Plant polysaccharides are used in the food industry to improve the texture and stability of food. The viscosity of polysaccharides, which includes both thickening and gelling, is an important characteristic. Yanang, Tilaicora triandra (Colebr.) Diels., composed of polysaccharide gum in its leaves. In this research, Yanang gum's structural and rheological properties were investigated. The gum's structure is xylan, with a backbone made up mostly of mixed (1,3)- and (1,4)-D-xylan. The average molecular weight of Yanang gum is 3819 kDa, with a gyration radius of 120.4 nm and an intrinsic viscosity of 14.6 dL/g. The power-law model was found to be the best fit for Yanang gum flow curves. The consistency coefficient, k, increases significantly with concentration in both the forward and the reverse measurements, whereas the flow behavior index, n, decreased as concentration increased. Yanang gum exhibited shear-thinning flow behavior. Increasing the concentration results in heightened G' and G″, and the cross-over point shifts toward lower frequencies. The results of this study show that Yanang gum may be beneficial as other natural gums for food products.
