Rheology Analysis Of Enzyme Clarified Beetroot Juice

Superior Essays
The rheology characteristics of enzyme clarified beetroot juice with added additives such as maltodextrin (MD), inulin (INU) and their combination (MD+INU) was studied at a wide range of concentrations (0 to 20% dry solids) and temperatures (5 to 80°C) by controlled stress rheometer. The rheological parameter shear stress was measured upto the shear rate of 600s-1. The temperature dependency of Newtonian viscosity of beetroot juice was described by Arrhenius equation. The effect of added solid content on viscosity of enzyme clarified beetroot juice was studied followed by exponential type equation at the temperature. A combined single relation Newtonian viscosity to temperature and added solid content of different carrier material in enzyme …show more content…
Figure 1C shows the shear stress at applied shear rate of enzyme clarified beetroot juice at 12% added solid content at 20°C of maltodextrin (MD), inulin (INU) and their combination (MD+INU). The rheogram showed maximum increase in inulin (INU) based beetroot juice followed by maltodextrin (MD) and their combination based beetroot juice. This indicated that shear stress of inulin (INU) based juice is high compared to that of maltodextrin (MD) and their combination (MD+INU) based juice at particular constant shear rate. From the figure 1A, 1B and 1C it was shown that shear stress increases linearly with shear rate. This indicated Newtonian flow behaviour. …show more content…
The viscosity of reconstituted spray dried beetroot juice behaved like Newtonian fluid and viscosity markedly affected by temperature, concentration and type of carrier material (Manjunatha and Raju, 2015). The Newtonian viscosity values was evaluated using Newtonian model with appreciable co-efficient of determination (0.8934≥R2≥0.8999, P<0.05) decrease was observed with increase in temperature. This indicates that the magnitude of viscosity of enzyme clarified beetroot juice containing added additives depends on nature of solute, solid content and temperature studied. The viscosity of inulin based juice was maximum followed by maltodextrin and combination. This may be due to molecular nature of inulin and its interaction with water and other solute molecules. However the combination juice showed low viscosity values compared to maltodextrin and inulin based juice this may be to due to water-polymer-polymer interactions. The viscosity of liquid foods strongly depends on inter-molecular forces between molecules and water-solute (sugars and acids) interactions, which result from the

    Moreover, the treatments were slightly different for each sugar and yeast strain. These number as well as Figures 1 and 2 indicate that there was slightly more growth in glycerol for both strains of yeast compared to sucrose. However, while the growth of glycerol may have been slightly larger, the T-test calculations proves that this study is not significant because the p-value was greater than…

    Two temperatures of turnip extract were tested: 0°C and 100°C. Three trials were run at each temperature to obtain an average and lessen the effect of error in individual trials. For the 0°C trials, turnip extract with an unknown concentration of turnip peroxidase was obtained and kept on ice for the duration. A control mixture was prepared in a test tube which contained 1.0 mL turnip extract, 8.9 mL buffer pH 6.8, and 0.1 mL guaiacol .…

    Twenty equally sized chickpeas were weighed out and placed into a 250 mL beaker. Once the chickpeas were weighed out, 100 mL of 0 M, 1 M, and 3 M concentrated NaCl solutions were made. To ensure adequate hydrolysis, the chickpeas were covered with at least two to three centimeters of concentrated NaCl solution. A total of two trials of each concentrated NaCl solution were conducted over a total time period of 160 minutes. Besides the initial temperature of the solution, data was collected at 5 minutes and time intervals of ten minutes until 60 minutes have been reached, increasing the intervals to every twenty minutes until 160 minutes approaches.…

    In this lab we carefully cut parts of the beet (Beta) into little five millimetre discs making sure not to use the outside edge. The discs were then rinsed for ten minutes to remove pigment from the damaged cells. Each disc was placed in a 5, 25, 40, 55 and 85 degree Celsius water bath. This was timed for precisely one minute, then each disc was removed and placed into ten milliliters of previously measured distilled water at room temperature in a labelled test tube. They sat in the water for a duration of 30 minutes and were vortexed every 10 minutes.…

    Red Beet History

    • 2 Pages

    Red beet (Beta vulagaris L.) is a crop of the Chenopodiaceae family [1]. The crop is primarily cultivated for its edible roots and valued extremely for its color [1, 2]. Over the past 20 years, the production of red beets in the United States is estimated around 200,000 tonnes/ year [3, 4], of which almost 95% of the cultivated red beets are canned and only 5% are consumed as a vegetable [3]. Interestingly, this root vegetable is a crop of commercial importance [5], that is also exploited for the production of natural colorants in food, decorative art, cosmetics and medicinal products, and one product, E-162 (betanin), is commercially used as a colorant in beverages, candies, and dairy products [5, 6]. The bulk value of industry from red beets…

    Introduction In this experiment, isopentyl acetate was prepared by the direct esterification of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol, which is an equilibrium that results in a shift in favor of the product by using one of the starting materials in excess. An esterification reaction is when an acid is converted into an ester by combining with an alcohol and removing a water molecule. Esters are found in numerous natural products, including fruits, flowers, and spices. Carboxyllic esters contribute to the flavor of products; therefore, esters are often found in artificial flavorings.…

    Analysis of the fruit powders demonstrated that the antioxidant capacity (Figure 1A) of cocoa powder (634 ± 33 μMTE/g) was significantly greater than blueberry, cranberry, and pomegranate powder on a per gram basis. The total polyphenol content (Figure 1B) of cocoa powder (48.2 ± 2.1 mg/g) appeared to be greater than acai, blueberry, and cranberry powder; however these differences did not reach statistical significance. The total flavanol content (Figure 1C) of cocoa powder (30.1 ± 2.8 mg/g) was significantly greater than all of the other fruit powders tested. There were no other statistically significant differences in antioxidant capacity, total polyphenol, or total flavanol content between any of the other fruit powders tested. Analysis of fruit products demonstrated that the antioxidant…

    However, when the substrate concentration was increased, the intensity of color stopped increasing due to the enzymes being unable to to process at a faster rate. All of the alternate hypothesizes were supported; in the experiments, section one (with Figure 1) had an optimal temperature at approximately 24°C; section two (with Figure 2) had an optimal pH at approximately pH8; in section 3 (with Figure 3) the color continued to increase with the addition of more enzymes; and in section 4 (with Figure 4) the color continued to increase until it reached a maximum velocity with the addition of more substrates. One desired retrial for the experiment would be to test for more points after 20 drops of potato juice in Figure 3. Understanding the effects of how these properties alter the ability of the catecholase enzyme could allow for better insight into decreasing time needed for biochemical reactions, proper food storage, and the condition of…
