Ka. Abdelrahim et al., EFFECTS OF CONCENTRATION AND TEMPERATURE ON CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE RHEOLOGY, International journal of food science & technology, 29(3), 1994, pp. 243-253
The theological properties of 0.5 to 2.0% carboxymethycellulose (CMC)
solutions were measured at 30-90 degrees C with a computer controlled
rotational viscometer in a linearly increasing and decreasing three-cy
cle shearing sequence. CMC solutions showed power-law flow behaviour a
nd theological properties were significantly (P < 0.01) influenced by
both temperature and concentration. An empirical model was developed t
o relate the power-law parameters to both concentration and temperatur
