What is Rheology ?
❑ We encounter rheology in our daily life!
❑ We eat breakfast, perhaps using a range of spreads for toast, or
perhaps eating instant noodle with chili or tomato sauces.
❑ We all have squeezed toothpaste tubes or tried to rub skin lotion
on our leg.
❖ Rheology is simply one way of describing those sensations!!
What is Rheology ?
❑ Rheology is the science of flow and deformation of matter and
describes the interrelation between force, deformation and time.
❑ The term comes from Greek "rheos" meaning to flow.
❑ Rheology is applicable to all materials, from gases, liquid, semi-
solids to solids.
Rheological Properties
Why rheology is important ?
❑ Food materials are “visco-elastic”
i.e., Tomato sauce, ice cream, chocolate, pudding/gel, spreads.
❑ Rheological measurements can aid in the understanding of how the
viscosity and elasticity of foods are influenced by changes in
composition, processing, and storage parameters
• Process Design
• Process Evaluation
• Quality Control
• Product Development
• Consumer Preference
Rheological Properties
Food materials have different rheological characteristics:
❑ Liquid Products vary in viscosity and in the nature of the flow: thin liquid
is easy to flow and thicker liquid is more difficult to flow.
❑ Semi-Solid Products have properties between liquid and solid
properties: e.g., butter, peanut butter, margarine, dodol and gelatin
Rheological Properties
❑ Solid Products have no viscosity and flow properties: e.g., biscuits,
potato chips, crackers, etc.
➢ Solid products when given a certain mechanical force either pressed or
pulled, will break.
➢ For solid products, the rheological properties measured are textures such
as hardness, ease of fracture (fracturability), elasticity, etc.

Understanding Stress and Strain
❑Stress: The intensity or magnitude of a force on the surface of a particular
field and expressed in units of force (F) per area (A).
❑Concept of stress:

❑Strain: the change ratio of size from the original shape in units of cm/cm,
in/in or %, is a dimensionless parameter.
Understanding Stress and Strain
❑ Stress is dependent on both force and area.
Equations describe stress:
σ = F/A
Where σ is stress obtained when a force F is
uniformly applied to a matter with area A
Understanding Stress and Strain
Type of stress

➢Compressive (directed toward the material)


➢Tensile (directed away from the material)
➢Shearing (directed tangentially to the material)
Understanding Stress and Strain
Compression Stress

There are 2 types of compression tests, namely


1. Uniaxial compression
2. Bulk compression
Understanding Stress and Strain
Tensile Stress

❑ This particular stress is called a


tensile stress because the
force is acting outwards at
right angles to the block
surface.
❑ Applicable to test elasticity
and rigidity of material
Understanding Stress and Strain
Shear Stress
❑ Shear stress is shear force divided by the area of
the surface on which it is acting

Viscosity η τ = η * γ
Shear stress τ τ = F

Rheological Instruments for Fluids
Viscometer vs Rheometer
Instruments that only measure Instruments which measure
viscosity rheological properties

Viscometers only measure under one Rheometer is used for liquids with viscosities
flow condition. which vary with flow conditions.
Viscometer
Definition:
“A viscometer is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid.”
➢ It is also known as “ Viscosimeter.”
➢ Viscometer only measures under one flow condition

Two types of Viscometer:


1. Rotational type
2. Tube type
Viscometer
Viscosity measurement using
Rotational Viscometer

❑ To measure the viscosity and flow properties of a liquid


❑ Based on the rotational force of the spindle which is
regulated by its rotational speed.
❑ The diameter and shape of spindles are different which
are usually numbered # 1, # 2, # 3, etc.
❑ Torque: Percent to the maximum rotational speed of a
spindle.

Example:
If viscosity of a liquid is measured at a rotation speed of 6 rpm with spindle # 3,
the value of the torque read is 40.6%.
Thus, the viscosity value is 40.6%*200 = 8120 mPa.s = 8.12 Pa.s.
Viscosity
Note : m [=] g cm-1det-1 = poise
1 poise = 100 cp

Example:
Water (20oC, 1 atm) = 1.0019 cp
Water (80oC, 1 atm) = 0.3548 cp
Air (20oC, 1 atm) = 0.01813 cp
C2H5OH (lq; 20oC, 1 atm) = 1.194 cp
H2SO4 (lq; 25oC, 1 atm) = 19.15 cp
Glycerol (lq; 20oC, 1 atm) = 1069 cp

Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Foods

➢ Newtonian foods: material


whose viscosity value is not
influenced by the magnitude
of the force

➢ Non-Newtonian foods: the


viscosity value will be
greatly influenced by the
force given
Characteristics of Newtonian and non-Newtonian foods
Viscosity type Characteristics and Food Examples
Viscosity is not affected by changes in shear rate and remains constant.
Newtonian
Examples: water, fruit juice, carbonated beverages, milk, vegetable oils
A certain shear stress (called the yield stress) is required to initiate flow;
Bingham plastic
once flow starts, shear rate has no effect. Example: tomato paste,
A yield point must be achieved to cause product flow, at which point
Bingham pseudoplastic
pseudoplastic, behavior is observed. Examples: mayonnaise, margarine
“Shear thinning”: fluids decrease in viscosity as shear rate increases.
pseudoplastic Examples: applesauce, banana puree, orange juice concentrate, guar and
xanthan gum thickened products
“Shear thickening”: fluids increase in viscosity as shear rate increases.
dilatant
Examples: corn starch suspensions, chocolate syrups
Newtonian Foods
Examples:
➢ Water
➢ Honey
➢ Milk
➢ Vegetable oils
➢ Fruit juices
➢ Sugar and salt solutions
Non-Newtonian Foods
Pseudoplastic Foods
(Shear Thinning Foods)

Examples:
➢ Applesauce
➢ Banana puree
➢ Orange juice concentrate
➢ Oyster sauce
➢ CMC solution

This type of fluid will display a decreasing viscosity with an


increasing shear rate, as shown in figure.
Non-Newtonian Foods
Dilatant Foods
(Shear Thickening Foods)

Examples:
➢ Liquid Chocolate
➢ 40% Corn starch solution
➢ Sand/water mixtures

❑ Increasing viscosity with an increase in shear rate


characterizes the dilatant fluid; as shown in figure
❑ Dilatancy is frequently observed in fluids containing
high levels of deflocculated solids
Non-Newtonian Foods
Bingham Plastic Foods

Examples:
➢ Tomato ketchup
➢ Tooth paste

❑ This type of fluid will behave as a solid under static conditions.


❑ A certain amount of force must be applied to the fluid before
any flow is induced; this force is called the "yield stress”.
Non-Newtonian Foods
Importance of yield stress
When stress is less than yield stress, material does
not flow. It behaves like a solid.

Yield stress

Important for development of materials like butter,


yogurt, cheese spread.

Factors Affecting Viscosity
1. Temperature
❖ Usually there is an inverse relationship
between viscosity and temperature.
❖ Typical data is shown in Fig. 3.10 which
plots the viscosity of water and some
sugar solutions as a function of
temperature.
❖ The temperature increase, the viscosity
decrease
Factors Affecting Viscosity
2. Solute Concentration
❖ Usually it is a direct non-linear relationship
between solute concentration and
viscosity at a fixed temperature
❖ Fig. 3.11 shows the behavior of the
viscosity-concentration of saline and
sucrose solutions at a fixed temperature
Factors Affecting Viscosity
3. Molecular Weight of Solute
❖ There is usually a non-linear
relationship between the
molecular weight of the solute and
the viscosity of the solution at
equilibrium concentrations.
❖ Fig. 3.12 shows the viscosity of
corn syrup as a function of
molecular weight
❖ Corn syrup is made by
hydrolyzing with high molecular
weight starch to dextrose
Factors Affecting Viscosity
4. Pressure
❖ The viscosity of most liquids is basically constant at a pressure range of 0-100 atm.
❖ So the effects of pressure can usually be ignored for food.

5. Material Suspension
❖ Usually this slightly increases the viscosity when at low concentrations, but high
suspended material can cause a significant increase.
❖ High concentration suspended material usually changes non-Newtonian products and
can cause plastic or dilatant flow.
❖ The concentration of insoluble suspension material has a real effect on viscosity and
thick flow type.
TEXTURE ANALYSIS
What is Texture?
Texture comprises those properties of a foodstuff, apprehended by
the eyes and by the and muscle senses in the mouth, including
roughness, smoothness, graininess, etc. (Anonymous, 1964)

Texture is the attribute of a substance resulting from a combination


of physical properties and perceived by the senses of touch, sight,
and hearing.
Physical properties may include size, shape, number, nature, and
conformation of constituent structural elements (Jowitt, 1974)

Rapid Visco Analyzer
Principle of measurement
❖ RVA can indicate the viscosity of starch or other materials (flour)
by measuring the resistance of the material to the force of stirring
(paddle).
❖ The thicker the suspension or slurry of a material, the greater the
resistance to stirring forces, so the peak viscosity will be higher.

