The linear and non-linear viscoelastic properties and the effect of refrigerated storage on the rheological properties of three commercial mozzarella cheeses was studied. The linearity of the rheological behavior of mozzarella cheese increases with temperature because of the ability for the cheese to flow easier at higher temperatures as well as the lack of yield stress at elevated temperatures. The generalized Maxwell model parameters obtained from the linear viscoelastic data were found to describe the linear relaxation dynamics of the mozzarella cheese satisfactorily. It is also shown that the damping function of mozzarella cheese, which is a measure of the degree of non-linearity, can be described by a generalized Zapas model. Although, the different commercial mozzarella cheeses do not exhibit linear viscoelastic differences at room temperature, they do show significant differences at 60°C. The effect of refrigerated storage on the linear viscoelastic properties is brand-dependent and indicates structural differences among cheese samples. Finally it is shown that the dynamic moduli decrease with longer refrigerated storage due to proteolysis activities and/or weakening of the casein matrix.

Highly digestible high-lysine (HDHL) sorghum-wheat composites have previously been shown to produce better composite dough and bread compared to normal sorghum-wheat composites. This study aimed to test whether improved HDHL lines can provide further enhanced functionality through the effects of transglutaminase (TG) enzyme to improve dough rheological properties. Sorghum-wheat composite doughs were made using HDHL and normal sorghum flours at substitution levels of 10, 20, and 30%, with and without 0.15% TG. Rheological properties of dough were tested using a mechanical spectrometer at 0.05% strain amplitude (within the linear viscoelastic region) over a 0.01- 50 rad/sec frequency range. A more elastic system was observed in HDHL sorghum-wheat composites above 10% substitution levels compared to normal sorghum-wheat composite dough. Addition of TG to HDHL sorghum-wheat composites resulted in a decrease in phase angle values at all substitution level, indicating that TG increased the dough elasticity. However, TG did not change viscoelastic properties of normal sorghum-wheat composites. Bread from HDHL sorghum-wheat composites had significantly higher (P

The goal of this study is to investigate the chemical constituents and rheological properties of three different binders used in the State of Qatar. Binders were designated as WL (source 1, low density), WH (source 1, high density) and AH (source 2, high density). Binder composition analysis was carried out using the saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltene determinator (SAR-AD) technique. The percentages of saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes were measured, and from those, the total pericondensed aromatics (TPA), absorbance aging index (AAI), and colloidal instability index (CII) were obtained and their relationship to rheological test results was investigated. In the rheological investigation, the linear viscoelastic properties of these binders were evaluated using a frequency sweep test. The rutting characteristics were evaluated using the percentage of recovery and non-recoverable creep compliance values from the multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, while the fatigue resistance was assessed using the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test. The WL binder was found to have the highest stiffness, which is associated with the highest TPA content. From the MSCR test, the AH binder had the lowest rut resistance. This binder also had the lowest CII value, which represents the balanced chemical composition of this material. Out of the three binders, WH had the highest AAI value which is related to the least fatigue life as measured in the LAS test.

Abstract A newly designed and constructed sliding plate rheometer is used to measure the high frequency (210 Hz) linear viscoelastic properties of two model polymers: polybutene (PB) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Using well-known rheological models, extrapolations of the viscoelastic measurements obtained on a rotational parallel plate rheometer to a frequency of 210 Hz are used to assess the performance of the high frequency sliding plate rheometer. Good agreement between the extrapolated and measured data demonstrates the ability of the sliding plate rheometer to measure the high frequency rheological properties of both Newtonian and shear-thinning materials.

The objective of this work was to study the effects of wheat flour dough’s viscoelastic level by adding glucose oxidase (Gox) on its rheological properties at dynamic shear strain mode to predict the final product quality. Dough does display a linear viscoelastic domain. Glucose oxidase (Gox) was added to dough in order to enhance its viscoelasticity and to take into account the possible effects of this viscoelasticity on the results. Whatever the types of dough strain used G’ increased, tan δ decreased and led to less sticky dough. Wheat flour dough, an increase in G’ with extension may be associated to a strain-hardening phenomenon but the role of dough viscoelasticity is discussed.
