STUDIES ONALBIZIA ZYGIAGUM 4.1COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ALBIZIA AND OTHER MUCILAGES

摘要

ABSTRACTRheological properties of albizia, tragacanth, methylcellulose and sodium carboxymethylcellulose were compared. All gums exhibited non‐Newtonian flow with thixotropy which was affected by temperature, pH, concentration of the gum and presence of electrolytes. It is concluded that 1 lbizia mucilage should have the same suspending power as 0.4 tragacant
