Abstract: The rheology of a compound system of Gleditsia sinensis gum with xanthan gum was studied. The results showed that the optimum proportion of Gleditsia sinensis gum with xanthan gum was 4:6. The mixed gum was“ non-Newtonian” liquid and the viscosity of the compound gum increased sharply by heating up in the range of 60~100℃, the best heating time was 60~ 90min. The viscosity of the compound gum was stabilized in alkaline condition but was affected considerably by acid, and was increaseda fterf reezing-thawinga lternation.

Key words: Gleditsia sinensis gum, xanthan gum, compound gum, rheology
