Influence of deacetylation on the rheological properties of xanthan-guar interactions in dilute aqueous solutions

ABSTRACT:  An oscillating capillary rheometer was used to investigate the effects of xanthan deacetylation on the viscoelastic properties and intrinsic viscosity of xanthan and guar mixtures in dilute aqueous solutions. Deacetylated xanthan exhibited a stronger synergistic interaction with guar than native xanthan did due to the destabilized helical structure and increased chain flexibility of the deacetylated xanthan. No gels were observed for all xanthan–guar mixtures. Native xanthan–guar mixtures exhibited a liquid-like behavior, whereas deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures exhibited a gel-like behavior. The relative viscosity and elasticity of deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures were much stronger than those for native xanthan–guar mixtures. The intrinsic viscosities of deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures were higher than the calculated values assuming no interaction, whereas the intrinsic viscosities of native xanthan–guar mixtures were lower than the calculated values assuming no interaction, demonstrating that intermolecular binding occurred between the disordered segments of xanthan and guar gum in dilute aqueous solutions.     

Conformational Role of Xanthan in its Interaction with Locust Bean Gum

ABSTRACT: Texture analysis and Ubbelohde capillary viscometry were used to investigate the effects of chain conformational changes of xanthan or deacetylated xanthan on its interaction with locust bean gum (LBG). The stability of xanthan helical structure or xanthan chain flexibility played a critical role in interacting with LBG. Destabilization of xanthan helical structure by deacetylation and heating facilitated the intermolecular binding between xanthan and LBG. Xanthan conformational change was noted in the presence of LBG, even when its helical structure was stabilized by salt. However, this conformational change was not observed for deacetylated xanthan, presuming deacetylated xanthan was in the exact conformation to bind LBG.     

Intrinsic viscosity and viscoelastic properties of xanthan/guar mixtures in dilute solutions: Effect of salt concentration on the polymer interactions

An oscillating capillary rheometer was used to investigate the dynamic viscoelastic and intrinsic viscosity properties of deacetylated xanthan (0.025%), native xanthan (0.025%), guar gum (0.075%), and xanthan–guar mixtures in dilute solutions. Influence of ionic strength on xanthan conformation and interaction with guar gum was elaborated. As the salt concentration increased, a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in viscosity (η′) and elasticity (η″) values was observed for both native xanthan–guar mixtures and deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures. In water and 2 mM NaCl solution, the relative viscosity and η″ of both native xanthan–guar mixtures and deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures were much higher than of those calculated for mixtures assuming no interaction, whereas no pronounced increase was found for polysaccharide mixtures in 40 mM NaCl. The intrinsic viscosities of deacetylated xanthan–guar mixtures in water and 2 mM NaCl were higher, whereas the intrinsic viscosities of native xanthan–guar mixtures were lower than those calculated from the weight averages of the two individually, assuming no interaction. These results demonstrated that intermolecular interaction has occurred between xanthan and guar mixtures in water and 2 mM NaCl, but may not occur in 40 mM NaCl, and mutual incompatibility may occur. The results suggest that the degree of disordering of xanthan played a critical role in xanthan–guar interaction and may explain the differences in η′, η″, and intrinsic viscosity measurements between 2 and 40 mM NaCl.

Viscosity of guar gum and xanthan/guar gum mixture solutions

The viscosity of diluted guar gum solutions and the viscosity of xanthan and guar gum mixture solutions have been studied. Guar gum solutions showed pseudoplastic behaviour. Apparent viscosity increased with gum concentration and decreased with the temperature at which viscosity was measured. A maximum in the plot of viscosity versus increasing dissolution temperature was observed at 60 °C. This behaviour was related to differences in molecular structure of the polymers solved at different temperatures. Mixtures of xanthan and guar gum showed a higher combined viscosity than that occurring in each separate gum. This synergistic interaction was affected by the gum ratio in the mixture and dissolution temperature of both gums. The effect of polysaccharide concentration (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg m⁻³), xanthan/guar gum ratio (1/5, 4/2, 3/3, 4/2 and 5/1) and dissolution temperature (25, 40, 60 and 80 °C for both gums) on the viscosity of solutions of mixtures were studied. The highest viscosities were observed when 2.0 kg m⁻³ gum concentration was used together with a ratio of xanthan/guar gum of 3/3 (w/w) and dissolution temperature of 40 and 80 °C for xanthan and guar gum, respectively. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry

Influence of mixing temperature on xanthan conformation and interaction of xanthan–guar gum in dilute aqueous solutions

Dynamic viscoelastic and intrinsic viscosity properties of xanthan, guar, and xanthan–guar blends in dilute aqueous solutions were investigated by using an oscillating capillary rheometer. Influence of mixing temperature on xanthan conformation and interaction with guar is discussed. Synergistic interaction occurred at mixing temperatures of 25 and 80 °C, but a stronger synergistic interaction was observed at mixing temperature 80 °C. The viscous component for all gum solutions was greater than that of the elastic component, which indicated a liquid-like behavior in the dilute regime for the polysaccharide solutions. For both mixing temperatures, the relative viscosities and elasticities of xanthan and guar blends were higher than the relative viscosities and elasticities calculated for blends assuming no interaction. The intrinsic viscosities of xanthan and xanthan–guar blends were higher at 80 °C than at 25 °C. The intrinsic viscosities of xanthan and guar blends were lower than those calculated from the weight averages of the two, and significantly decreased as the xanthan fraction decreased, indicating that xanthan was crucial in controlling the blend viscosity, and that the molecular binding occurred between xanthan and guar.
