The importance of hydrocolloids in food applications is due to their unique, functional properties like water binding capacity, reduction In evaporation rate, alteration in freezing rate, modification in ice crystal formation, regulation of rheological properties, participation in chemical transformations, suspension of insoluble particles and stabilization of foams and emulsions.
