CONCLUSION Oil is mainly responsible for the opacity <strong>of</strong> beverage emulsion. Addition <strong>of</strong> arabic gum decre<strong>as</strong>es the surface tension between water and oil, hence, incre<strong>as</strong>ing the stability <strong>of</strong> emulsions. Hydrophobic interactions between the oil and proteins in tragacanth and arabic gums at the interface are responsible for the flow behavior and allow effective control for product development. The outcomes <strong>of</strong> this work may have practical applications for the design <strong>of</strong> industrial stable dispersions to provide opacity, flavor and to deliver functional ingredients into the beverages.
