Abstract

A galactomanana de sementes de Caesalpinia pulcherrima foi extraída em água e purificada, com rendimento de 25 %. A razão D-manose/D-galactose, M/G = 3,1, viscosidade intrínseca, [h] = 11,2 dL/g (em água a 298 K), e a massa molar viscosimétrica média, ou = 1,7 x 10(6), foram determinadas. A variação da viscosidade específica sob taxa de cisalhamento zero, hsp0, em função do parâmetro de sobreposição, C[h], mostrou dependências de hsp0 a (C[h])1,1 e de hsp0 a (C[h])4,2, nos regimes diluído e concentrado, respectivamente. A correlação entre as propriedades reológicas sob cisalhamento contínuo e dinâmico obedeceram satisfatoriamente ao princípio de Cox-Merz.The galactomannan from the seeds of Caesalpinia pulcherrima was extracted in water and obtained in 25 % yield, after purification. The D-mannose to D-galactose ratio, M/G = 3.1, the intrinsic viscosity, [h] = 11.2 dL/g (in water and 298K), and the viscosity-average molar mass, or = 1.7 x 10(6), were determined. The dependence of the specific viscosity at zero shear rate, hsp0, on the coil overlap parameter, C[h], showed slopes of 1.1 and 4.2 for the dilute and concentrated regimes, respectively. The Cox-Merz rule was followed satisfactorily by solutions submitted to steady and dynamic flows.
