Abstract
In order to obtain high yield pomelo peel pectin with better physicochemical properties, four pectin extraction methods, including hot acid extraction (HAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction, and enzymatic assisted extraction (EAE) were compared. MAE led to the highest pectin yield (20.43%), and the lowest pectin recovery was found for EAE (11.94%). The physicochemical properties of pomelo peel pectin obtained by different methods were also significantly different. Pectin samples obtained by MAE had the highest methoxyl content (8.35%), galacturonic acid content (71.36%), and showed a higher apparent viscosity, thermal and emulsion stability. The pectin extracted by EAE showed the highest total phenolic content (12.86%) and lowest particle size (843.69 nm), showing higher DPPH and ABTS scavenging activities than other extract methods. The pectin extracted by HAE had the highest particle size (966.12 nm) and degree of esterification (55.67%). However, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed that no significant difference occurred among the different methods in the chemical structure of the extracted pectin. This study provides a theoretical basis for the industrial production of pomelo peel pectin.

Abstract
This research aimed to analyze the impacts of sonication on the rheological properties and color indexes of aqueous solutions of Basil seed gum (BSG), Lallemantia seed gum (LSG), and Wild sage seed gum (WSG). The apparent viscosity (AV) of aqueous solutions of gums decreased with increasing shear rate (SR) from 12.2 s-1 to 134.5 s-1. Also, the AV (at SR = 61 s-1) of BSG, LSG, and WSG solutions reduced from 0.015 to 0.006 Pa.s, 0.023 to 0.010 Pa.s, and 0.009 to 0.004 Pa.s with enhancing the sonication time from 0 to 20 min, respectively. Various rheological equations were employed to fit the empirical values, and the findings confirmed that the Power law (PL) model was the best fit to explain the flow behaviour of these gums solutions. The consistency coefficient (k-index) of BSG, LSG, and WSG solutions significantly (p < 0.05) reduced from 0.108 to 0.017 Pa.sn, 0.143 to 0.033 Pa.sn, and 0.034 to 0.014 Pa.sn with increasing sonication time from 0 to 20 min, respectively. The flow behaviour index (n-index) of the gums solutions increased with increasing sonication time. By applying ultrasound, the lightness (L⁎) and blueness/yellowness (b⁎) indexes of the solutions were increased, and the greenness/redness (a⁎) index was reduced.

Abstract
Today sonication process is used as a new green tool with unique impacts on foods preservation and processing. Ultrasonic modification is an appropriate strategy to obtain good gums with useful physicochemical characteristics and molecular structure. This research aimed to analyze the impacts of sonication at different intensities (0, 75, and 150 W) and time (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 min) on the viscosity and rheological characteristics of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution. The results confirmed that the apparent viscosity of CMC solution reduced from 0.030 to 0.021 Pa.s with increasing shear-rate from 12.2 s-1 to 134.5 s-1 (75 W for 10 min). Also, the apparent viscosity of CMC solution reduced from 0.028 to 0.019 Pa.s with enhancing the sonication time from 0 to 20 min (shear-rate = 61 s-1, 150 W). Various rheological equations were employed to fit the empirical values, and the results confirmed that the Power law model was the best fit to explain the flow behaviour of CMC solution. The consistency coefficient of CMC solution significantly reduced from 0.065 Pa.sn to 0.032 Pa.sn (p < 0.05) with enhancing sonication time from 0 to 20 min (75 W). Furthermore, the consistency coefficient of CMC solution decreased significantly (p < 0.05) while the ultrasonic power enhanced. Flow behaviour index of CMC solution enhanced significantly (p < 0.05) while the intensity and time of sonication enhanced.

