Abstract
Effects of oil concentration (57.50%, 58.75%, 60.00% and 61.25%) and temperature (5, 10 and 15 °C) on O/W model system meat emulsions were analyzed using oscillatory dynamic shear tests, allowing all emulsion systems to be characterized as linear viscoelastic solids exhibiting a pseudoplastic flow. The emulsion systems were characterized as weak gel-like macromolecular dispersions with G′ much greater than G″, exhibiting a plateau region. A modified Cox–Merz rule was applicable using shift factors. Frequency dependence of complex modulus ( G ∗) was studied to measure strength of cross-linking protein network of the emulsion systems by calculating a practically constant order of the relaxation function ( α = 0.10) and a concentration dependent stiffness parameter ( A α ) using Friedrich and Heymann theory. It was concluded that the viscoelastic characteristics and strength of the emulsion systems increased with increasing oil level, but decreased with temperature. Different mathematical models were successfully constructed to predict the rheological parameters.
