Flow Characteristics of Soybean Constituents Controlled by Ratio of Total to Imbibed Water

摘要

ABSTRACTThe objective was to quantify the relationship between water imbibing capacity of soybean components and their rheological characteristics in suspension. These components were: full fat soy flour, desludged full fat soy flour, defatted soy flour, soybean cell wall material and soybean sodium proteinate. It was found that the relationship between the ratio of the total to imbibed water (T/I) and consistency coefficient for all components at all concentrations could be expressed by a single curve. Flow behavior index vs T/I for all components also showed a single curve. A plot of apparent viscosity against T/I at the maximum shear rate showed that the data for all components at all concentrations fell on the same curve at a given shear rate.
