A novel thermoreversible gelling system consisting of tamarind seed xyloglucan (TSX) and gallic acid (GA) was prepared and investigated. The thermal transition temperatures obtained from both micro-DSC and viscoelastic methods were consistent. The hysteresis was observed for the GA–TSX gelling syste...
