Objective To optimize the process of preparing low methoxy pectin-lentinan gel beads by combining low methoxy pectin and lentinan with calcium lactate, and characterize the structure of gel beads prepared under the optimal process conditions. Methods The effects of calcium lactate concentration, curing time, and curing temperature on the hardness of gel beads were investigated through single factor experiment and response surface methodology, and the structure of gel beads was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, texture analysis, rheological analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results The optimum preparation process of low methoxy pectin-lentinan gel beads was determined by response surface methodology as calcium lactate concentration of 6.2%, curing time of 44 min, and curing temperature of 48 ℃. Under these conditions, the hardness of the gel beads was 35.60 gf. Compared with low methoxy pectin gel beads, low methoxy pectin-lentinan gel beads produced stronger hydrogen bond interaction, and their elasticity, cohesion, and dynamic modulus were improved. Conclusion Lentinan can effectively improve the mechanical properties and texture properties of low methoxy pectin gel beads, and this study will provide a reference for the improvement of pectin gel bead systems.
