This study aims effective use of soymilk residue, by-product of soymilk production, and making noodles by mixing soymilk residue with wheat flour. The results of viscosity property, cooking test of dry noodles, texture test of cooked noodles, and sensory test of cooked noodles were as follows. The color of cooked noodles were slightly shifted to yellowness according to the mixing of soymilk residue. The mixing of soymilk residue resulted in the decrease of texture and the loss of solids due to the decrease of visccelasity. Na-alginate, Na-C.M.C., guar gum, and crude gluten were added to improve the texture of noodles mixed with soymilk residue. As the results, either Na-alginate or guar gum was very effective in increasing the viscosity of composite flour and either guar gum or crude gluten was very effective in improving cooking quality. The texture of noodles supplemented by Na-alginate 1.0%, Na-C.M.C. 2.0%, guar gum 0.5%, or crude gluten 2.0% was similar to that of wheat flour noodles. Complex additives mixed with two different additives were very effective in improving noodle-making characteristics. Especially, the properties of the soymilk residue mixed noodles supplemented by crude gluten 1.0% and Na-C.M.C. 1.0% or crude gluten 1.0% and gum 0.5% were nearly the same in the texture organoleptic properties compared with those of wheat flour noodles.

The effects of gellan gum (from S. paucimobilis), EPS-CB (exopolysaccharide from S. chungbukensis), and a series of commercial gums (arabic gum, xanthan gum, guar gum, deacyl gellan gum), on the swelling, rheological, and pasting properties of non-waxy rice flour dispersions were investigated. The swelling properties of rice flours in gellan or guar gum dispersion after heating were found to have increased with increasing gum concentrations, but the swelling properties of rice flour/other gum systems decreased with increasing concentrations. The rice flour/gum mixtures showed high shear-thinning flow behavior (n=0.14-0.32), and consistency index (K) was higher in guar gum than other gum dispersions. The initial pasting temperatures and peak times increased along with increasing gum concentration. The peak viscosity of rice flour increased in guar gum and deacyl gellan dispersions, and the breakdown and setback viscosity of the rice flour paste was lowest in the xanthan gum system, but remained higher than those of the control. The apparent viscosities of the rice flour/gellan gum mixture pastes were the highest among the tested combinations.

Retarding effects of the dietary fibers from tangerine peels on glucose, bile acid and cadmium transport were evaluated by dialysis method, and were compared with those of commercial dietary fibers(citrus pection, CM-cellulose, guar gum, $\alpha$-cellulose). Yields of total (TDF), insoluble(IDF) and soluble dietary fibers(SDF) from tangerine peels on the fresh matter basis were 2.84%, 1.95% and 0.39% respectively. The amount of insoluble fibers was 5.2 times higher than that of soluble fibers. Soluble fibers(guar gum, CM-cellulose, SDF, pectin) had the retarding effect on glucose transport, while IDF, TDF and $\alpha$-cellulose did not have. Guar gum showed the greatest effect, followed by CM-cellulose, SDF and pectin. Among the extracted fibers, only SDF had the effect on glucose transport retardation. Regarding bile acid dialysis, guar gum had the greatest retarding effect, and all dietary fibers from tangerine peels, especially SDF, showed the effect of bile acid retardation. On cadmium transport retardation, CM-cellulose had the greatest effect, followed by SDF, TDF, IDF, guar gum and pectin. Among the extracted fibers, SDF had the greatest effect on Cd trasport transport retardation. The extracted dietary fibers showed higher retarding effect on Cd transport than glucose and bile acid transport, and the effect of SDF was higher than IDF.

The physicochemical, rheological and sensory characteristics of 'BACKSULGIES', which was added with potato peel, guar gum or polydextrose, were investigated. The maximum acceptable addition ratio of dietary fiber to 'BACKSULGI' was 10%. And optimal addition ratio was 3% for all samples. The water binding capacity was affected by dietary fiber sources and incubation conditions (temperature and time). The Guar gum had me highest value of water binding capacity. The solubility was highly related with water binding capacity and me swelling power was increased with temperature increment. The degree of gelatinization was not significantly different with dietary fiber sources. But me values of gelatinization of 'BACKSULGIES' added with dietary fibers were significantly higher than mose of 'BACKSULGI' with no dietary fiber. Generally hardness and brittleness incresed along with storage time. But me hardness of 'BACKSULGIES' added with dietary fibers was significantly lower man those of 'BACKSULGI' with no dietary fiber. The retardation effect of dietary fibers for retrogradation of 'BACKSULGIES' was also proved by time constant determination of Avrami equation. Sernsory evaluation revealed that me addition of dietary fibers did not reduce the organoreptic quality. Therefore potato peel 3%, guar gum 3%, polydextrose 3% were optimum addition ratio which could be accepted as conventional 'BACKSULGI'. As me results of this study, it was proved mat the additions of dietary fibers to 'BACKSULGI' had the retardation effect of retrogradation.

Purpose: This study used a single group, pre-post test, quasi-experimental design to determine the effects of guar gum hydrolysate intake with water on older adults at senior day care centers. Methods: Fifty-six older adults from two senior day care centers were enrolled in April 2024. After 12 weeks, fluid intake, functional dependence, self-rated bowel health, and frailty index were measured. Results: There were statistically significant improvements in participants' fluid intake and self-rated bowel health. Changes in frailty index were not statistically significant and require further investigation. Functional dependence did not show statistically significant changes, but more refined assessment criteria are needed. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that consumption of guar gum hydrolysate contributed to rapid relief of constipation symptoms in older adults attending senior day care centers. Therefore, the use of various interventions for constipation, including guar gum hydrolysate, should be considered in the future to improve the degree of constipation and self-rated bowel movement.

