This study demonstrated feasibility of producing soluble protein powders from pink (PSP) and red (RSP) salmon heads. Differences were observed between physicochemical properties of the two protein powders, including nitrogen solubility, emulsion stability, and fat adsorption capacity. The flow and viscoelastic properties of the emulsions prepared with PSP and RSP were investigated using a parallel plate rheometer. The power law model and the Casson model were used to determine the flow behavior index (n), and consistency index (K) and yield stress. The emulsion containing PSP (PSPE) had a higher K value (8 Pa.s) than that (4.2 Pa.s) of the emulsion containing RSP (RSPE). Both PSPE and RSPE emulsions exhibited pseudoplastic behavior and viscoelastic characteristics. The G’ (an elastic or storage modulus) and G” (a viscous or loss modulus) values for PSPE were higher than RSPE.

This paper presents a theoretical analysis of lubrication of rolling contact bearings considering cavitation with a non-Newtonian lubricant, obeying the power law model. Piezo-viscous and deformation effects are neglected. The analysis reveals, that as the flow behavior index increases, the load capacity increases and the point of cavitation as well as the point of maximum pressure is shifted towards the center of contact. It is also indicated that the present analysis may be considered as providing an approximation to human joint lubrication problem.

The effect of two novel hydrocolloids known as Balangu seed gum (BSG) and palmate-tuber salep (PTS) with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on the rheological characteristics of a typical soft ice cream was studied. The power law model well described the flow behavior of mixes with a high correlation coefficient (r). The flow behavior index was in the range of 0.450-1.154, while the consistency coefficient varied from 0.051 to 6.822 Pa sn. All mixes showed a pseudoplastic behavior except the mix containing 0.3% PTS, which was found to have a slightly dilatant characteristic. An increase in the concentration was accompanied by an increase in the pseudoplasticity and consistency coefficient. The effect of selected gums on some sensory properties of a soft ice cream such as viscosity, coldness, firmness, degree of smoothness (coarseness), liquefying rate, body and texture and total acceptance has also been investigated in this work. The correlation between the apparent viscosity and sensory attributes has been determined because of the importance of viscosity in the quality evaluation of an ice cream. Taking into account the commercial ice cream properties, a 0.4% BSG gum concentration may be recommended.

Abstract A rotational viscometer was used to investigate the effect of different sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose and lactose, 1–4% w/w) and salts (NaCl and CaCl2, 0.1–1% w/w), on rheological properties of Basil seed gum (BSG). The viscosity was dependent on type of sugar and salt addition. Interactions between BSG gum and sugars improved the viscosity of solutions, whereas the viscosity of the BSG solutions decreased in the presence of salts. Power law model well-described non-Newtonian shear thinning behavior of BSG. The consistency index was influenced by the sugars and salts content. Addition of sucrose, glucose, lactose and salts to BSG led to increases in flow behavior index (less shear thinning solutions), whereas fructose increased shear thinning of solutions. Flow behavior index values of the power law model vary as follows: 0.43–0.49, 0.53–0.64, 0.21–0.26, and 0.57–0.67 for sucrose, glucose, fructose and lactose, respectively. The consistency coefficient (k) of BSG was affected by sugars and salts. It decreased from 0.14 to 0.09 Pa.sn with increasing CaCl2 from 0 to 4% w/w (20°C, 0.2% w/w BSG). The consistency coefficient values vary as follows: 0.094–0.119, 0.075–0.098, 0.257–0.484, and 0.056–0.074 for sucrose, glucose, fructose and lactose, respectively.

The equibiaxial extensional viscosity of the doughs prepared from gluten and xanthan gum at three levels was determined in this work. The gluten-xanthan gum mixture exhibited strain rate thinning behavior at constant strain, and can be described by power-law model. The consistency index increased with increasing strain and xanthan gum content, while flow behavior index decreased with increasing strain and increased with increasing xanthan gum content. Cross-links in gluten network increased after xanthan gum addition and the increase magnitude was more markable at higher deformation rate.

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.

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.

AbstractA methodology is presented to invert the flow equation of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid in Couette concentric cylinder geometry, thus enabling simultaneous computation of the true shear rates, γ̇HB, and of the three Herschel-Bulkley rheological parameters. The errors made when these rheological parameters are computed using Newtonian shear rates, γ̇N, as it is normal practice by research and industry personnel, can then be estimated. Quantification of these errors has been performed using narrow gap viscometer data from literature, with most of them taken with oil-field rheometers. The results indicate that significant differences exist between the yield stress and the flow behavior index computed using γ̇HB versus the parameters obtained using γ̇N and this is an outcome of the higher γ̇HB values. Predicted true shear rates and rheological parameters are in very good agreement with results reported by other investigators, who have followed different approaches to invert the flow equation, both for yield-pseudoplastic and power-law fluids.

The packed bed columns with non-Newtonian liquid are increasing importance as a simple and inexpensive means of achieving yield of different chemical and biochemical processes though their hydrodynamic behavior is complex and not yet fully understood. In this article non-Newtonian flow behavior on frictional pressure was investigated in packed bed within a range of liquid velocity 0.004-0.04 m/s. The frictional pressure loss in non-Newtonian liquid system has been analyzed by modified Ergun equation. The modification of the Ergun equation is incorporated with the flow behavior index of non-Newtonian liquid. The degree of frictional pressure loss decreases with increase in flow behavior index. A correlation has been developed to interpret the degree of effect on the frictional pressure loss. The correlation may be useful for further understanding and scale-up of the packed bed column for its industrial application.
