Popis: An Ubbelohde viscometer was used to study the miscibility properties of Khaya senegalensis (KS gum) and Acacia senegal (AS gum) blends in dilute solution when the blends were subjected temperature rise, increase in concentration and as well as on effect of some inorganic salts. The intrinsic viscosity and the elasticity of the gums were evaluated. Molecular conformation o f the blend AS - KS was also assessed by the power law and 20% AS – 80% KS blend was found to exhibit the strongest attraction between Khaya gum and gum Arabic molecules since the blend had the highest value of intrinsic viscosity value determined, while 60% AS – 40% KS blend had the least
