A polysaccharide (PPS) in peanut sediment of aqueous extraction process was obtained at pH4.0, purified via anion-exchange chromatography. The composition, chain conformation and rheological properties were investigated. PPS mainly consisted of arabinose, galacturonic acid, xylose, and rhamnose. The intrinsic viscosity [η] was 0.71 dL/g in 0.1 M NaNO3 solution. The weight-average molar mass Mw and polydispersity index were 3.77 × 105 g/mol and 1.25, suggesting high homogeneity. The average radius of gyration (Rg), hydrodynamic radius (Rh), Rg/Rh ratio and conformation parameter v were 25.5, 18.2, 1.40 and 0.21, respectively, indicating compact coil chain conformation with branched structure. Molecular morphology revealed that PPS displayed chain shape comprised of spheres with a diameter range of 15-50 nm and apparent length of chains mainly ranged from 100 to 300 nm. The aggregation caused by molecular self-association enhanced with concentration increasing. Additionally, Newtonian behavior was observed at various concentrations. Increase in temperature effectively broke this behavior. 10.0 wt.% PPS possessed activation energy of 21.7 KJ/mol, was structured liquid and almost fitted Cox-Merz rule. These closely related with its conformation and molecular self-association behavior.
