Using an in-line rotating torque transducer to study the rheological aspects of malaxed olive paste

Effect of O2 control and monitoring on the nutraceutical properties of extra virgin olive oils

“…Considering the olive oil extraction procedures, many studies have been conducted in recent years on oil mill plant and processes for improving EVOO quality (Altieri, 2010;Altieri et al, 2013;Amirante et al, 2006;Catalano et al, 2003;Clodoveo and Hachicha Hbaieb 2013;Leone et al, 2013;Leone et al, 2014b;Tamborrino et al, 2014a). Malaxer is the most studied machine among all, it is responsible for malaxation, which represents a very important and critical step in the EVOO extraction process (Selvaggini et al, 2014).…”

Non-Newtonian Characteristics of Gochujang and Chogochujang at Different Temperatures

“…A number of studies have shown that many food pastes and fruit purees behave either as a Power-Law fluid or as a Herschel-Bulkley fluid (14–16). Fig.…”

“…The data fell on a straight line but did not pass through the origin, which means that the samples were not a Power-Law fluid but behaved as a Herschel-Bulkley fluid at different temperatures. Other food pastes and fruit purees have been fitted with the Herschel-Bulkley model, including fenugreek paste (14), siriguela pulp (15), and malaxed olive paste (16). …”

Rheological behavior of the sludge in a long-running anaerobic digestor: Essential factors to optimize the operation

“…Measuring the viscosity is a time-consuming process, which often gets some discrete data, and is not easy to implement an on-line measurement. Previous investigation [35] about the rheological behavior of olive paste showed that a torque method was a suitable approach to estimate the consistency index (K) and the flow behavior index (n), with which, the relationship between the viscosity and the flow behavior index could be calculated by an empirical Power law model. This characteristic allowed the use of a torque method as an alternative way to evaluate the viscosity.…”