Abstract
Performance evaluation of drilling fluids is essential for a successful drilling project, as they not only remove drill cuttings but also prevent undesired penetration or outflow of formation fluids by sealing off wellbore walls. However, concerns have been raised about the use of chemical additives in drilling fluids due to their toxicity and non-biodegradability. To this end, agricultural waste materials are recognized as a promising alternative as they are cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and can be used as a substitute for lost circulation materials. Rice husk ash (RHA) has become popular as an additive due to its renewable characteristics, including its large surface area, silica content, and microporous structure. This research article explores the rheological properties of drilling fluid with RHA as a filter control medium. The results showed that increasing concentrations of RHA in the drilling mud significantly improved its rheology, particularly at higher concentrations (15 and 20 wt.%). The addition of RHA modified the filtration and rheological properties of the drilling mud, resulting in improved plastic viscosity, yield point, density, gel strength, and thixotropy. However, filter loss and mud cake thickness increased at elevated RHA concentrations. Furthermore, the pH test revealed that the mud's properties shifted toward the acidic region as the RHA concentration increased. The results indicate that RHA could be used as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional chemical additives with a positive environmental impact. This study may also provide valuable insights into the use of RHA in water-based bentonite mud and could serve as a guide for future research in the drilling industry.

Abstract
In this work, the differences in macrostructure and microstructure, rheology, and storage stability of pre-emulsified safflower oil (PSO) prepared by natural and magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin were analysised. It was concluded that the PSO with magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin (MPSO) has better emulsifying activity and physical stability. The changes in gel quality, oxidational sensitivity, rheological, and sensory properties of pork batters with different substitute ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of pork back-fat by MPSO with magnetic field modified soy 11S globulin were studied. Compared to the sample without MPSO, pork batter with MPSO showed higher emulsion stability, apparent viscosity, L⁎ value, springiness, cohesiveness, and expressible moisture, while lower a⁎ value and cooking loss. Moreover, added MPSO could be more uniformly distributed into the meat matrix with smaller holes. With the increase in the replacement proportion of pork back-fat, the hardness, water- and fat-holding capacity, and P21 of pork batter significantly decreased (P < 0.05). As revealed by sensory evaluation and TBARS, using MPSO to substitute for pork back-fat decreased the lipid oxidational sensitivity of pork batter, and without negative effects on the appearance, juiciness and overall acceptability. Overall, it is feasible to apply MPSO as a pork-fat replacer to produce reduced-animal fat pork batter with excellent gel and sensory properties.

Abstract
Chloroplasts are abundant organelles in a diverse range of plant materials; they are predominantly composed of multicomponent thylakoid membranes which are lipid and protein rich. Intact or unravelled thylakoid membranes should, in principle, have interfacial activity, but little has been published on their activity in oil-in-water systems, and nothing on their performance on an oil continuous system. In this work different physical methods were used to produce a range of chloroplast/thylakoid suspensions with varying degrees of membrane integrity. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that pressure homogenisation led to the greatest extent of membrane and organelle disruption compared to less energy intensive preparation methods The ability of the derived materials to modulate the flow behaviour of a chocolate model system (65% (w/w) sugar/ sunflower oil (natural amphiphiles removed) suspension) was investigated by acquiring rheological parameters. All chloroplast/thylakoid preparations reduced yield stress, apparent viscosity, tangent flow point and cross over point in a concentration-dependent fashion, although not as significantly as polyglycerol polyricinoleate applied at a commercially relevant concentration in the same chocolate model system. Confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed presence of the alternative flow enhancer material at the sugar surfaces. This research reveals that low-energy processing methods that do not extensively disrupt thylakoid membranes are applicable to generating materials with marked capacity to affect the flow behaviour of a chocolate model system. In conclusion, chloroplast/thylakoid materials hold strong potential as natural alternatives to synthetic rheology modifiers for lipid-based systems such as PGPR.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the pH levels (5.8, 6.0, 6.2, and 6.4) on analogue pizza cheese (APC) rheological and physical characteristics. The APC formulation included 25% vegetable oil and 18.5% rennet casein. The APC samples were made using a Thermomix device and the cheese was stored at + 5 °C for 5 days before it was transferred to - 18 °C. Rotational rheometer measurements showed that all samples followed Herchel-Buckley viscoplastic Model with a different yield stress, highest apparent viscosity, and shear stress values were obtained at pH 6.4 followed by pH 6.2; then the values were dropped by 70%. Melting and stretching showed the best characteristics for the APC sample at pH 6.4, whereas at pH 6.0 stretching values decreased by 77%. The APC samples at pH ≥ 6.2 showed better stability after 6 months of frozen storage in the apparent viscosity than other cheeses. This study concluded that better rheological and physical properties were obtained for the APC at pH ≥ 6.20 and that significant variation for the rheological behavior of the APC can be based on the pH alone, as a slight alteration in the pH was found to affect product quality and acceptability.

