Gums are an integral ingredient in fluid systems.
Thus, characterizing rheological behavior is instrumental
in product development. The advances in capillary
viscometer as shown in this study allows for a more
complete characterization of the visco-elastic properties
of fluid systems. The data in this research suggested that
a significant g00 was observed in some gum solutions and
that the visco-elastic properties were concentration
dependent. Scientists can use this instrument to achieve
a better understanding of the intrinsic interactions between
the gum macromolecules, environmental conditions,
and water molecules that lead to the
development fluids visco-elastic properties.
