Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a process for reducing viscosity of an aqueous composition comprising a biopolymer, comprising: obtaining an aqueous composition comprising 1,3 beta glucan wherein the aqueous composition has an initial viscosity and heating the aqueous composition to a desired temperature, preferably in combination with a desired shear rate, to reduce viscosity by at least 50%.

Claim (Index 11):
A process for reducing viscosity of an aqueous biopolymer composition for oil-water separation, comprising:\n recovering an oil-water mixture from an oil bearing reservoir, wherein the oil-water mixture has an aqueous phase comprising 1,3 beta glucan, wherein the aqueous phase is of an initial viscosity; and heating the oil-water mixture to a temperature ranging from about 130 C to about 200 C for a period of time sufficient for the aqueous phase to achieve a final viscosity, wherein the final viscosity is at least a 50% reduction of the initial viscosity.