Abstract
Micro-nano bubbles (MNBs) play important roles in the reduction of membrane fouling during membrane separation; however, such improvements are always attributed to the reduced concentration polarization on the surface of membranes and little attention has been paid on the variations of physicochemical properties of the feed caused by MNBs. In this study, the separation efficiencies of the feed containing humic acid (HA), bovine serum albumin (BSA), sodium alginate (SA) or dyes can be improved by MNBs during ultrafiltration, and the normalized fluxes can be maximally increased to 139% and 127% in the dead-end and cross-flow modes, respectively in the treatment of HA solution. We further reveal that the decreased apparent viscosity of the feed in the presence of MNBs is the key factor that enhances the normalized flux during ultrafiltration. This study gives new insight on the importance of MNBs in membrane separation and provides valuable clues for other chemical processes.

Abstract
The pre-treatment of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become more common since it often results in improved bioconversion to methane, in both rate and extent. However, thorough insights on the possible effects and mechanisms of mild pre-treatment techniques, such as temperatures <100 °C combined with the addition of H2O2, are still limited. This study reports the effects of the addition of 5-30 mgH2O2/g TS and its interaction with thermal pre-treatment at 70 °C on methane production, using WAS as the substrate. It was found that the addition of H2O2 increased the methane production rate, coinciding with a decrease in apparent viscosity of WAS, which probably improved mass transfer under non-ideal mixing conditions. While H2O2 solubilized proteins and carbohydrates and mineralized a small fraction of the humic substances in WAS, these biochemical transformations did not suffice to explain the observed extent and rate of methane production. A decreased particle size, the presence of Fenton's reagent, and the presence of cationic polymers in the WAS were discarded as the reasons for the observed decrease in apparent viscosity. It was concluded that the pre-treatment conditions applied in the present study might be a strategy to enhance mixing conditions in full-scale anaerobic digesters.

Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of different acetylated cassava starch (ACS) concentrations on the physical and rheological properties of multicomponent emulsion-based products at specific pH values. The emulsion-based products were made by mixing 2% (w/v) prepared lipid droplets that were stabilized by either native or heated whey proteins, 0.01% (w/v) flaxseed gum and 0-6.0% (w/v) ACS. The results indicated that particle size, apparent viscosity and rheological moduli of multicomponent emulsion-based products were significantly enhanced with increasing addition amounts of ACS (P < 0.05). Moreover, the microscopic morphology showed that the addition of ACS contributed to the formation of a more compact, uniform, and continuous comb-like network. However, higher ACS concentration was prone to induce visibly larger aggregations and coarser textures, lending to some negative impact on visual appearance and overall acceptability. Moreover, acidic conditions could obviously promote droplet aggregation via electrostatic interactions, whereas neutral conditions had no effect on droplet aggregation. Additionally, when compared with native whey proteins, lipid droplets stabilized by their heated protein forms induced significantly higher apparent viscosities and rheological moduli of multicomponent emulsion-based products (P < 0.05). Our results potentially provide some information for the creation of multicomponent emulsion-based products with various desirable quality attributes.

