ABSTRACT: Mayonnaise is probably one of the most widely used sauces worldwide. The oil content of traditionally mayonnaise is more than 65%. Fat has a role in creating viscosity, color and texture but might cause many diseases and disorders in human. In this study the influence of modified wheat bran as a fat replacer on the rheological properties of low fat mayonnaise was studied and compared ...

Bamboo is a type of biomass materials that has great potential as a bioenergy resource in China. The thermal-mechanical behavior of bamboo plays an important role in the formation process of pellets. To investigate the effect of moisture content (MC) on thermal-mechanical behavior of bamboo, the storage modulus and loss factor of moso bamboo was determined using dynamic mechanical thermal analy...

In this work, the structural and elastic moduli properties of ZnFe2O4, Zn0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4, and Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrites prepared by the citrate method have been investigated. The structuralcharacterization of the samples is evidence for a cubic structure with Fd-3m space group. TheHalder-Wagner analysis was used to study crystallite sizes and lattice strain and also stressand energy density. ...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

The rheological properties of four different Kuwaiti crude oils in the presence of polyacrylamide (PAA) were investigated. PAA was varied at three different concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 ppm to study the viscoelastic properties in the untreated samples. Four different temperatures (25, 30, 35, and 40 °C) were used to evaluate different viscoelastic parameters of the treated and untreated Kuw...

the most important quality indicator of fruits is the flesh firmness which is well correlated to their young’s modulus. in this research variation of vibration characteristics (shape modes, natural frequency) of apple due to change of material characteristics (density, young's models, poisson ratio) and apple volume was investigated using finite element simulation. an image processing technique...

background: common carotid arterial stiffness can be assessed during carotid arterial ultrasonography, but its association with brachial stiffness, a well-defined cardiovascular risk factor, has not been clarified. the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between common carotid artery and brachial artery stiffness. methods: the static pressure-strain elastic modulus of the common c...
