Abstrakt: The C. fistula gums in aqueous solutions clearly exhibited shear-thinning flow behavior at high shear rate, however, at higher concentrations, pronounced shear thinning was observed. The value of zero shear viscosity [h0] was predicted by fitting Cross model. A plotting of specific viscosity at zero shear rate (hsp0) against coil overlap parameter (C[h]) was shown the linear slope of dilute and simi-dilute as 1.43 and 4.10, respectively, which found the critical concentration (C*) about 7.08/[h]. While, the mechanical spectra in the linear viscoelastic region of gum solutions showed the typical shape for macromolecular solutions.
