Degalactosylated xyloglucan gels develop a lamellar morphology if incubated at 37 °C.
Irradiation reduces the molecular weight of the polymer in a dose-dependent fashion.
The auto-organization in lamellae is faster for low dose irradiated xyloglucans.
Irradiation at too high doses impairs ordering leading to weaker gels.
Absence of cytotoxicity from gels leachates is demonstrated.
