The effects of various postchill deboning times on functional, color, yield, and sensory attributes of broiler breast meat were determined. Broiler breast muscles were deboned at 2, 4, 6, and 24 h postmortem, and pH, color change, cooking yield, shear force values, and sensory traits of the breast meat were recorded. Data were examined by multivariate data analysis, namely principal component a...

The texture development in experimentally sheared aggregates of olivine was monitored as a function of increased water content and added melt. In dry samples, an alignment of {010} with the shear plane and <100> and <001> with the shear direction, respectively, was observed, consistent with intracrystalline glide on the (010)[100] and (010)[001] slip systems. Samples with high water content sho...

A review of flow and texture modeling of liquid crystalline materials with emphasis on carbonaceous mesophases is presented. Two models of nematodynamics are presented and discussed in terms of their ability to resolve time and length scales likely to arise in typical rheological and processing flows. Defect physics and rheophysics are integrated with nematodynamics and specific mechanisms of d...

Breast fillet quality was evaluated from 37-, 39-, 42-, 44-, 46-, 49-, and 51-d-old broilers after post-chill (PC) aging of the carcass 0, 2, 4, or 6 h and deboning. Fillets were vacuum sealed in cooking bags and heated to an internal temperature of 72 C by submersion in a 95 C water bath. Cook yield was determined as the weight percentage of the fillet remaining after cooking. Texture of the c...

A strong strain rate dependence on the crystallographic texture of oxygen-free high conductivity copper is observed and reported for the first time. Two shear compression specimens were deformed at widely different strain rates (0.001 s 1 and 7000 s ) to the same strain, and their textures were determined using orientation image microscopy. By comparing the stress–strain curves and the major te...

Employing a recent modeling scheme for grain boundary sliding [Zhao et al. Adv. Eng. Mater.2017, doi:10.1002/adem.201700212], crystallographic textures were simulated for nanocrystalline fcc metals deformed in shear compression. It is shown that, as grain boundary sliding increases, the texture strength decreases while the signature of the texture type remains the same. Grain boundary sliding a...

We report the first direct observation of shear-induced structures in low concentration wormlike micellar solutions. The structures consist of micron-sized patches which are much larger than individual equilibrium micelles and occupy 5%–10% of the fracture area. Such morphologies are consistent with recent reports of increased light scattering under shear flow. The structures have a stippled or...

OBJECTIVE This paper presents the use of the texture matching method to measure the rabbit carotid artery elasticity value of the experimental group and control group respectively. It compares the experimental rabbits, when they are prompted by pathological histology to be at the period of carotid atherosclerosis fatty streaks and fiber plaques, with the control group. METHODS We have used ul...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of barley- or corn-based diets containing 0, 10, or 20% potato by-product (DM basis) on Warner-Bratzler shear force and palatability of beef. One hundred forty-four crossbred beef steers (333+/-.44 kg) were allotted within weight block (3) to a randomized complete block design with a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement of dietary treatments.
