In this paper, we investigate the role of acetyl and pyruvate groups on rheological properties of xanthan in dilute solutions. For this purpose, a series of xanthan derivatives were prepared by chemical hydrolysis from the same original sample, i.e. acetyl-free, pyruvate-free, acetyl and pyruvate-free xanthans. Conformational transitions of the four samples (native and modified xanthans) were followed by measuring optical rotation as a function of temperature. Values of midpoint transition (Tm) thus obtained indicate that acetyl groups have a stabilizing effect on the ordered form of xanthan whereas pyruvate groups have an opposite effect. After partial depolymerization by sonication, viscosities of the four samples were studied as a function of polymer concentration (below overlap concentration C*) and molecular weight. Unique curves were obtained for [.eta.] versus Mw and specific visocity versus the overlap parameter C[.eta.] for the four samples. This result shows that acetyl and pyruvate contents have no influence either on xanthan dilute solution viscosity or on its intrinsic viscosity at a given molecular weight.
