Certain Rheological Aspects of Functionalized Guar Gum

Abstract: Guar gum and its derivatives are highly important industrial hydrocolloids as they find applications in various industrial sectors. Guar is a polymer of high molecular weight and its aqueous solutions exhibit unique rheological properties, which has led to its wide acceptance by the industry. In certain industrial applications low molecular weight guar and its derivatives are needed, and conventionally chemical depolymerisation of guar is carried out for this purpose. Radiation processing is a novel and green … Show more

“…Then, water was added slowly, the dough was prepared (referred to as SoyaX), and the amount of water consumed was noted. Guar gum gel was prepared by sprinkling 1.25 g of guar gum in the vortex of 250 ml distilled water stirred using a magnetic stirrer at 760 rpm for 3 hr operated at ambient temperature, followed by cooling (Kapoor et al, 2013). Further, the gel was added to the DOSF dough, the dough was prepared (referred to as SoyaG), and the amount of gel required was noted.…”

“…The rheological properties of hydrocolloids provide the basis for their wide application in industry. The unique rheological behavior of hydrocolloids can be attributed to the presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups in their structure, which leads to the formation of hydrogen bonds in aqueous systems (Kapoor et al, 2013 ). Guar gum is a non‐Newtonian material and, in an aqueous solution, shows pseudoplastic behavior, which means that the viscosity decreases due to the shear rate.…”

“…In this paper, a dynamic, rheological, and structural characterization of aqueous gel-like systems containing HPG, borax and glycerol is presented. In the last decades, several papers focusing on the study of the mechanical properties and the applicative performances of HPG aqueous solutions [22] and gel-like systems [8][9][10]23,24] have been published. However, to our knowledge, a systematic study of the simultaneous role of both borax and glycerol on the structural and on the mechanical properties of aqueous HPG based gels, which is the main subject of this paper, is still lacking.…”
