The purpose of this paper is to extend the rheological predictions of the Doi-Hess kinetic theory for sheared nematic polymers from the anomalous weak shear regime (Forest et al., 2003) to arbitrary shear rates, and to associate salient rheological and optical properties with the solution space of kinetic theory. Using numerical bifurcation software (AUTO), we provide the phase diagram of all s...

Hrušková M., Švec I. (2017): Rheological characteristics of composite flour with linseed fibre – relation to bread quality. Czech J. Food Sci., 35: 424–431. Linseed fibre represents a rich natural source of dietary fibre. Here, we report that the addition of linseed fibre at levels of 2.5 and 5.0% changes the viscosity of wheat flour as well as the rheological properties of non-fermented and fe...

Potential of front-face fluorescence spectroscopy was evaluated to classify muscles according to their chemical and rheological characteristics. Seven bovine muscles (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus, Tensor fasciae latae, Rectus abdominis, Longissimus thoracis et lumborum, Triceps branchii and Infraspinatus) were taken from 14 animals of the Charolais breed. Chemical characteristics and rheolog...
