2. 1. Extensional rheometry through hyperbolic contraction

   Author : Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dysphagia; Boger fluid; hyperbolic contraction flow; extensional rheology; axisymmetric contraction–expansion; numerical simulation; Viscoelastic fluid; pressure drop;

   Abstract : To understand fluid rheology, properties such as consistency and viscosity are determined in both shear and extensional flow. Many commonly-used materials and formulations exhibit complex rheological properties and in order to determine the behaviour as well as predict and govern their properties, effective and reliable characterisation of these fluids is important.

4. 2. Exploring the role of rheology in bolus flow using an in-vitro approach

   Author : Muhammad Waqas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extensional rheology; ultrasound viscometery; Bolus rheology; in vivo analysis; in vitro manometry; In-vitro simulations; degluitition; microstructure analysis; thickened fluids; Dysphagia;

   Abstract : Swallowing disorders, termed ‘dysphagia’, are more common in the elderly but can also affect younger persons. Approximately, 8% of the world’s population suffers from dysphagia. A Texture Modified Diet (TMD), which increases bolus viscosity to adjust for the sluggish bolus handling mechanism, is the most common intervention. READ MORE

5. 3. Rheology of Wheat Flour Doughs at Large Deformations and the Relation to Baking Quality and Physical Structure

   Author : Katarina Wikström; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; mixograph; multivariate analysis; stress relaxation; uniaxial flow; biaxial flow; baking quality; extensional flow; enzymes; Dough; rheology; Livsmedelsteknik;

   Abstract : The effects on dough rheology at large deformations in elongational flow and shear flow have been studied. The results are related to bread making quality in terms of bread volume and to the physical structure of the dough. A new method for evaluation of an instrumented mixograph is reported. READ MORE

6. 4. Evaluation of a Measuring System for Determining Extensional Properties

   Author : Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LPTT-model; Viscoelastic fluid; Boger fluid; numerical simulation; FENE-CR model; extensional rheology; White-Metzner model; hyperbolic contraction flow;

   Abstract : Effective and reliable characterisations of fluids are important to gain knowledge of thebehaviour and to govern the properties of a fluid. Since food products often are non-Newtonian, viscoelastic liquids, the characterisation becomes more complicated. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessment of human swallowing using in-vivo and in-vitro approaches

   Author : Muhammad Waqas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

   Abstract : Texture modification is the most vital strategy to manage dysphagia: a condition in which food and beverages are difficult to swallow. Typically thickeners in the form of starch or gums are added to the food to increase the viscosity and thereby reduce the speed of bolus flow. READ MORE
