Rheology for the food industry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rheological measurements are quite relevant in the food industry as a tool for physical characterization of raw material prior to processing, for intermediate products during manufacturing, and for finished foods. There are several approaches to conduct these rheological characterizations, and the selected technique pretty much depend on the specific product and the functional characteristics in need to be analyzed. Several different types of equipments are available to scientists as a tool in food rheological studies leading to acceptable results in most design situations. This paper will focus on the review and discussion of some of the most relevant rheological tests of current interest to the food industry in selected examples, i.e. gels and emulsions. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Rheological Challenges for the Food Industry
Several key challenges for rheologists working in the food industry are presented. These range from pure material science problems (complex yield behaviour, fracture mechanics of “soft” materials, interfacial rheology) and interactions with solid surfaces (wall slip) to the probably biggest challenge: the effects of rheology on processes inside the human body. Finally, the need for enhanced tea...
متن کاملEffect of a functional food (vegetable soup) on blood rheology in patients with polycythemia
Objective: Key hemorheological variables are associated with several life-threatening diseases including cardio-cerebro-vascular diseases. A diet can influence the blood rheological variables. To compare the effectiveness of a vegetable soup on blood viscosity (BV), hematocrit (Hct), plasma fibrinogen, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), and blood osmolarity in patients with polycythemia ...
متن کاملPotential Evaluation and Optimization of Natural Biopolymers in Water-Based Drilling Mud
Drilling cost optimization has always been an important issue in the petroleum industry. In order to save costs and create new markets for local materials, Ofo (D. micocarpum) and food gum (C. populnea) powders were evaluated in this study at high temperature as alternative to imported chemical additives in water based drilling fluid. The base mud composed of alkali beneficiated local clay, ach...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effect of Polythin and Polydrill on the Properties of Drilling Fluids
In this study, synthetic sulfonated polymers were used in order to enhance the rheological properties of drilling fluids. The capability of these polymers in reducing the effects of environmentally friendly, but harmful, pollutants such as cement, calcium chloride, gypsum as well as pH changes were investigated. In the present work, two sulfonated synthetic polymers, namely Polythin and Polydri...
متن کاملRheological Issues in the Paper Industry
The paper industry has a number of processes where the rheology is complex and critical to control for trouble free operation. The rheological properties of pulp suspensions and paper coatings are reviewed here. The flow, rheology and other various phenomena are discussed for pulp suspensions. The particle level models that have been developed for pulp suspensions are compared to experimental r...
