Rheological properties of reconstituted kilishi ingredient mix powder
The rheological properties of standard kilishi ingredient mix powder determined at four temperatures, 30 degrees C, 40 degrees C, 50 degrees C and 60 degrees C and seven concentrations 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, and 70%, and shear rates ranging from 0.2 to 1.7 rev/s showed that the mix exhibited pseudoplastic behaviour at all the conditions considered. Power law index of less than one obtained confirmed pseudoplasticity (r = -0.9994 to 0.9169). Consistency indices at all the temperatures were almost constant and activation energies ranged from 1.11 to 10.40 MJ/mol. The sensitivity of the slurry to temperature changes was highlighted.
