Abstract
Polysaccharide gum was extracted from malva nut seeds in 0.05 M sodium hydroxide at 85 °C. The malva nut gum (MNG) solutions were highly viscous and showed a pronounced shear thinning behavior in the concentration range from 0.1 to 4.0% (w/v). The Newtonian plateau was observed only at the two lowest concentrations (0.1% and 0.3%) studied. The power-law model showed that, as gum concentration increased, the consistency index (AT) increased and the flow behavior index (n) decreased. The small strain oscillatory rheological testing of 0.5 to 4.0% (w/v) MNG solutions indicated a gel-like structure with storage modulus (G') > loss modulus (G") over the entire frequency range examined. This gel network did not melt when heated to 60 °C, although G' and G"decreased with increasing the temperature. The addition of 5 to 15 mM CaCl2 did not affect the gel strength.
