ABSTRACT: Dairy desserts containing Caesalpinia pulcherrima seed galactomannan were evaluated to determine their static and dynamic rheological behaviors. Variations in consistency index (k), flow behavior (n), yield stress and thixotropy of the desserts indicated that the galactomannan caused an increase in the shear stress and apparent viscosity of the system. All samples exhibited shear-thinning behavior with flow behavior index values (n) between 0.06 and 0.37. Dynamic rheological behavior was evaluated for MD (high solid levels) and MD/2 (half the amount of solids) groups, and both G’ and G’’ moduli were depended on the frequency. The MD and MD/2 groups showed variations in the elastic modulus (G’) throughout the temperature range (mainly at 50 °C), showing greater sensitivity at high temperatures. C. pulcherrima galactomannan was able to promote synergism with starch, milk protein and sucrose and to improve the development of stronger and more resistant gels.

The paper presents the study of the rheological and superficial behavior (foaming power and wetting capacity) of some aqueous solutions with polyethoxylated fatty alcohols content. The influence of fatty alcohols concentration and their degree of ethoxylation as well as that of temperature on the rheological behavior was determined from the dependences between the shear stress t and the shear rate. The results demonstrate that all the studied solutions have non-Newtonian behavior, with flow behavior index smaller than 1.

Objective: Analyze the effect of grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens Charpentier) paste addition on the rheological behavior of Mole Poblano (MP) and its relation with the technological properties of the grasshopper paste. Design/methodology/approach: The addition of grasshopper paste was done at different proportions as follows: T0= 0% of grasshopper paste (GP) and 100% of mole Poblano (MP); T10=10% GP and 90% MP; T15=15% GP and 85% MP, T20=20% GP and 80% MP, T25=25% GP and 75 % MP, T30=30% GP and 70% MP. Water retention and emulsifying capacity of grasshopper paste were evaluated. Density, kinematic and apparent viscosity, and rheological behavior were analyzed at 25ºC; rheological parameters (consistency index (k) and flow behavior index (n)) were calculated by performing a regression analysis to adjust the graphs to a power-law model. Findings/conclusion: Grasshopper paste had higher emulsifying capability than water retention capability.  Apparent viscosity of all formulations decreased as shear rate increased, so all mixtures of GP and MP demonstrated No-Newtonian behavior and pseudoplastic performance. Index consistency increased as GP content increased, these results are related with protein content because GP had a good emulsifying capability. Limitations on study/implications: More studies about the characterization of the proteins of GP and their interaction with other components are required.

Electroosmotic flow of power-law fluids in a slit channel is analyzed. The governing equations including the linearized Poisson–Boltzmann equation, the Cauchy momentum equation and the continuity equation are solved to seek analytical expressions for the shear stress, dynamic viscosity and velocity distributions. Specifically, exact solutions of the velocity distributions are explicitly found for several special values of the flow behavior index. Furthermore, with the implementation of an approximate scheme for the hyperbolic cosine function, approximate solutions of the velocity distributions are obtained. In addition, a mathematical expression for the average electroosmotic velocity is derived for large values of the dimensionless electrokinetic parameter, κH, in a fashion similar to the Smoluchowski equation. Hence, a generalized Smoluchowski velocity is introduced by taking into account contributions due to the finite thickness of the electric double layer and the flow behavior index of power-law fluids. Finally, calculations are performed to examine the effects of κH, flow behavior index, double layer thickness, and applied electric field on the shear stress, dynamic viscosity, velocity distribution, and average velocity/flow rate of the electroosmotic flow of power-law fluids.

Rheological parameters of Butia pulp were determined at different temperatures using a concentric cylinder Haake Rotovisco rheometer, model RV-20, with measurement system ZA-30. Butia pulp was found to exhibit non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic behavior at all temperatures and the rheological parameters were adequately described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. Yield stress, flow behavior index, and consistency coefficient were significantly affected by temperature. The yield stress decreased exponentially with process temperature and ranged between 36.60 and 21.70 Pa. Apparent viscosity calculated through the Herschel-Bulkley model decreased with an increase in temperature. The Arrhenius model gave a good description of temperature effect on apparent viscosity of the pulp.

The characterization of CIM feedstock consisting 58, 59, 60vol% of YSZ powder with binder system comprising a palm stearin (PS) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were studied. The effects of powder loading and temperature (°C) on the rheological behavior of the YSZ were investigated by using Rosand RH2000 Capillary Rheometer. The results showed all the feedstock achieved desirable injection moulding characteristics such as pseudoplastic behavior, flow behavior index (n) less than 1 and low activation energy (E). The rectangular parts were successfully injected moulded at optimum temperature of 170°C with the highest green strength was 12.7 N, obtained from 60 vol% powder loading which correspond to greater density and low porosity of the samples.