Abstract
Recent findings have demonstrated that activated sludge morphology significantly impacts oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) in the activated sludge process. In this study, we developed a mechanistic understanding of this impact. Mixed liquor samples collected from a domestic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) were blended with a bulking activated sludge from a bench scale reactor (BSR) cultured on synthetic wastewater to manipulate various morphological parameters such as the settled sludge volume (SV), the sludge volume index (SVI), and the specific filament length (SFL). The filaments that were present in the blended sludges consisted largely of Type 0041 and Type 021N, which are commonly found in WWTPs that treat domestic wastewater. Variations in sludge morphology, as quantified by settled sludge volume after 30 min (SV30), SVI, and SFL, systematically affected the mixed liquor apparent viscosity (μapp), which consequently impacted OTE. An increase in the SFL from 9.61 × 106 μm g-1 to 6.88 × 107 μm g-1 resulted in a 41.4% increase in apparent viscosity and a 24.6% decrease in volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa). A new parameter, named the ultimate settleability (SVULT), was developed by curve fitting the SV versus time data and found to relate with μapp through an expanded form of the Einstein Equation for the viscosity. Therefore, SVULT is a corollary for the particle volume fraction that incorporates effects of both the sludge morphology and mass concentration on μapp. Theoretical derivation revealed that an increase in SVULT resulted in an increase in μapp, which reduced oxygen transfer by increasing the air bubble size and reducing refreshment of the liquid at the gas-liquid interface. The KLa was found to be inversely proportional to μapp0.75 through fitting the experimental data with the theoretical model. Using a variance-based global sensitivity analysis, three operating parameters that have the most impact on oxygen transfer were identified: the power input per unit volume, the superficial gas flowrate, and the μapp.

Abstract
The morphology of the microbial communities can have dramatic impacts on not only the treatment performance, but also the energy use performance of an activated sludge process. In this research, we developed and calibrated an image analysis technique to determine key morphological parameters such as the floc diameter and the specific filament length (SFL) and discovered that the SFL has significant impacts on sludge floc size, the specific extracellular polymeric substances production, the settleability, mixed liquor viscosity, and oxygen transfer efficiency. When the SFL increased from 2.5 × 109 μm g-1 to 6.0 × 1010 μm g-1, the apparent viscosity normalized by the mixed liquor suspended solids concentration increased by 67%, and the oxygen transfer efficiency decreased by 29%. A long solids retention time (SRT) of 40 day reduced SFL, improved sludge settling performance, and improved oxygen transfer efficiency as compared to shorter SRTs of 10 and 20 day. The findings underscore the need to assess microbial morphology when quantifying the treatment performance and energy performance of activated sludge processes.

Abstract
Polymer flooding is one of the most promising techniques used to increase the productivity of mature oil reservoirs. Polymers reduce the mobility ratio of the injected water relative to the crude oil, improving the displacement of the entrapped oil and consequently, increasing oil recovery. Biopolymers such as xanthan gum have emerged as environmentally friendly alternatives to the chemical polymers commonly employed by the oil industry. However, in order to seek more efficient biomolecules, alternative biopolymers must be studied. Here, the applicability of a biopolymer produced by Rhizobium viscosum CECT 908 in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) was evaluated. This biopolymer exhibited better rheological properties (including higher viscosity) when compared with xanthan gum. Its stability at high shear rates (up to 300 s-1), temperatures (up to 80 °C) and salinities (up to 200 g/L of NaCl) was also demonstrated. The biopolymer exhibited better performance than xanthan gum in oil recovery assays performed with a heavy crude oil, achieving 25.7 ± 0.5% of additional recovery. Thus the R. viscosum CECT 908 biopolymer is a promising candidate for application in MEOR.

Abstract
A complete factorial design (23) was used to determine the influence of chia mucilage concentration (CM), locust bean gum (LBG) and base maturation time (BMT) on 14 formulations of goat milk frozen dessert. Chia mucilage was obtained by chia grain hydration (1:40) under stirring for 2 h, at 80 °C and pH of 9.0. The samples were centrifuged, as well as lyophilised to compare yields. The extraction yield of lyophilised CM was lower than 10%. The addition of LBG and CM at higher levels, influenced by BMT, increased the moisture content and the apparent viscosity of the base mixture. These formulations presented higher values for texture and lower of overrun due to the difficulty of incorporating and stabilising bubbles during whipping and freezing processes. The melting rate was also dependent on the variables analysed, and a delay in melting was observed, even in the formulations with lower fat content. CM increased the luminosity parameter proportionally to its content and provided a significant reduction of fat (up to 3.10 g 100 g-1) and energy value. The application of CM reduced the texture value, which was an interesting technological characteristic for frozen dessert.

