Composition and effect of salt on rheological and gelation properties of Enterolobium contortisilliquum gum exudate

The composition, structure and rheological properties and metal ions interaction with Enterolobium contortisilliquum gum were investigated. This gum contains galactose, arabinose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid as main monosaccharide components. 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that the anomeric composition is similar to the Enterolobium cyclocarpum exudate, however no 4-O-methylglucuronic acid was detected for E. contortisilliquum. The rheological experiment resulted in a very similar flow behaviour to that found for E. cyclocarpum gum. The empirical stiffness parameter, B was determined (B=0.090) and suggested that the polysaccharide possesses semi-flexible chains. Cation affinity of the gum aqueous solution was determined by intrinsic viscosity measurements and gelation. The melting temperature of gels pointed to a charge/ionic radius ratio dependence for metal ions. Thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy and entropy) at the melting temperature were also calculated.