The influence of five different emulsifying salts on casein peptization (dissociation) and apparent viscosity of processed Gouda cheese was studied. Casein peptization was evaluated as peptization coefficient in the final product, while apparent viscosity was determined as flow behavior and consistency indices in the product during processing before cooling. Increasing moisture content and pH of processed cheese samples generally increases peptization coefficient, however the type of emulsifying salt showed to play an important role also. On the contrary, independently of the type of emulsifying salt, predictive regression models were suggested in order to express flow behavior index and consistency index versus chemical composition and pH. Increasing moisture content or reducing pH increases the flow behavior index. Consistency index, and thus the apparent viscosity, of processed cheese samples was increased when the moisture content was reduced, and when pH and the soluble casein content were increased.

A new starch-based binder as a natural polymer has been developed for metal injection molding (MIM). In this study tapioca starch which is cheap and readily available in Malaysia has been used as a binder which composed of starch, glycerol, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), citric acid and stearic acid. This developed binder system was mixed with 316 L stainless steel powder to prepare the feedstock at three different of powder loadings of 56, 57 and 58% vol. The rheological behavior of the binder and feedstock were evaluated at different temperatures using a capillary rheometer. The rheological behavior of binder shows less than 10 Pa s and the flow behavior index of the feedstocks were determined to less than 1, which indicates the flow characteristic is pseudo-plastic which is suitable for MIM process. Finally, among these three feedstocks, the feedstock of 57% vol. powder loading was selected and its viscosity values within expected shear rate range are less than 1000 Pa s.

Background: Oxidation reactions are known to shorten the shelf life and cause damage to foods rich in fat, such as dairy products. One way to limit oxidation and increase the shelf life of fermented dairy products is to use natural antioxidants. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of adding pomegranate extracts in the antioxidant properties, rheological characteristics and the storage stability of the fermented product of kefir. Methods: The Pomegranate Juice (PGJ) and Peel Extracts (PGPE) (5%, 10% w/v) were added to kefir and the antioxidant properties were evaluated by using the methods of radical scavenging activity (DPPH) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power Activity (FRAP). Spectrophotometric and instrumental methods were used to determine the Total Phenols (TPs), pH values, viscosity and flow behavioral index values of enriched with pomegranate kefir samples. The same properties were tested when kefir samples stored at 4°C for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Results: The addition of PGJ and PGPE results in an increase in the antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP) and total phenol content (TPs) of kefir samples. Increasing the concentration of the added PGJ and PGPE, results in an increase in the TP content and the DPPH activity of kefir. As far as the storage time is concerned, the results showed an increase in the amount of TP at 7th day and a reduction in the DPPH activity in the 14th day of storage. In contrary to the DPPH method, the increase in storage time has resulted in a reduction in antioxidant activity by the FRAP method. The addition of PGJ and PGPE in kefir results in a decrease in pH values while the pH of kefir samples increased during storage at 4°C for 28 days. The addition of PGJ and PGPE to kefir samples results to a decrease in viscosity and an increase in the flow behavior index. Increasing storage time results in increased flow behavior index of kefir samples. Conclusion: The addition of PGJ and PGPE increased the antioxidant activity and total phenols of the kefir product and preserved its properties during the total storage time of 28 days at 4°C.

Rheology attempts to define a relationship between the stress acting on a given material and the resulting deformation and/or flow that takes place. Thus, the knowledge of rheological properties of fluid materials such as vegetable oils generates auxiliary data that can be used in its storage and application. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the rheological behavior of vegetable oils (cotton, canola, sunflower, corn and soybean) at different temperatures, using four rheological models (Ostwald- de-Waelle, Herschel-Bulkley, Newton and Bingham). The rheological properties were determined using a Thermo Haake rheometer with concentric cylinder geometry. Measurements were taken at 30, 45 and 60 °C by controlling the temperature using a thermostatic bath coupled to the equipment. The software Rheowin Pro Job Manager was used for process control and data record. The rheograms were obtained by measuring the values of shear stress varying the shear rate from 100 to 600 s-1 within 250 seconds. For the analysis of the apparent viscosity at different shear rates was applied simple linear regression until 2nd degree with the aid of SAS (SAS/Stat 9.2) program. The apparent viscosity data were submitted to analysis of variance and the averages were compared by Tukey test at 5% of probability. Higher temperatures of the samples were correlated to lower shear stress values, hence lower values for viscosity and consistency index were obtained, since it is known that the density and viscosity are highly sensitive to temperature and that the increase in temperature results in reduction of viscosity, benefiting the fluid flow. The models of Newton and Ostwald-de-Waelle were chosen to evaluate the rheological behavior of the samples, showing a good fit for the rheological data.
