Konjac glucomannan (KGM) was treated with or without sonication and/or hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hydrolysis effects on KGM were studied for properties such as degree of hydrolysis, luidity, molecular mass, and creep properties. The degree of hydrolysis for sonicated KGM and acid treated KGM were not signiicantly different. However, the combination treatment of acid hydrolysis and sonication was found effective in yielding a smaller molecular weight fraction of KGM and solution with higher luidity. From the creep analysis, KGM treated with combination treatment exhibited the highest compliance among samples tested. In general, ultrasound mediated acid hydrolysis was found to be a promising technique in degrading high molecular weight biopolymer. This could be attributed to a localized high temperature and high shear forces generated during cavitation that facilitated the endothermic acid hydrolysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
