Tóm tắt

The Cassia angustifolia seed gum (CAG) was isolated from the seeds of C. angustifolia and subjected to cyanoethylation by using acrylonitrile (AN) in presence of alkali (NaOH) in aqueous medium at different reaction conditions. The variables studied is comprised of alkali concentration, AN concentration, liquor:gum ratio as well as reaction temperature and time. The nitrogen content (%N), degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (RE) were determined. The optimum conditions for preparing cyanoethyl-CAG (%N = 6.36 %; DS = 0.969) comprised 0.100 mol of NaOH, 0.075 mol of acrylonitrile and liquor:gum ratio (v/w) of 10:1 at 45 °C for 60 min using 0.03 mol (as AGU, anhydroglucose unit) of CAG. RE was found to be 24.08 % under these conditions. Rheological studies of 1 and 2 % (w/v) cyanoethyl-CAG showed non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behaviour, relatively high viscosity, cold water solubility, solution stability and clarity as compared to the solutions of unmodified CAG.
