Abstract (EN): The compatibility of gelatin with 'high temperature' and 'low temperature' fractions of locust bean gum (LBG) (LBG(LTF) and LBG(HTF)) as well as with whole LEG (LBG(t)) at pH=5, ionic strength (mu)=0.002 /NaCl/ and 313 K was studied. In the above conditions mannose/galactose ratio (MGR) of LEG molecules is an important factor controlling their compatibility with gelatin and the water distribution between coexisting phases.
