et al., (2000) represented this functionality by using the
following Equation (4):
h ¼ h∞ þ SI
1=2
(4)
where, h∞ is the extrapolation of h to infinite ionic-strength. S is the
slope of the function of h versus I1/2 related to the rigidity of the
polymer chain.
Predictions of Equation (4) are also shown in Fig. 4 (dotted line).
It is clear that for increasing ion concentration h decreases, as expected for polyelectrolyte solutions composed of several polysaccharides such as the AV-mucilage. Typical values of the slope (S)
for xanthan samples are in the range of 0.55 and 0.66 (Lillford &
Norton, 1991). S-values of the AV-mucilage range from 0.335 to
0.360, revealing that S depends on the ionic strength. According to
data shown in Fig. 4, the viscosity reduction depends more on the
Naþ ions concentration than that of Caþþ ions.
Ionic strength (or a negative charge) produces a strong intermolecular repulsion, which explains the high mucilage viscosity in
(Pa s)

3.4. Elastic properties of simple shear flow
The first normal stress difference under simple-shear flow (N1)
is a material function that allows the evaluation of the elastic
properties of the material under flow. Fig. 6 shows N1 as a function
of shear stress t12, revealing that aqueous solutions of mucilage are
elastic under flow.
In comparison, a standard solution of polyisobutylene is shown
in Fig. 6 (with the slope of 2 at low shear-rates). These results are
represented by the following equation suggested by Broadbent and
Lodge (1971):
N1 ¼ m0 ½t12 n0
(5)
where: m0 is the characteristic consistency index, t12 is the shear
stress (Pa) and n0 is the flow behavior index (which can vary between 0 and 2). For the mucilage concentration studied in this
work, N1 is reasonably predicted by Equation (5), where m0 and n0
are given in the caption of Fig. 6. Values of N1 are higher in the case
of SD-mucilage as compared to fresh mucilage but the slope remains the same. This is expected since the total solid content between the samples is different. Similar trends were observed in the
literature for a wide range of synthetic biopolymers (Ait-Kadi,
Choplin, & Carreau, 1989).

3.3.4. pH effect
The effect of pH on viscosity in simple-shear flow is shown in
Fig. 5, where viscosity values are taken from the flow curve at a
shear rate of 0.25 s1. Upon increasing pH causes an increase in the
viscosity. In the alkaline region, the viscosity tends to a plateau
(saturation effect). Moreover, a sharp increase is observed between
pH 4 and 6. The ionization of the carboxyl groups of the mucilage
molecule above pH 4.0 may explain this sharp increase in viscosity.
A similar argument was reported by Trachtenberg and Mayer
(1982) to explain the increase in the intrinsic viscosity of mucilage with pH (to almost zero-shear conditions). Consequently, it is
clear that both pH and ionic strength influence the hydrodynamic
volume of the AV-molecule. Conformational changes in the molecule should be considered to determine the functional properties of
the AV-mucilage.

where t0 is the oscillatory stress, ε0 is the strain and q is the phase
angle between the stress and strain oscillatory signals.
The spectrum shows a typical mechanical behavior of a randomcoil configuration (Morris et al., 1981). Mucilage solutions show
viscoelastic properties of a predominant viscous behavior G00 > G0
(Clark & Ross-Murphy, 1987). This behavior depends on the mucilage concentration in the dilute region (<0.06 g/mL).
Upon increasing the mucilage content, G0 becomes larger than
G00 , indicating increasing elasticity due to macromolecular network
formation. This behavior has been observed for xanthan gum for
concentrations above 0.03 g/mL (Rajinder, 1995). In Fig. 4, data for
xanthan 0.03 g/mL are presented for comparative purposes. Results
suggest that mucilage solutions with 0.06 g/mL exhibit similar
viscoelastic properties than xanthan solutions with 0.03 g/mL
content.

3.5. Rheological behavior of oscillatory shear flow at steady state
3.5.1. Concentration effect
Typical oscillatory flow curves of small amplitude strain as a
function of concentration of mucilage in de-ionized water at 25 C
are shown in Fig. 7. The storage (G0 ) and viscous modulus (G00 ) are
calculated from an oscillatory shear-flow according to the following
equations:
G0 ¼ ðt0 =ε0 Þcosq
(6)
3.5.2. Temperature effect
The effect of temperature on the viscoelastic properties of SDreconstituted mucilage is presented in Fig. 8, for a concentration
of 0.06 g/mL in de-ionized water. The dependence of both dynamic
moduli G0 and G00 on frequency is observed at 5 and 35 C. A similar
trend has been reported by Morris et al. (1981) for random-coil
polysaccharide conformations. It is important to note that at 5 C,
the point of intersection between G0 and G00 occurs at high frequency (short times), which suggest a conformational change in the
mucilage structure.
Furthermore, the elastic and viscous responses under simpleshear are also dependent on both pH and ionic strength (data not
shown here), revealing that the rheological properties of mucilage
are dependent on molecular conformation.
4. Conclusions
Aloe vera mucilage powders were produced by spray-drying
under different process conditions; they were analyzed in relation to their moisture content, total phenolic content, antioxidant
capacity, carbohydrate composition, molecular weight and
morphology. Reconstituted powders were evaluated by rheological
techniques.

re-suspended in aqueous medium after SD in powder form reveals
shear thinning behavior (n < 1).
Viscous AV-mucilage solutions are found unstable to temperature changes at concentrations higher than 0.03 g/mL. Furthermore,
the shear viscosity depends on the ionic strength in the same way
as a common poly-electrolyte molecule; this behavior is more
pronounced with divalent ions.
Viscosity depends on solution-pH and a sharp viscosity increase
is found in the range 4e6 of pH.
Elastic properties under shear flow were analyzed through
measurements of N1 in SD-reconstituted mucilage samples. Similar
trends as those reported in the literature were found, signaling the
possibility of substitution of some commercial gums by these
systems.
Results evidence the possibility to preserve the physical properties and structure of the SD-powders of Aloe vera if specific
process conditions that minimize the effect of the thermal processing are employed. It is important to note that the total phenolic
content and antioxidant capacity of mucilage powders show a
remarkable response, scavenging free radicals in the samples processed at lower temperatures, low temperature difference DT (inlet
and outlet) and low inlet flow. High expectations of the use of SD in
natural biopolymers for possible use in the food industry are
envisaged.
