    Abstract:
    This research aimed to analyze the impacts of sonication on the rheological properties and color indexes of aqueous solutions of Basil seed gum (BSG), Lallemantia seed gum (LSG), and Wild sage seed gum (WSG). The apparent viscosity (AV) of aqueous solutions of gums decreased with increasing shear rate (SR) from 12.2 s-1 to 134.5 s-1. Also, the AV (at SR = 61 s-1) of BSG, LSG, and WSG solutions reduced from 0.015 to 0.006 Pa.s, 0.023 to 0.010 Pa.s, and 0.009 to 0.004 Pa.s with enhancing the sonication time from 0 to 20 min, respectively. Various rheological equations were employed to fit the empirical values, and the findings confirmed that the Power law (PL) model was the best fit to explain the flow behaviour of these gums solutions. The consistency coefficient (k-index) of BSG, LSG, and WSG solutions significantly (p < 0.05) reduced from 0.108 to 0.017 Pa.sn, 0.143 to 0.033 Pa.sn, and 0.034 to 0.014 Pa.sn with increasing sonication time from 0 to 20 min, respectively. The flow behaviour index (n-index) of the gums solutions increased with increasing sonication time. By applying ultrasound, the lightness (L⁎) and blueness/yellowness (b⁎) indexes of the solutions were increased, and the greenness/redness (a⁎) index was reduced.
