Baking kinetics of beetroot slices were analysed at 110, 120, and 130 °C. The mass transfer coefficient, <em>k</em><sub><em>Y</em></sub>; critical and equilibrium moisture concentrations (<em>C</em><sub><em>c</em></sub>, <em>C</em><sub><em>∞</em></sub>) ranged from 1.91 to 2.10 kg water/m<sup>2</sup>sΔ<em>Y</em>, 4.22–5.36 kg water/kg d.s., and 0.10–0.11 kg water/kg d.s., respectively, indicating a faster water movement with temperature.

Diffusivity modelling showed that MSS is inadequate for accurately capturing moisture transfer during the falling-rate period. Its limited accuracy stems from the oversimplified assumption of constant diffusivity throughout the baking process of beetroot slices. In contrast, variable diffusivity models, including the QFT model and the Weibull distribution model, provided satisfactory fits to experimental data on average water concentration.

Emulsion stability was assessed via spectrophotometric turbidity measurements and kinetic modeling to capture the flocculation (k<sub>f</sub>) and coalescence (kd) phases, while texture profile analysis revealed time-dependent changes in firmness, cohesiveness, and work of cohesion. Droplet-size distributions were measured by microscopy and analyzed under a log-normal model. Results show that xanthan-enriched (≥0.75 XG) emulsions exhibit slower flocculation onset owing to higher zero-shear viscosity, yet eventually become susceptible to coalescence at elevated temperatures (45 °C) and higher oil fractions (≥5 %). Guar-rich systems initially display rapid droplet flocculation (high k<sub>f</sub>), forming transient floc structures that undermine long-term stability. An intermediate ratio (0.5:0.5) balances the flexible thickening of guar with xanthan's more robust network, yielding minimized coalescence rates and stable droplet sizes. A depletion-potential model, incorporating polymer layer thickness and osmotic pressure, confirmed that guar-rich blends experience deep negative potentials (≥10<sup>3</sup> kB T), indicative of strong depletion flocculation.

Therefore, this study adopts a finite-discrete element method (FDEM) combined with cohesive elements to construct a numerical model of the walnut shell, aiming to analyze the stress transfer mechanism on the surface of the walnut shell. This study introduces a non-uniform distribution coefficient to describe the stress distribution characteristics on the surface of the walnut shell under multi-point loading conditions and delves into the impact of loading positions and the number of loading points on the crushing characteristics of the walnut shell, thereby revealing the cracking mechanism of the walnut shell under multi-point loading. The research results show that the internal stress distribution within the walnut shell exhibits significant non-uniformity under different loading conditions. Especially under four-point loading with a non-uniform distribution coefficient of 0.92, the number of stress concentration points on the surface of the walnut shell is significantly higher than other loading methods. These results demonstrate that walnut shell failure primarily stems from tensile stress amplification at weak zones (e.g., suture lines), not shear.
