Abstract:

Food gums are hydrophilic colloids, which due to their functional properties are used in the food industry. For non-Newtonian rubber solutions to these factors must be added the dependence between the shear stress and the shear rate. Experimental data were obtained with a Haake RV20 rotary viscometer with a con-plate system. The range of shear speeds for which the determinations were made was between 24 and 3177s-1, and the shear stresses between 2.2 and 116.9Pa.
