Xanthan (XG), locust bean gum (LBG), and zein protein were food-grade obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO). Analytical grade NaCl, sunflower oil (AGD, Buenos Aires, Argentina), and distilled water were also used.
Moisture content of flour (corn and quinoa), starch, and proteins (dry egg, dry egg-white, and zein) was measured following the standardized protocol AACC 44-40 (AACC, 2000) . Total nitrogen content was determined according to 920.87 AOAC method; conversion factors 5.83 for quinoa flour and 6.25 for the rest of proteins was used (Table 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
