Effect of particle size, concentration, temperature and pH on rheological properties of shallots flour

Abstract

Shallot flour was prepared and sieved into three different particle sizes of \ 180 lm (sample A), 180 lm (sample B) and 250 lm (sample C). Effect of concentration [0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% (w/w)], temperature (20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 °C), pH (4, 7 and 10) and freezing (-20 °C) on rheological properties of shallot flour were studied at increasing shear of 0.1-100 s -1 . Effect of dynamic change in temperature (15-95 °C) was also measured at constant shear rate of 50 s -1 . Power law (Eq. 2) model with coefficient of determination (R 2 ) above 0.90, well described the rheological behavior of the shallot flour as a shear thinning, non-Newtonian fluid at different concentration, temperature and pH. All the samples had n values below 1 and increase in viscosity or consistency index (k) value with increase in concentration of the sample was observed, while inverse relation was observed when temperature was increased. All samples showed increase in k value when the pH of the dispersion was varied from acidic to alkaline condition. Viscosity of samples were found unaffected even after freezing in freeze-thaw cycle. These data show sample A to be most suitable for their application as thickener, having highest k value. The obtained research provides information for utilization of shallot as a thickener in various food industries.

Partial replacement of saturated fats in liver pâté by an olive oil‐in‐water emulsion containing β‐glucan shows no compromise in sensory and storage oxidation of lipids and protein

“…The consistency index is an indicator of the viscous nature of a sample and provides the relation of sample consistency 38 . Here, an increase in viscosity was also confirmed by the increased consistency coefficient index with an increase in added fibre.…”

“…The inclusion of fibre causing an increase in viscosity was also reported by Elleuch et al 37 The consistency index is an indicator of the viscous nature of a sample and provides the relation of sample consistency. 38 Here, an increase in viscosity was also confirmed by the increased consistency coefficient index with an increase in added fibre. The flow behaviour index is categorised into pseudoplastic/shear-thinning behaviour as departure from Newtonian (n close to 1) to non-Newtonian fluid behaviour (n < 1).…”

“…The flow behavior was tested as described by Khusbhu and Sunil (2020), using a rotational type viscometer (MCR 52 Anton Paar Co. Ltd., Australia) with operating parameters: measuring temperature of 30 C, shear rate ranging from 1 to 100 s À1 and clearance 1 mm.…”

Effects of Concentration and Type of Lipids on the Droplet Size, Encapsulation, Colour and Viscosity in the Oil-in-Water Emulsions Stabilised by Rapeseed Protein

“…The flow behaviour index categorizes into pseudoplastic/shear thinning behaviour as a departure from Newtonian (n close to 1) to non-Newtonian fluid behaviour (n < 1) [ 32 ]. The consistency index indicates the viscous nature of the examined emulsion and shows how the consistency of the sample is related [ 33 ]. High lipid emulsions had low n values, indicating most likely viscoelastic properties.…”
