FOOD RHEOLOGY
IMPORTANCE OF RHEOLOGY- Study of rheological properties
is important in food science due to its utility in food processing
operations and sensory characteristics. It gives information
about the microstructure of a food. Rheology properties are
manifestation of the rate and nature of the deformation that
occurs when a material is stressed. These parameters can be
used to predict how the fluid will behave in a process and in
determining the energy requirement for transporting the fluid
from one point to another in processing plant. Rheologyical
parameters are also useful in defining the quality attribute of
food products.
3. z
Rheology is very important in the
following area in the food industry
(i) Mixing-Two or more material are blended manually or
mechanically. (ii) Flow Control-Flowablity of material varies from
very thin to highly viscous. (iii) Dispensing- Material comes out
easily or with difficulty. (iv) Settling/ Floating – Material with different
specific gravity either settle or float depending on viscosity of the
material. (v) Pumping- Liquids or semi-solids are forced through the
pipe (vi) Coating- Spreading of one material as thin layer over other.
(vii) Cleaning – Soil removal from the surface of the equipments
and pipeline. (viii) Control of processing parameters- velocity,
magnitude of pressure drop, piping design, pumping requirement
for fluid transport system, power requirement of agitation, power
requirement of mixing and blending, amount of heat generated
during extrusion etc.

Rheological Properties of Fluid Food
It is necessary to study properties of fluid food products for
designing and lay-outing of transport system (piping and pumping
layout). For the fluid food products, the design of transport system
mainly depends on the type and description of flow characteristics
of the product. Some of the properties are interdependent and
some are dependent on the fluid food composition and therefore it
is necessary to measure dependant properties and we can predict
its rheological properties. Most important dependant fluid food
property is viscosity i.e. resistance against flow, generally indicated
by μ i.e. dynamic viscosity / ή kinematic viscosity ( ή= μ/ ρ ). In food
industry μ is broadly used to describe a single parameter known as
‘consistency’. But this approach may lead to confusion in many
cases due to non-Newtonian behaviour of many fluid food products
6. z
Newtonian Fluids:
Newtonian fluids are fluids which exhibit a linear increase in the
shear stress with the rate of shear. These fluids exhibit a linear
relationship between the shear stress and the rate of shear. The
slope ' μ ' is constant therefore; the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid is
independent of the rate of shear. These fluids exhibit a pure viscous
flow i.e. the product begins to flow with the slightest force and the
rate of flow is proportional to the magnitude of force applied. The
examples of Newtonian fluids are milk, clear fruit juices, sucrose
solution, most types of honey, corn syrup etc.
The equation for characterizing Newtonian fluid is Τ = μ (-dv/dx) ----
- (Eq-1) Where, Τ = shear stress, μ = dynamic viscosity (η = μ/ρ) , -
dv/dx = velocity gradient
7. z
. Non-Newtonian Fluids:
A non-Newtonian fluid is broadly defined as one for which the
relationship between shear stress and shear rate is not a
constant. When the shear rate is varied, the shear stress doesn't
vary in the same proportion. These fluids exibit either shear
thinning or shear thickening behaviour and some exhibit a yield
stress. The two most commonly used equations for
characterizing non-Newtonian fluids are the power law model
(Eq-2) and Herschel-Bulkley model (Eq-3) for fluids. Τ = K ( γ )n
-------(Eq-2) 16 Τ = Τ 0 + K ( γ )n -------(Eq-3) Where, Τ = shear
stress, K = consistency constant, γ = shear rate, n = flow
behaviour index, Τ0 = yield stress
