Title

Selected rheological properties of commercial ketchups

Abstract

The selected rheological properties of six ketchups of Polish producers were investigated by the usage of rotary rheometer with coaxial cylinders. The obtained results showed that however all investigated products were included to the same category – pseudoplastic liquid with yield stress – they differed in the rheological properties. Moreover, thixotropic behaviour was observed. The changes of apparent viscosity were dependent on the time and temperature.
