The suitability of pea flour for cracker biscuits production was investigated in this study. Pea flour was characterised by high protein (21.46 %) and ash (3.11 %) content and exhibited relatively high emulsifying (37.50 ml/100 ml) and foaming (53.50 ml/100 ml) capacity. The effect of pea flour incorporation to wheat dough (substitution levels 0, 10, 20 and 30 %) on the rheological properties, ...

This study was aimed at evaluating the flow behavior characteristics of yogurt enriched with fish oil (FO) microcapsules prepared by complex coacervation method. FO was microencapsulated in gelatin-acacia gum coacervates. Then, the microcapsules were dried, and yogurt was produced from the milk enriched with microcapsules powder. Rheological characteristics (as measured using a rotational visco...

This study examined shape changes in two typical wastewater flocs subjected to cyclic freezing and thawing and the associated force exerted by the ice front. While freezing, the engulfing ice front gradually pulled the floc apart. Subsequent thawing only partially restored the floc's shape. By the Maxwell model, used to interpret gross shape deformations, both flocs were visco-elastic objects e...

© Appl. Rheol. 20 (2010) 63293 DOI: 10.3933/ApplRheol-20-63293 Abstract: Bitumen is undoubtedly the most important material in the construction and rehabilitation of flexible road pavements. By increasing the temperature, bitumen changes from brittle solid, to viscoelastic solid and finally to Newtonian fluid. The rheological characteristics of bitumen also vary greatly due to aging, which is a...

• Blood has been recognized as a non-Newtonian fluid for many years. Only recently' have the rheological properties of blood been studied under shear rates near zero flow. These studies have suggested that the viscosity of blood increases indefinitely as the shear rate approaches zero. The problem of blood rheology under very low shear rates seemed to us worthy of further investigation, because...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the viscoelastic properties of cervical mucus plugs(CMPs) shed during labor at term. DESIGN Experimental research. SETTING Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. POPULATION/SAMPLE Spontaneously shed CMPs from 18 healthy women in active labor. METHODS Viscoelastic properties of CMPs were investigated with a dynamic oscillat...
