PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND RHEOLOGICAL MODELING OF SYNERGISTIC INTERACTION OF SOME PLANT GUM EXUDATES.
ABSTRACT The visco-elastic properties of Khayasenegalensis (KS gum), Anacardium occidentale (AO gum) and Acacia senegal (AS gum) blends in dilute solution were investigated. The gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and the elastic component. Molecular conformation of the complex of AS-KS was assessed by the power law and the results showed that the b values for AS 40%―KS 60% and AS 20%― KS 80% given as 1.98 and 1.67 which ...