Abstract
Hydrothermal processing plays a significant role in sewage sludge treatment. However, the rheological behaviour of sludge during these processes is not fully understood. A better understanding of the sludge rheology under hydrothermal processing conditions can help improve process efficiency. Moreover, sludge rheology is easier to measure than chemical analyses. If a relationship could be established, it provides a possibility of using rheological measurement as a basis for monitoring the performance of hydrothermal processing. The rheological changes in thickened waste activated sludge (7 wt%) was investigated using a pressure cell-equipped rheometer during 60-min thermal hydrolysis (TH) at various temperatures (80-145 °C) and constant pressure (5 bar). Changes in the soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured using a separate reactor with a similar operating condition. The sludge behaved as a shear-thinning fluid and could be described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. At constant temperature, the yield stress and high-shear (600 s-1) viscosity of sludge decreased logarithmically over 60 min. At constant time, the yield stress and the high-shear viscosity decreased linearly with increasing TH temperature and these values was much less than corresponding properties after treatment and cooling down to 25 °C. The soluble COD of sludge also increased logarithmically over 60 min at constant temperature, and increased linearly with increasing temperature at constant time. Furthermore, the yield stress and high-shear viscosity reduction showed a linear correlation with the increase in soluble COD.

Abstract
Municipal sewage sludge (hereafter referred to as sludge) in increasing amounts is a serious threat to the environment and human health. Sludge is difficult to dispose because of its complex properties, such as high water content, viscosity, and hazardous compound concentration. The rheological properties of sludge also significantly influence treatment processes, including stirring, mixing, pumping, and conveying. Improving the rheological properties and reducing the apparent viscosity of sludge are conducive to economic and safe sludge treatment. In this study, the low-temperature thermo-alkaline (LTTA) method was used to modify sludge. Compared with the original sludge with an apparent viscosity at 100 s(-1) (η100) of 979.3 mPa s, the sludge modified under 90 °C-Ca(OH)2-1 h and 90 °C-NaOH-1 h conditions exhibited lower η100 values of 208.7 and 110.8 mPa s respectively. The original sludge exhibited a pseudoplastic behavior. After modification, the pseudoplastic behavior was weakened, and the sludge gradually tended to behave as Newton fluids. The hysteresis loop observed during the shear rate cycle was mainly caused by the viscoelasticity of the sludge. The hysteresis loop area (Hla) reflected to a certain extent the energy required to break the elastic solid structure of the sludge. The larger the Hla, the more energy was needed. However, this result should be evaluated comprehensively by considering other sludge parameters, such as yield stress and apparent viscosity. Hla may also reflect the damage degree of the sludge structure after shearing action. The irreversible destruction of the structure during shearing may also increase Hla.

Abstract
The legal banning of conventional sludge disposal methods such as landfill has led to a global movement towards achieving a sustainable sludge management strategy. Reusing sludge for energy production (biogas production) through the anaerobic digestion of sludge can provide a sustainable solution. However, for the optimum performance of digesters with minimal use of energy input, operating conditions must be regulated in accordance with the rheological characteristics of the sludge. If it is assumed that only secondary sludge enters the anaerobic digesters, an impact of variations to the solids concentration and volume fraction of each sludge type must be investigated to understand how the apparent viscosity and yield stress of the secondary and digested sludge mixture inside the digesters changes. In this study, five different total solids concentration of secondary and digested sludge were mixed at different digested sludge volume fractions ranging from 0 to 1. It was found that if secondary sludge was mixed with digested sludge at the same total solids concentration, the apparent viscosity and the yield stress of the mixture increased exponentially by increasing the volume fraction of digested sludge. However, if secondary sludge was added to digested sludge with a different solids concentration, the apparent viscosity and yield stress of the resulting mixed sludge was controlled by the concentrated sludge regardless of its type. Semi - empirical correlations were proposed to predict the apparent viscosity and yield stress of the mixed digested and secondary sludge. A master curve was also developed to predict the flow behaviour of sludge mixtures regardless of the total solid concentration and volume fraction of each sludge type within the studied solids concentration range of 1.4 and 7%TS. This model can be used for digesters optimization and design by predicting the rheology of sludge mixture inside digester.

