Studies on the steady shear flow behavior and functional properties of Lepidium perfoliatum seed gum

► L. perfoliatum seed gum could be useful in industrial applications as a new source of hydrocolloid. ► Viscosity of L. perfoliatum seed gum is lower than guar, almost similar to xanthan and higher than locust bean gum. ► Rheological properties of L. perfoliatum seed gum are highly affected by temperature and salt addition. ► Addition of this new hydrocolloid will enhance the stability of O/W emulsion and foam containing albumin.
