background: the study of rheological properties of blood has special interest since it is a circulating fluid exposed to shear rates during its life time. this work aims to investigate the influence of whole body gamma irradiation on the rheological properties of rat’s blood. the applied shear rate was from 12 to 375 s-1. low shear viscosity (up to 100 s-1) depends mainly on the erythrocytes ag...

Nowadays, nanoscale innovations in the forms of pathogen detection, active packaging, antimicrobial packaging and barrier formation are poised to elevate food packaging to new heights. Antimicrobial nanocomposite LDPE films containing ZnO nanoparticles at different concentrations (e.g. 1%, 3%, 5%  and 3%  nano-ZnO pulse 10% polyethylene grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), w/w pure LDPE), were p...

Compositional, physicochemical, and structural properties of maltodextrins and the most important advances that have been made are critically reviewed. Individual topics focuses on the maltodextrin production, carbohydrate composition, and dextrose equivalent determination, factors that alter the polysaccharide properties, the molecular arrangement, the mechanisms and complex physicochemical ch...

Camel milk has become more popular among customers in recent years as a result of its therapeutic effects. In many parts the world, it is considered one primary components human nutrition. The present study aimed to develop novel synbiotic ice cream from camel formulated with black rice powder (BRP) and investigate viability probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5) during storage per...

In the present study; the glutinous Niaw Sanpatong (NSP) and Niaw Koko-6 (NKK), and the non-glutinous Jasmine (JM) and Saohai (SH) were chemically modified. The difference of these rice varieties on the physicochemical characteristics of the modified rice powders and the properties of the derived gels were evaluated. X-ray diffractometer was used for crystalline structure investigation of the r...

Gelatins from the skin of four different species of fresh water fish, namely pangas catfish (Pangasius pangasius), Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus), striped snakehead (Channa Striata), and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) have been successfully extracted by citric acid. The gelatin from pangas catfish was found to possessed the highest rheology properties compared to the others. I...

an oil and gas well cementing in gachsaran formation, where sustained annular pressure has been reported in many wells, presents a big challenge in maroon field. the main challenges are preventing gas migration and achieving zonal isolation using a competent cement sealant system which is able to withstand downhole stresses and high temperatures during production cycles. unlike conventional cem...

this study treats one important aspect of starch-filled rubber compounds which is their rheological behavior. starch-based sbr1712 masterbatches resulting from various formulations were prepared using a mini two roll mill and an internal mixer (plastograph brabender).the content in starch was varied from 0 to 50 phr. the effect of starch content on the rheological behavior was evaluated through...

grain quality currently represents a major problem in high yielding rice production in iran and many other rice producing areas of the world. quality assessment of rice involves the function of sensory tests and physicochemical determinations based on the chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. these research genetic materials we...

mixing conditions of nbr/pvc nanocomposites such as mixing temperature, rotor speed and mixing time are determining parameters in rheological, mechanical and morphological properties of the compound. three levels were chosen for each parameter using design expert software via box-behnken method. the nanocomposite samples were melt-mixed in brabender internal mixer. the effect of various mixing ...
