Fragmentation Statistics of Food Diced and Crushed Using a Food Mixer

The fragment-size distributions of raw carrot diced or crushed using a food mixer are studied experimentally. For the 5-mm-square carrot, normal distribution shows characteristic feature fragmentation statistics. This simple result indicates that most random errors contribute to fluctuation. On other hand, for cumulative fragment size follows power law where exponent \(\alpha \simeq 1.62 > 1\). Furthermore, considering as function length comparison with geomaterials, such fault rocks, \(D 3.64\). Previous studies have shown power-law observed in sequential tends large value. As our experiment is also based on fragmentation, obtained values exponents α and D consistent those previous fragmentation. basis observations, we discuss effect preferential particles blades. We existence lower limit beyond which further difficult, resulting tendency mixer.
