Critical concentration can be determined rheologically based on zero shear viscosity , apparent viscosity, specific viscosity, and consistency index of dilute polymer solution. Direct experimental comparison of the aforementioned methods for critical concentration determination is still lacking. Therefore, this study aims to experimentally compare different viscosity methods to determine critical concentration of three different pectin solutions (sun flower, citrus, and apple). The three pectin sources at concentrations of 0.1–3.0 % (w/v) showed Newtonian to shear thinning behavior. The critical concentration ranges of pectin, from the lowest to highest, was sunflower (0.6792−0.9589 % (w/v)), citrus (0.7172−1.0347 % (w/v)), and apple (0.7645−1.1233 % (w/v)). Critical concentration determined based on consistency index was relatively close to the result obtained from zero shear viscosity. Whereas critical concentrations of the pectin solutions determined from specific viscosity and apparent viscosity were significantly different from critical concentration determined from zero shear viscosity.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135353914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, SPI:DRB at ratio of 50:50, 65:35 and 80:20 (w/w) was blended to produce TVP with 50–70 % protein (TSP50–70), respectively. In addition, RPI:DRB was also blended at the same ratio to produce non beany odor TVP with 50–70 % protein (TRP50–70). All samples were extruded using twin screw extruder. Extrusion condition was fixed at 25 % of feed moisture, 400 rpm of screw speed and 130 °C of die temperature. Next, properties of TSP50–70 and TRP50–70 before and after rehydration were characterized. For TSP50–70, studied properties consisting of expansion ratio, density, WAC, WHC and OHC of TSP50–70 were 2.20–2.27 %, 0.26–0.34 kg/m3, 414–446 %, 2.87–4.88 g H2O/g and 2.55–2.73 g oil/g respectively. These properties values were closed and in the same range of commercial-TVP (C-TVP). However, texture of TSP50 and TSP70 was significantly different, as decreasing DRB content from 50 (TSP50) to 20 % (TSP70) improved texture in terms of hardness (from 0.51 to 1.88 N), springiness (from 0.73 to 0.96) and cohesiveness (from 0.46 to 0.81) of TSP. Therefore, to add value to DRB, TSP70 (80 % SPI and 20 % DRB) was proposed to produce TSP. For TRP, expansion ratio, density, WAC, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness of TRP50–70 were 1.07–1.34 %, 0.63–0.88 kg/m3, 78–158 %, 1.03–9.10 N, 0.71–0.85 and 0.27–0.29 which were out of range compared to C-TVP.","PeriodicalId":13976,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Food Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49592453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With a visual system, the state changes of the material during the drying process were recorded. The specific heat, viscosity and thermal conductivity of the FOS at different temperatures and moisture contents were measured. From the perspective of drying characteristics, the whole drying process can be divided into four periods: the increasing drying rate period AB, the first falling drying rate period BC, the second falling drying rate period CD and the third falling drying rate period DE. The heat transfer mode in AB and BC was boiling heat transfer, with the material viscosity less than 267.9 Pa·s. In CD period, the heat transfer mode was convection heat transfer with the material viscosity of 267.9 Pa·s to 501.6 Pa·s. In DE period, the material viscosity was greater than 501.6 Pa·s and did not have fluidity, and the heat transfer mode was heat conduction.
