Texture is an important property for most food products and is usually characterised by different rheological methods together with data from microstructural investigations. However, the correlation between results from rheological measurements and microstructural data is not always unambiguous. Therefore the demand of developing new types of rheological measurements as well as structural measu...

Soluble proteins, myofibrillar proteins, collagen, texture, and cook loss were evaluated at different meat temperatures by heating ground and formed chicken breast meat in brass containers in a water bath to temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 C. The soluble proteins decreased by approximately 90% as meat temperature increased from 23 to 80 C. The myofibrillar protein subunits of molecular we...

An investigation has been carried out into the microstructures developed during the early stages of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) in a polycrystalline single-phase Al-0.13Mg alloy, with emphasis on the substructural alignment with respect to the die geometry and the crystallographic slip systems, which is essentially related to the grain refinement and texture development during deform...

Gold bonding wires have been manufactured through multiple drawing steps with serial and reverse-direction drawing. The texture and microstrucure of the gold bonding wires were characterized with X-ray diffraction and EBSD and compared with the predictions of finite element (FE) imulation. Initial 〈1 0 0〉 fiber decreases during drawing and is replaced by 〈1 1 1〉 fiber. The 〈1 0 0〉 oriented grai...

Heavily rolled in-situ MMCs of Cu-20 vol% Nb have been investigated by means of quantitative texture analysis mainly for three reasons. First, the crystallographic texture can be very sensitive to the deformation process. Second, the orientation distribution affects the strength of the material in terms of the Taylor factor. Third, the influence of a massive second phase on texture development ...

The effect of strain rate on the deformation texture of alpha-iron ( -Fe) is studied at different strain levels during the deformation. Two shear compression specimens (SCS) were deformed in three consecutive stages at room temperature, one at 10 /s and the other at 10 /s, to the same strain level. The crystallographic textures were determined using electron backscattered diffraction. The textu...

UNLABELLED This article reports on the impact of shear on crystallization upon cooling of palm oil. Samples were cooled down under shear from 70 to 10 degrees C, then kept at this temperature, while performing rheological measurements using a controlled shear rate rheometer and rheo-optical observations using optical microscopy and small-angle light scattering. Shear rates between 1 and 300 s(-...
