Table 1 shows that the effect of mixing speed was greater than
mixing time. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed for
maximum force cohesiveness and gumminess of the gels prepared
at same mixing times but different mixing speeds of 15 and
350 rpm. For example, maximum force, cohesiveness and gumminess
of the gels prepared at 15 rpm and 30 min were 154.88 (g),
0.942, 146.05 (g) and for the gels prepared at 350 rpm and 30 min
were 91.55 (g), 0.911 and 83.38 (g), respectively. It is obvious from
the results that the effect of mixing speed was more pronounced
than mixing time within the studied levels.
