Abstract

Highlights: Xanthan, guar gum and locust bean gums were studied alone or in binary mixtures. Firmness of solutions and film stickiness increased with gums concentration. Synergy was more pronounced between xanthan gum and locust bean gum. The synergy between gums decreased the stickiness of the residual film. Abstract: The objective was to investigate the influence of synergism between xanthan gum (X) and galactomannans (guar gum (G) and locust bean gum (L)) on the stickiness of the film formed after the application of polysaccharides on a surface. The adhesion of the film was evaluated using a texture analyzer. X, G, and L were examined in concentrated solutions (0.5, 1 and 1.5 %, w/w) and as a function of the gums mixing ratios (0/100, 20/80, 40/60, 50/50, 60/40, 80/20 and 100/0). The film stickiness increased significantly with gum concentration with G exhibiting less sticky films than with X and L. The binary mixture of X/G and X/L confirmed a synergistic interaction, increasing the firmness of mixtures and decreasing the film stickiness. Such findings open interesting applications for skincare product development using natural texturing agents with enhanced consistency with the residual film on the skin being pleasant and not sticky.
