Abstract: The effects of temperature,pH,denaturant(urea)and metal ions on the viscosity of pullulan solution were studied.The viscosity of pullulan solution went up from 10℃ to 20℃,but was kept constant between 20℃ and 70℃.The pH of thesolution showed little effect on the viscosity and denaturant results in increase of the viscosity of pullulan solution slightly.However,metal ions could increase the viscosoity of pullulan solution obviously,among which the effect of Mg2+ was thegreatest and Na+ the least.The enhancement of the viscosity of pullulan solution was proved to be the result of the incrementof molecular weight.

Key words: pullulan, viscosity, effect factor
