Topic: Hydrocolloids

	Hydrocolloid hydration
		Some hydrocolloids, such as locust bean gum and xanthan gum, may form stronger gels on freeze-thaw due to kinetically irreversible changes consequent upon forced association as water is removed (as ice) on freezing [468].
		As hydrocolloids can dramatically affect the flow behavior of many times their own weight of water, most hydrocolloids are used to increase viscosity (see rheology page), which is used to stabilize foodstuffs by preventing settling, phase separation, foam collapse and crystallization.
		Polysaccharide hydrocolloids stabilize emulsions primarily by increasing the viscosity (slowing the thermodynamically favored breakdown of the emulsion) but may also act as emulsifiers, where their emulsification ability is reported as mainly being due to accompanying (contaminating or intrinsic) protein moieties [309].

	Hydrocolloids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hydrocolloids are a type of dressing designed to lock moisture in the skin and help the natural healing process of skin, in order to reduce scarring, itching and soreness.
		Using these attributes hydrocolloids are very useful chemicals since in many areas of technology from foods thru pharmaceuticals, personal care and industrial applications they can provide stabilization, destabilization and separation, gelation, flow control, crystallization control and numerous other effects.
		There are many different types of hydrocolloids each with differences in structure function and utility that generally are best suited to particular application areas in the control of rheology and the physical modification of form and texture.

	Dietary fibre and health
		As the primary function of hydrocolloids is to retain water, they have an important effect on stool bulking, and consequently on gut transit times as a high water-holding capacity forces the material through the gut faster.
		Hydrocolloids may be categorized as either water-soluble (for example, pectins and guar) or water-insoluble (cellulose), though this labeling is not always helpful in predicting their physiological effects.
		Soluble hydrocolloids are noted for their effect on the stomach and the small intestine whereas insoluble fibers are noted for their effect on the large intestine, though some hydrocolloids (for example, arabinoxylans) have an effect on both.

	Hydrocolloid Dressings: Frequently Asked Questions (Rev 1.0) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Hydrocolloids are among the most widely used modern dressings; but that does not necessarily mean that they are widely understood.
		In the presence of wound exudate, hydrocolloids absorb liquid and form a gel, the properties of which are determined by the nature of the formulation.
		Hydrocolloids provide effective occlusion; with dry wounds, they can have a softening effect, and they have been used to prevent the spread of MRSA (by providing a physical occlusive barrier).

	Wound dressings (III): Hydrocolloids for moist wound treatment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Hydrocoll consists of an absorbent hydrocolloid with excellent swelling capabilities, that is integrated into a self-adhesive elastomer and covered with a semi-permeable protective foil, which acts as a barrier against bacteria and moisture.
		The hydrocolloid dressing Hydrocoll is suitable for wound management during all individual healing phases, for the acceleration of wound cleansing, as well as for the promotion of granulation and epithelialisation.
		Like hydrogels, hydrocolloids as well are semi-permeable wound dressings that, due to their occlusive effect, generate a temporary oxygen depletion in the site of the injury.

	Food Product Design: Meat Products Gel with Hydrocolloids
		Though carrageenan and other hydrocolloids are not exactly newcomers to the meat industry, the recent attention surrounding their use in meat products serves to remind product designers that creative application of known ingredient technology often can teach old ingredients new tricks.
		Hydrocolloids comprise materials from many different sources, such as polysaccharides from vegetable and biosynthetic sources and proteins of animal origin.
		Another new application for hydrocolloids in fish is in the reclamation of the "fish dust" that results when frozen blocks of fish fillets are cut apart for processing.

	Dietary fibre and health
		Hydrocolloids, generally being relatively pure additives, are more available than typical dietary fiber, which is complexed with plant material and normally consumed as whole grains.
		As the primary function of hydrocolloids is to retain water, they have an important effect on stool bulking, and consequently on gut transit times as a high water-holding capacity forces the material through the gut faster.
		Soluble hydrocolloids are noted for their effect on the stomach and the small intestine whereas insoluble fibers are noted for their effect on the large intestine, though some hydrocolloids (e.g.

	SRI Consulting CEH Report
		Compared with other hydrocolloids, starches and their derivatives have a lower average value by weight and are worth roughly three times other hydrocolloids or roughly $12 billion, giving a total global hydrocolloid market value of over $16 billion.
		Between 2003 and 2008, the world aggregate growth rate for hydrocolloid consumption is expected to be 1.5-2.5% per year.
		Several hydrocolloids will exceed this growth rate, such as pectin, xanthan and carrageenan, while starches will be at the low end of the growth range.

	GME \| Advantages
		Hydrocolloids are used to thicken, gel and stabilise food.
		The other group of hydrocolloids are soluble in cold or hot water and need the addition of salts or acids to form a gel.
		Generally, other hydrocolloids do not cover a range of gel strengths — modification of jelly strength is therefore achieved by blending with other ingredients such as sugars and salts.

		Hydrocolloid sheets are occlusive and are suitable for clean, granulating or necrotic wounds with low to moderate exudate.
		Care should be taken when using hydrocolloids for clinically infected wounds, as they are occlusive in nature and may provide conditions which can encourage growth of anaerobic bacteria.
		Although these studies suggest that hydrocolloids may provide some benefit in terms of the number of wounds healed, publication bias is a possibility and may have affected the reliability of these results.

		An open randomized controlled study was carried out in 44 patients with diabetes who had necrotic foot ulcers treated with adhesive zinc oxide tape or with an adhesive occlusive hydrocolloid dressing.
		However, these wounds were necrotic; other clinicians firmly recommend hydrocolloids, particularly for the protection of the wound after the removal of necrotic tissue.
		Foot ulcers in people with diabetes, often homogenised by the term diabetic ulcer, usually have both vascular and neuropathic aetiology; it would be unwise to assume that two apparently similar ulcers should be managed the same way.
