Abstract: Octenyl succinic anhydride modified-gum arabic (OS-GA) was prepared from gum arabic (GA) and octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) by a wet method. The synthesis process was optimized by the combined use of one-factor-at-atime method and response surface methodology, and emulsification properties of the synthesized product were determined. The optimal synthesis conditions for OS-GA were determined as follows: OSA, 3.0% (based on the dry weight of GA); initial mass concentration of GA, 40 g/100 mL; pH, 8.85; reaction temperature, 33 ℃; and reaction time, 130 min. Under these conditions, the grafting rate of OS in OS-GA was 1.99%, and its emulsion capacity and emulsion stability were enhanced significantly compared with those of GA.

Key words: gum arabic, octenyl succinic anhydride, octenyl succinic acid-GA ester, response surface analysis; emulsification properties
