Abstract

The main objective of this work was to study the influence of the welan gum and advanced performance xanthan gum concentration on rheological properties and physical stability of rosemary essential oil emulsions. The increase of biopolymer concentration provoked an increase of complex viscosity. Concerning the physical stability, for the higher concentration of gum, creaming was eliminated but flocculation occurred. This flocculation led to destabilization by coalescence, being the emulsion formulated with 0.4 wt% the most stable.
