Design/Methodology/Approach: Samples of non-stunned broiler breast meat (n=10) and stunned broiler breast meat (n=10) which have undergone the Halal slaughter method were analysed on the quality parameters of protein solubility, emulsion activity index, emulsion stability index, pH, water holding capacity (drip loss and cooking loss), texture (shear force textural analysis), meat colour (L, a, ...

Titanium alloys are a key part of an armour designer’s toolset due to their high ballistic mass efficiency. However, titanium’s cost has restricted its use in military land-based vehicles. In this study, the effect different processing routes on microstructure, texture, performance V50 and deformation modes Ti-6Al-4V plate is investigated. Plates were fabricated via conventional hot rolling pow...

Clay-rich fault rocks have long been recognized to host distinctive fabric elements, and fault rock fabric is increasingly thought to play a fundamental role in fault mechanical behaviour in the brittle regime. Although the geometries of fabric elements in fault gouges have been described for almost a century, the genesis and evolution of these elements during shear, and their links to bulk mec...

A nickel-free high nitrogen duplex stainless steel holding Mn-content was friction stir spot welded under the various rotational speeds. The microstructure/texture evolutions of joints and correlated mechanical properties were investigated in detail. ferrite austenite constituent massive phases refined down to mean grain size 0.9 μm 1.1 μm, respectively. microstructure revealed activation conti...

The influence of the breed [Mos (Spanish indigenous breed), Sasso T-44 and X-44 (commercial strains)] and the age (5, 6, 7 and 8 months) of capons (castrated male cockerels) on some qualitative traits of breast and drumstick meat were studied. The chemical composition (dry matter, protein, lipid and ash contents), pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, colour and texture (compress...

Objective Roughness is the main parameter in interlocking bonding mechanism. Yet there is no model designed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion of coating materials in pharmaceutical sciences. Materials and Methods In this study polymethyl metacrylate spherical beads with different sizes were poured into 10 mm mold, then it was pressed by hand screw and finally heated to 141...

A series of gels were used as model foods to understand relationships among rheological properties and sensory texture. Fracture stress was the best predictor of sensory fracture force and particle breakdown, whereas a measure of the nonlinear region was a better predictor of sensory deformation. INTRODUCTION Food texture is a complex property involving a constant evaluation of the rheological ...
