Rheological and kinetic study of the ultrasonic degradation of locust bean gum in aqueous saline and salt-free solutions

•The viscosity of aqueous solutions of locust bean gum can be modified via ultrasonication.•Extent and kinetics of degradation is somewhat sensitive to ionic strength.•A kinetic model can be used to predict ultrasonic degradation rates. The ultrasonic degradation of locust bean gum (LBG) in aqueous...
