Molecular Fractionation Induced by Viscosity-Driven Segregative Phase Separation Behavior of Gum Arabic/Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose by Lingyu Han, Cunzhi Zhang, Nuo Dong, Jixin Yang, Qiuyue Zheng, Xiaobo Zhang, Ronggang Liu, Jijuan Cao, Bing Hu

“…By conducting a comparative analysis of two GA subtypes (CGA and SGA) and three HPMC grades with controlled viscosity gradients, we utilized gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering (GPC-MALLS) coupled with rheological characterization to elucidate the critical relationship between continuous phase viscosity and fractionation efficiency. Notably, increasing HPMC viscosity significantly intensified phase separation, resulting in selective enrichment of arabinogalactan-protein complexes: from 6.3% to 8.5% in CGA/HPMC systems and from 27.3% to 36.5% in SGA/HPMC systems. …”
