Temperature has significant effect on rheological characteristics
of concentrated food products. Effect of temperature
on consistency coefficients obtained from the HerschelBulkley
model and apparent viscosity at constant shear rate
(10 s1
) of TJC are illustrated in Fig. 2. It indicates that an
increase in temperature reduced the shear stress/apparent
viscosity at a constant shear rate. However, an increase in
magnitude of K at 70 1C indicated gel characteristics (sol–gel)
of TJC.