The effects of adding additives such as gum, emulsifier, and enzyme both individually and as mixtures to frozen rice bread dough on baking quality were examined. Rice flours containing 17% vital gluten, and gum/emulsifier/enzyme blends were mixed and stored in a freezer at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. The rice doughs were removed from the freezer, thawed, and then followed the rice baking procedure. The dough freezing and frozen storage resulted in decreased volume of rice bread. The addition of guar gum/sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL)/fungal $\alpha$-amylase blend improved volume of the rice bread obtained from rice dough during frozen storage. An increase in firmness of crumb was observed in rice breads during 3 days of storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Compared to the control dough without additives, addition of guar gum/ SSL blend or guar gum/ SSL/ fungal $\alpha$-amylase blend into frozen dough significantly reduced the crumb firmness of rice bread, indicating a significant antistaling effect.

The efficiency of retention systems including compozil-G, hydrocol, compozil-S, and micropolymer under highly closed papermaking system was evaluated using contaminated white waters prepared in the laboratory. Compozil-G and compozil-S performed better in retention than hydrocol and micropolymer systems. This suggested that stronger hydrogen bonding between fiber and guar gum or starch was formed to give stronger flocculation and better retention. Especially compozil-G outperformed compozil-S in retention, and this indicated the presence of stronger interaction between guar and cellulose fibers probably due to their similarity in chemical structure. Two compozil retention systems decreased the cationic demand and COD more effectively than hydrocol and microparticle systems. In particular, compozil-G that uses guar gum was highly effective in decreasing anionic trashes at low dosage.

Two key technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing are recognized to achieve the rapid growth of shale gas production, in specific, in the United States during last decade. The claims between environmentalists and oil companies have been debating in terms of water contamination. Nowadays, voluntary publication of chemicals from shale gas players are available in the website, FracFocus. This paper introduces chemicals that are currently used in hydraulic fracturing process. Among chemicals, guar gum and guar derivatives are dominantly consumed to increase the viscosity of hydrofracking fluids. The role of additional additives, such as breakers and biocides, is presented by explaining how they cut down the molecular structure of guar gum and guar derivatives. In addition, crosslinking agent, pH controller, friction reducer, and water soluble polymers are also presented.

As a result of the additiong of dietary polysaccharides, such as dextran, xanthan gum, gum guar, and gellan gum, differences were observed in the viscosities of the batter for Jeung according to the polysaccharides and theiramounts added, but the pH was not significantly different. The specific volume was highest, in Jeung-pyun with the addition of $0.1\%$ gum guar, at 2.08. The greater the amount of dextran added, the higher the observed specific volume, but the greater the addition of gellan gum, the lower the observed specific volume. The results wereas similar with regard to the expansion characteristics and air holes. As a result of analyzing the texture, the Jeung-pyun with the addition of 1.2 and $3.0\%$ dextran proved to be significantly lower than the control group in terms of hardness, gumminess and chewiness. In the sensory evaluation, the acceptability of Jeung-pyun with the addition of $0.1\%$ gum guar ranked highest, at 8.00, in overall desirability and that with the addition of gellan gum ranked lowest, regardless of the amount added. When 1, 5 and $10\%$ soybean were to Jeung-pyurl, the viscosities increased from those in the early stage in relation to the amount of added, the greater the addition of soybean, the higher the overall pH, but during the fermentation process. the pH decreased. In the group with the addition of $1\%$ soybean the best results infor specific volume, grain and air holes were observed to be the most desirable, proved to be the softest after analysinganalyzing for texture and ranked highest in the sensory scores.

This study aimed to determine the effect of enzyme, guar gum, and pressure processing on the digestibility and physicochemical properties of age-friendly liver sausages. Liver sausages were manufactured by adding proteolytic enzyme (Bromelain) and guar gum, and pressure-cooking (0.06 MPa), with the following treatments: control, without proteolytic enzyme; T1, proteolytic enzyme; T2, proteolytic enzyme and guar gum; T3, pressure-cooking; T4, proteolytic enzyme and pressure-cooking; T5, proteolytic enzyme, guar gum, and pressure-cooking. The pH was high in the enzyme- and pressure-processed groups. The pressure-processed groups had lower apparent viscosity than other cooking groups, and it decreased during enzyme treatment. Hardness was lower in the enzyme- and pressure-processed groups than in the control, and the T4 was the lowest. Digestibility was the highest in T4 at 82.58%, and there was no significant difference with that in T5. The general cooking group with enzyme and guar gum also showed higher digestibility than the control (77.50%). As a result of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the enzyme- and pressure-treated groups (T4, T5) were degraded more into low-molecular-weight peptides (≤37 kDa) than the control and other treatments. Viscoelasticity showed similar trends for viscous and elastic moduli. Similarly, combined pressure processing and enzymatic treatment decreased viscoelasticity, while guar gum increased elasticity but decreased viscosity. Therefore, the tenderized physical properties and improved digestibility by enzyme and pressurization treatment could be used to produce age-friendly spreadable liver sausages.