Commonly used analytical methods


❖ A flour sample weighing 3.5 grams (with ka= 14%) is mixed with
25 ml (25 g) of water (buffer) and stirred until homogeneous to
form a slurry.
❖ Place in the RVA tool and stir with the desired programming.

Brabender Amylograph

• The amylograph analyzes viscosity by measuring the


resistance of a flour-and-water slurry to the stirring
action of pins or paddles.
• When the slurry is heated, the starch granules swell
and the slurry becomes a paste.
• A thicker slurry has more resistance to the pins during
stirring and has a higher peak viscosity. Generally, a
thicker slurry indicates less enzyme activity and
makes better products.

Measurement steps
❖ The heating stage, namely the viscograph temperature will increase from 30oC to 95oC at a
speed of 1.5oC/minute. At this stage, the starch suspension will undergo a gelatinization process
and starch paste will be produced.
❖ The holding stage at the cooking temperature, namely the viscograph temperature is
maintained at 95 oC for 20-30 minutes to determine the stability of the starch paste at this
cooking temperature.
❖ Cooling stage, namely the temperature of the sample in the viscograph will be reduced
gradually from 95 oC to 50 oC at a speed of 1.5 oC/minute. The starch paste will gradually turn
into a gel, causing its viscosity to increase.
❖ The holding stage at the cooling temperature, namely the viscograph temperature is
maintained at 50 oC for 20-30 minutes to determine the stability of the starch paste by the stirring
process.

Gelatinization time (minutes)


❖ The time when the viscograph begins to record the initial reading of the viscosity value.
On the viscogram, the gelatinization time can be read at the heating stage when the
recording pencil begins to deviate from the 0 BU line.

Gelatinization Temperature (oC)


❖ The temperature at which the viscograph starts to read the viscosity value. Because the
viscogram does not record temperature, the gelatinization temperature is calculated by
multiplying the speed of temperature increase (1.5oC/min) by the gelatinization time
(min) plus the initial temperature of the heating process (e.g., 30oC).
Brabender Amylograph

Granule rupture time (minutes)


❖ The time when the viscograph reads the maximum value of viscosity at the heating
process stage. On the viscogram, the gelatinization time can be read when the viscosity
value on the viscograph reaches its peak value.

Maximum viscosity (BU)


❖ The maximum viscosity value (peak point) of the starch paste is read by the viscograph
during the heating stage.

Viscosity at 95 oC (B)
❖ The viscosity value of the paste at the heating stage after reaching a temperature of 95oC
(point C).
Brabender Amylograph
Measurable parameters

Granule rupture temperature (oC)


❖ The temperature at the viscograph in the heating process stage records the maximum
viscosity value. The gelatinization temperature is calculated by multiplying the speed of
temperature increase (1.5oC/min) by the time the granules break down (min) plus the
initial temperature of the heating process (e.g., 50oC).

Viscosity at 95 oC after holding (BU)


❖ The viscosity of the paste after the temperature of the viscograph is maintained at 95oC
for a certain time (20-30 min). This viscosity shows the level of stability of the starch
paste during cooking.
Brabender Amylograph
Measurable parameters

Breakdown viscosity (BU)


❖ Breakdown viscosity describes the level of stability of starch paste to the heating process.
This breakdown viscosity is obtained as the difference between the maximum viscosity
and the viscosity of the starch paste after reaching 95oC at the heating stage.

Viscosity at 50oC (BU)


❖ The viscosity value of the paste after the end of the cooling stage, where the paste has
reached a temperature of 50oC.

Setback viscosity (BU)


❖ Setback viscosity describes the degree of tendency of the starch paste retrogradation
process. This setback viscosity is obtained as the difference between the viscosity at a
temperature of 50oC and the maximum viscosity at the heating process stage.

Stability of paste viscosity during the stirring process (BU)


❖ The stability of the viscosity of the paste during the stirring process was observed at the
cooling stage, which was calculated from the difference between the viscosity of the
paste at a temperature of 50oC after holding and the viscosity of the paste at a
temperature of 50oC before holding.
