The viscosities of 46 varieties of Chinese natural honeys weve measure
d with a rotational viscometer. It is found that the Newtonian model m
ay be considered as the general rheological model for Chinese natural
honeys. The relationship among water content, temperature and viscosit
y for different honeys may be expressed by eta = 14.2 x 10(3) exp(-0.3
1w-0.085t). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Limited. All rights reserved.
