Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Comportamento reológico de suco misto elaborado com frutas tropicais(2013-06) BEZERRA, Carolina Vieira; SILVA, Luiza Helena Meller da; COSTA, Rebeca Desireé Sousa da; MATTIETTO, Rafaella de Andrade; RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da CruzThe rheological properties of a juice blend obtained from a tropical fruit mix were determined in this work using a rotational viscosimeter at temperatures from 10 ºC to 60 ºC. The Power law and Mizrahi-Berk models were fitted to the experimental data. All the models were considered adequate to describe the rheological properties of the juice blend according to the fitted statistical parameters. The behaviour index of the product was below 1.0, indicating the pseudoplasticity of the juice. The behaviour indexes for consistency were found to decrease with increase in temperature. The effect of temperature on the rheological behaviour of the juice was described by an Arrhenius type equation and discussed in terms of the activation energy (Ea). The values for Ea varied from 4.27 to 4.66 kcal.gmol-1 with increases in shear rate.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Propriedades reológicas do suco de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-02) RODRIGUES, Antonio Manoel da Cruz; BEZERRA, Carolina Vieira; SILVA, Ivonete Quaresma da; SILVA, Luiza Helena Meller daKnowing the rheological behavior of tropical fruit juices is very important for both consumers and food industry. This study investigated the rheological behavior of buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) juice. The rheological data were obtained through a rotational viscometer with concentric cylinder geometry (Brookfield, model DV II+). The assays were carried out at six different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 °C) and the experimental results were adjusted through the Power Law and Mizrahi-Berk models. The buriti juice showed non-Newtonian behavior at the six temperatures. When quantifying apparent viscosity (hap), therheological parameters (K and n) were obtained by adjusting the Power Law, which was shown to be quite appropriate in predicting the juice’s rheological behavior, with determination coefficients r² > 0.99 for five out of the six temperatures investigated. The product showed pseudoplastic (n < 1) behavior and the flow behavior index decreased as temperature increased. The effect of temperature on apparent viscosity was described through an Arrhenius equation and discussed in terms of energy of activation (Ea) and the values of Ea ranged from 2.84 to 3.0 kcal/gmol for the strain rate used.
