Abstract

Rheological properties were determined for chick pea meal dispersions (40% solids) with added NaCl (0-3%), groundnut oil (0-10%) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, 0-2%). Time-independent flow behaviour was investigated at shear rates of up to 500 s-1 using concentric cylinder geometry. The Cross equation was used to model the rheological data in order to obtain various parameters, including zero-shear and high-shear limiting viscosities, power index and relaxation time. Apparent viscosities were reduced on addition of NaCl and oil, thus enhancing flow of the dispersions. High-shear limiting viscosity was increased markedly on increasing the CMC content of the dispersions, whereas minimal effects were detected on addition of oil or NaCl.
