Özet
The current study investigated the potential of utilizing wine lees extract (WLE) from red wine to enhance the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of xanthan gum (XG). A novel hydrogel system was successfully generated by cross-linking WLE and XG. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to thoroughly analyze the characteristics of this novel hydrogel to understand its behavior and possible applications. Consistency index (K), flow behavior index (n), water holding capacity (%), and oil binding capacity (%) of the cross-linked hydrogels were optimized, and the best formulation was determined to be 0.81 % XG + 0.67 % WLE and crosslink temperature of 47 °C. The addition of WLE (0–1 % w/v) to different concentrations of XG (0–1 % w/v) was found to have a notable impact on the rheological properties, but changes in cross-link temperature (45–65 °C) did not have a significant effect. The activation energy was increased by incorporating WLE at XG concentration above 0.5 %, indicating a more robust and stable structure. FTIR and SEM analyses confirmed the chemical bonding structure of the optimum hydrogel. Incorporating WLE could significantly improve the functional properties of XG hydrogels, allowing the development of healthier product formulations.
