The effect of ultra- Accepted 11 September 2015 sonic irradiation on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters related to the enzyme activity as well Available online 12 September 2015 as the intrinsic viscosity reduction of guar gum using enzymatic approach has been evaluated. The kinetic rate constant has been found to increase with an increase in the temperature and cellulase loading. It has Keywords: been observed that application of ultrasound not only enhances the extent of depolymerization but also Guar gum reduces the time of depolymerization as compared to conventional enzymatic degradation technique.