Abstract
The effect of oil concentration (57.50, 58.75, 60.00 and 61.25 %) and temperature (5, 10 and 15 ºC) on steady shear rheological properties of O/W model system meat emulsions were investigated. The effect of temperature and oil concentration was modeled using power law and exponential type functions. The meat emulsions showed non-Newtonian flow behavior because flow behavior index was lower than unity. Consistency coefficient and flow behavior index values of O/W model system meat emulsions were calculated using Oswald de Waele model with higher coefficients of determination. Apparent viscosities of emulsions at a specified shear rate (50 s(-1)) were in the range of 0.652-0.941 Pa s. Increasing oil concentration provided an increase in apparent viscosity and increase in temperature levels resulted a decrease in consistency coefficient values. The exponential function performed better than the power-law function (R (2) > 0.922) in terms of describing the effect of oil concentration on the steady shear rheological properties of the model system meat emulsions. Higher coefficients of determination (R (2) = 0.979-0.999) were observed in exponential-type function compared to a power law function (R (2) = 0.880-0.946).

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion is a significant process leading to biogas production and waste management. Despite this double interest, professionals still face a lack of efficient tools to monitor and manage the whole procedure. This is especially true for rheological properties of the material inside the reactor, which are of major importance for anaerobic digestion management. However, rheological properties can hardly be determined in-situ and it would be very helpful to determine indicators of their evolution. To solve this problem, this paper investigates the evolution of sewage sludge rheological and electrical properties during the anaerobic digestion in a batch reactor. We especially focus on apparent viscosity and complex impedance, measured by electrical impedance spectroscopy. Both of them can be modelled by a linear combination of raw sludge and inoculum properties, weighted by time-dependent coefficients. Thus, by determining digested sludge electrical signature, it is possible to obtain those coefficients and model sludge apparent viscosity. This work offers many theoretical and practical prospects.

Abstract
Assuming that blood has a constant viscosity is a common practice when designing rotary blood pumps (RBPs), where shear stresses are generally higher than in the human body. This eases the design and allows numerical simulations and bench top experiments to be performed with Newtonian fluids. However, specific flow conditions may cause a change in cell distribution leading to an apparent lower blood viscosity. It has been observed that decreasing the vessel diameters and increasing flow velocities contribute to this effect. Because a hydrodynamic bearing operates under flow conditions following this pattern, it is important to verify whether this effect also takes place when this type of bearing is applied to a RBP. Because the operation of a hydrodynamic bearing depends directly on the fluid viscosity, a local change in cell distribution in the bearing gap can be reflected in changes in the bearing performance. In this work, a spiral groove hydrodynamic bearing was tested with porcine blood in a specially built test rig. The generated suspension force, cross flow, and bearing torque were recorded and compared with the reference response when using a solution of water and glycerol. Experiments with porcine blood yielded lower suspension forces, lower flows, and lower bearing torques than when using the glycerol solution. An explanation could be a lower apparent viscosity due to inhomogeneity of blood cell concentrations. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the effective blood viscosity when designing hydrodynamic bearings for RBPs and performing experiments.

Abstract
In this work, cassava starch was modified by treatment with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) at different concentrations (0.8, 2.0 and 5.0 % of active chlorine) and selected physicochemical properties of the oxidized starches were investigated. The native and modified samples were evaluated considering moisture, carboxyl content, apparent viscosity, susceptibility to syneresis, mid-infrared spectroscopy and crystallinity index. The treatment with NaClO resulted in alterations in carboxyl content of the oxidized starches that increased with increasing concentration of the oxidant. Oxidized starches also showed higher susceptibility to syneresis, as assessed by the release of liquid during freezing and thawing. Apparent viscosity analysis showed decrease in peak viscosity of the oxidized starches. X-ray diffractograms showed that the oxidation influenced the extent of cassava starch relative crystallinity found to lie between 34.4 % (native) and 39.9 % (2.0 % active chlorine). The infrared spectra are sensitive to structural changes on starch macromolecules and presented characteristic peaks as C-O-C of the six carbon glucose ring absorbs at 1,150-1,085 cm(-1) and due to axial deformation these bands changed with the crystal structure of the starch samples.
