Abstract

This study aimed at characterizing the rheological properties and molecular weight of tara gum fractionated with ammonium sulfate. Tara gum was separated into six fractions (F1-F6) at different concentrations of ammonium sulfate, ranging from 12.21 to 28.67% (w/w). The yield of the tara gum fractions ranged between 4.98 and 17.47%, and their intrinsic viscosity ranged from 9.38 to 12.44 dL/g. The highest values of Huggins coefficient (k') and viscosity-molecular mass were observed in fraction F3. The shear viscosity of the tara gum fractions was measured by a cone-plate viscometer, clearly showing shear thinning behavior. Size-exclusion chromatography results showed that the molecular weight ranged between 635.42 and 776.71 kg/mol, and the F3 fraction exhibited higher values of molecular weight.

$(1{\rightarrow}4)-{\beta}-{\small{D}}-mannopyranosyl$ 골격에 $(1{\rightarrow}6)-{\alpha}-{\small{D}}-galactopyranosyl$ 곁사슬을 갖는 직선사슬로 구성된 다당류로 강한 점성을 나타내는 타라검을 황산암모늄 침전법을 사용하여 분획하였다. 황산암모늄 농도에 따라 얻어진 침전물을 원심분리 및 투석 후 동결상태에서 건조시켜서 첫 번째 분획물을 얻고 동일한 방법으로 각 단계별 분획물을 얻어 F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6으로 표기하였다. 각 분획물들의 묽은 농도범위 0.05 g/dL 이하에서 우베로드 점도계로 흐르는 시간을 측정하여 본성 점도를 구하였으며 그 값은 F1: 12.24, F2: 9.38, F3: 12.44, F4: 11.14, F5: 10.51, F6: 10.17dL/g이었다. F1과 F2 분획물이 갖는 본성 점도는 기대 값보다 작았고 그 원인은 단백질 성분이 비교적 많이 포함되어 분자 간 상호작용으로 생긴 용해도에 미치는 영향으로 판단되었다. 또한 고분자 물질의 용질-용매간의 상호작용과 응집상태에 의존하는 상태를 나타내는 Huggins 계수(k')값을 측정한 결과 점도 값이 클수록 k'값이 커지는 경향을 나타내었다. 원뿔 평판 점도계로 겉보기 점도를 측정하여 전단속도가 증가함에 따라 점도가 감소하는 전단 묽어짐 현상을 확인하였다. SEC 측정으로 중량평균 분자량, 수 평균 분자량, 회전 반경 및 본성 점도 값들이 $c_p=0.5mg/mL$, dn/dc=0.145의 RI 피크면적으로 계산되었다. 본성 점도 값은 F3:1 0.93, F4: 10.01, F5: 9.33, F6: 9.33 dL/g이었고 Mw: 658.52-776.71, Mn: 318.04-495.78 및 Mz: 952.74-1126.00 kg/mol이었다. 타라검 분획물들의 분자량과 유변학적 성질에 관한 연구로부터 화학물질에 대한 안정제 및 식품첨가제로서의 효과를 높이고 점성 강화제로 사용되는 범위가 확대될 것으로 기대된다.
