Plotting G and |G*| against the shear rate and angular velocity respectively in the same figure revealed G < |G*| for tomato puree, G≒|G*| for yoghurt and G > |G*| for mayonnaise and thickening agent solution. The applicability of two-element models in analyzing the viscoelastic behavior of sample fluids was investigated by comparing two character- istic times τM = 1/(ωtanδ) and τK = tanδ/ω, corresponding to Maxwell and Kelvin–Voigt models respectively and evaluated from measurements of tanδ, with τ = µ/G and τapp = µapp /Gapp calculated from rheological properties measured by the NRCC method.

  • Carrageenans Carrageenans
    Carrageenans Carrageenans SOURCE & PROCESSING Carrageenan is a cell-wall hydrocolloid found in certain species of seaweeds belonging to red algae (class: Rhodophyceae). Carrageenans, extracted from seaweeds harvested throughout the world, have established their position within the food, household, and personal- care industries as uniform gelling, thickening, and texturizing agents of high quality. High-productivity sites are the waters off the coasts of Chile, Mexico, Spain, Philippines, and Japan. After harvesting the seaweed, the Carrageenans are extracted and simultaneously upgraded through the use of various cationic alkalis. After extraction and purification, the Carrageenan is either alcohol precipitated or drum dried. Alcohol precipitation is considered the SOURCE best method, since less thermal shock occurs, and the indigenous salts are left behind in the alcohol. All Colony Gums Carrageenans are alcohol precipitated. A cell-wall hydrocolloid extracted from certain species of seaweeds USES belonging to red algae. Dairy Carrageenans are widely used in the dairy industry for their water- binding and -suspending properties. The unique capabilities of Carrageenans to complex with proteins helps prevent wheying off in such products as cottage cheese and yogurt. The gelling properties QUALITIES of Carrageenans are used in cheeses and parfait-style yogurts. Carrageenans are the main component of ice-cream stabilizers.

  • Modifying Food and Liquid 34 How To
    CH. 9|9E: MODIFYING FOOD AND LIQUID 9E: MODIFYING FOOD AND LIQUID 34 Some children have difficulty managing certain food textures in their mouths or safely swallowing certain liquids. When a child has a problem eating and drinking, changing the food textures or liquid consistencies offered is one way to make mealtimes safer and easier. Foods and liquids are either naturally a specific texture and consistency or they can be altered by caregivers to become a more well-suited texture or consistency that fits a child’s needs. Foods and liquids can be altered by using tools such as utensils, blenders, other foods and liquids or artificial thickening agents. HOW TO THICKEN FOOD AND LIQUID ① Thickening foods and liquids naturally using ordinary food or liquid thickening agents ② Thickening foods and liquids using artificial thickening agents NATURAL THICKENING AGENTS Foods and liquids that naturally create thickened consistencies when mixed in with other foods and liquids. NATURAL THICKENERS IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Dry infant cereal (rice, barley, oatmeal, mixed) – o Not flaked ground or pulverized o Not to be used with breast milk o For children younger than 12 months old Gelatin, guar gum, arrowroot starch, potato starch, tapioca starch, cornstarch, psyllium husk, o For children older than 12 months and who are not at flour, carrageenan (Irish moss) risk for allergies Mix liquids (milk, water, juice) with pureed foods o For children older than 12 months and who are not at to create thickened liquid risk for allergies ARTIFICIAL THICKENING AGENTS Artificial substances that can be used to create thickened consistencies when mixed in foods and liquids.

