  2. Food rheology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_rheology

    Food rheology is the study of the rheological properties of food, that is, the consistency and flow of food under tightly specified conditions. [1] The consistency, degree of fluidity , and other mechanical properties are important in understanding how long food can be stored, how stable it will remain, and in determining food texture.

  3. Physical properties of soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_properties_of_soil

    Soil texture determines total volume of the smallest pores; [56] clay soils have smaller pores, but more total pore space than sands, [57] despite a much lower permeability. [58] Soil structure has a strong influence on the larger pores that affect soil aeration , water infiltration and drainage . [ 59 ]

  4. Soil texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_texture

    Soil texture is a classification instrument used both in the field and laboratory to determine soil classes based on their physical texture. Soil texture can be determined using qualitative methods such as texture by feel, and quantitative methods such as the hydrometer method based on Stokes' law .

  5. Doneness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doneness

    As meat cooks, the iron atom loses an electron, moving to a +3 oxidation state and coordinating with a water molecule (H 2 O ), which causes the meat to turn brown. Searing raises the meat's surface temperature to 150 °C (302 °F), yielding browning via the caramelization of sugars and the Maillard reaction of amino acids.

  6. Crystallographic texture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_texture

    Consequently, the rolling process is often followed by a heat treatment to reduce the amount of unwanted texture. Controlling the production process in combination with the characterization of texture and the material's microstructure help to determine the materials properties, i.e. the processing-microstructure-texture-property relationship.

  7. Iron-oxidizing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-oxidizing_bacteria

    The anoxygenic phototrophic iron oxidation was the first anaerobic metabolism to be described within the iron anaerobic oxidation metabolism. The photoferrotrophic bacteria use Fe 2+ as electron donor and the energy from light to assimilate CO 2 into biomass through the Calvin Benson-Bassam cycle (or rTCA cycle) in a neutrophilic environment (pH 5.5-7.2), producing Fe 3+ oxides as a waste ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alina_Surmacka_Szczesniak

    She worked at General Foods from 1952 until her 1986 retirement, where she retired as a principal scientist. Szcześniak developed the now-standard Sensory Texture Profile Analysis, [ 3 ] which analyzes, quantifies and places in correct sequence all textural properties perceived from the moment a piece of food is placed in the mouth until the ...

  9. Thermal analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_analysis

    Polymers represent another large area in which thermal analysis finds strong applications. Thermoplastic polymers are commonly found in everyday packaging and household items, but for the analysis of the raw materials, effects of the many additive used (including stabilisers and colours) and fine-tuning of the moulding or extrusion processing used can be achieved by using differential scanning ...
