Dataset on the elastic modulus of heat-set whey protein isolate/xanthan gum mixed biopolymer hydrogels filled with glass microspheres: A model particle-filled composite food system
Abstract:This article presents data related to the research article entitled ‘Considerations for readdressing theoretical descriptions of particle-filled composite food gels’ [1]. The elastic modulus of mixed biopolymer composite gels consisting of heat-set whey protein isolate and xanthan gum (WPI-X) filled with glass microspheres is reported. Gels were evaluated as a function of volume fraction filler (φ
f
= 0–0.5), with varying filler size (4 μm, 7–10 μm, 45–90 μm, and 150–210 μm) and ionic st… Show more