  • Incremental Adjustments to Amount of Thickening Agent in Beverages: Implications for Clinical Practitioners Who Oversee Nutrition Care Involving Thickened Liquids
    foods Article Incremental Adjustments to Amount of Thickening Agent in Beverages: Implications for Clinical Practitioners Who Oversee Nutrition Care Involving Thickened Liquids Jane Mertz Garcia 1,* and Edgar Chambers IV 2 1 Communication Sciences & Disorders, School of Family Studies & Human Services, Kansas State University, 1405 Campus Creek Road, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA 2 Center for Sensory Analysis and Consumer Behavior, 1310 Research Park Dr., Manhattan, KS 66502, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-785-532-1493 Received: 3 January 2019; Accepted: 12 February 2019; Published: 14 February 2019 Abstract: This study examined the changes in viscosity in response to small alterations in the amount of a thickening agent mixed with three commonly thickened beverages. A total of 11 incremental adjustments in the amount of a starch-based thickening agent (5.0 g to 7.0 g) were made. The results showed that the incremental increases resulted in systematic changes to the liquid thickness, reflecting modifications that ranged from a nectar (mildly thick) to a honey-like (moderately thick) level of consistency. The findings emphasize the importance of the proper preparation of thickened beverages, highlighting the need for standards in training practices and the use of simple measurement tools for assuring the prescribed levels of consistency. Keywords: dysphagia; swallowing; thickened beverages; liquids; viscosity; quality of care 1. Introduction The nutritional care of patients with dysphagia who consume thickened beverages requires the careful preparation of drinks to their prescribed level of modification. Basic care staff (e.g., dietary aides, cooks, and certified nursing assistants) are typically tasked with preparing modifications even though they reportedly receive little or no formal instruction about thickened liquids [1,2].

  • GUAR GUM Chemical and Technical Assessment
    GUAR GUM Chemical and Technical Assessment Prepared by Yoko Kawamura, Ph.D., for the 69th JECFA 1. Summary Guar gum is mainly consisting of the high molecular weight (approximately 50,000-8,000,000) polysaccharides composed of galactomannans and is obtained from the endosperm of the seed of the guar plant, Cyamopsis tetragonaloba (L) Taub. (syn. Cyamopsis psoraloides). It is used as thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier, and approved in most areas of the world (e.g. EU, USA, Japan, and Australia). Guar gum were evaluated and ADI “not specified” was allocated at 19th JECFA (1975) and their specifications were prepared at 17th JECFA (1973) and published in FNP 4 (1978) and republished in FNP 52 “Compendium of food additive specification”. They were reviewed at 44th and 53rd JECFA, and their revised specifications were published in FNP 52 Add 3 and 7, and republished in FAO JECFA Monographs “Combined compendium of food additive specifications”. At 67th JECFA the Committee reviewed the specifications of “Guar gum” and noted that they were covered two grades of product. The Committee decided to prepare two specifications monographs, “Guar gum” and “Guar gum (clarified)”. Both monographs were designated tentative and published in FAO JECFA Monographs 3 (2006). Further information, data on gum content, solubility in water and a test method for methanol and isopropanol as residual solvents using capillary gas chromatography were requested before the end of 2007. 2. Description Guar gum, also known as Gum cyamopsis or guar flour, is derived from the ground endosperm of the seed of the guar plant, Cyamopsis tetragonaloba (L) Taub.

  • ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier
    Technical Data Sheet ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier Description ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier is a remarkably versatile hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) thickening agent for latex coatings. Like other HASE modifiers, ACRYSOL RM-7 offers a nearly Newtonian rheology profile with lower viscosity in low-shear conditions and higher viscosity in high-shear conditions than cellulosic thickeners deliver (Figure 1). As a result, it can produce paints with a very desirable combination of good flow/leveling and film build properties. ACRYSOL RM-7 Rheology Modifier is distinguished by a capacity to generate high-shear viscosity very efficiently, a feature that makes it exceptionally well suited to use with all- acrylic emulsions—RHOPLEX™ SG-30 Emulsion in particular—being developed for low- VOC, nonflat waterborne paints. Exceptional ICI RHOPLEX™ SG-30 Emulsion and products like it have a surface treatment that gives them Efficiency a greater demand for associative thickeners than many conventional all-acrylic binders. As a result, more traditional HASE products do not provide high shear (ICI) viscosity at economical use levels in paints based on these new emulsions. ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier addresses this problem through a unique design that helps make it much more efficient than previous HASE agents. This efficiency offers the opportunity for notable cost savings with the new low-VOC binders. Moreover, because ACRYSOL RM-7 permits lower thickener levels, paints form films with much improved resistance properties (Figure 2). – May be shared with anyone ®TM Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (―Dow‖) or an affiliated company of Dow 884-00202-0113-NAR-EN-CDP Page 1 of 10 ACRYSOL™ RM-7 Rheology Modifier / Dow Coating Materials 03/2013, Rev.
