The viscosity, foaming properties, emulsifying capabilitiy and synergetic action of Camelina sativa gum were studied by comparison to other gums. The results showed Camelina sativa gum solution in low concentration exhibited high apparent viscosity and good emulsifying and foaming properties. The viscosity of the compound gum increased sharply and the optimum ratio was 55 of Camelina sativa gum to xanthan gum, and 91 of Camelina sativa gum to guar gum. Camelina sativa gum improved the shear resistance and it could be well co-opperated with other gums. Meanwhile, the additive Camelina sativa gum had good properties.
