Rheology of supersaturated sucrose solutions

چکیده
Sucrose solutions, with concentrations near or superior to saturation, present high potentialities for the candy and pastry industries. Creep measurements under small stresses were done to obtain the rheological properties of highly concentrated sucrose solutions, since such solutions could be in a metastable state and tend to crystallise. The viscosities of these solutions, from 70.0% to 85.2% (w/w), were determined experimentally at different temperatures, from 0 to 90 C. The temperature dependence of viscosity was studied using experimental and published data for, respectively, high and low concentrations (<70% (w/w)). Results showed that the Arrhenius model describes better the temperature dependence of viscosity for concentrations under saturation and in the high concentration regime the WLF model had a better predicting ability. The effect of concentration on viscosity was observed and included in the Arrhenius and WLF models parameters. The proposed models were able to successfully describe the data in the corresponding concentration range. These results can be used in predicting the viscosities of syrups for either process design or new products formulation.

Multiresponse modelling of the caramelisation reaction
Under the conditions used to prepare the traditional sugar syrups and caramels, commercial sucrose is heated with small amounts of water in order to attain supersaturated (at room temperature) solutions. Undesuch conditions, a lag phase in sucrose thermal degradation was experimentally observed. This lag phase was also observed in the formation of reaction products, and can be interpreted has a...

Use of the Brookfield disc spindle and of the Brookfield cone and plate viscometers in the sugar industry is investigated. The theoretical aspects of each viscometer are discussed, including geometry, the ability to measure non-Newtonian fluids and the calculation of the results. Comparisons between the two viscometers, based on the use of viscosity standards, of pure and of impure sucrose solu...

Inherent changes in foods during storage are often caused by water sorption or desorption that often results in product matrix instability. Water sorption behavior differs depending on the matrix through which it moves. Often, concurrent phenomenon such as crystallization modifies water's movement. We describe a novel use of hyperspectral imaging combined with Fourier Transform Near Infrared (F...

Glass-liquid phase separation in highly supersaturated aqueous solutions of telaprevir.
Amorphous solid dispersions are of great current interest because they can improve the delivery of poorly water-soluble compounds. It has been recently noted that the highly supersaturated solutions generated by dissolution of some ASDs can undergo a phase transition to a colloidal, disordered, drug-rich phase when the concentration exceeds the "amorphous solubility" of the drug. The purpose of...
