Influence of Temperature on the Rheological Behavior of Orange Honey
Ioana Stanciu
Abstract
The study was performed to determine the effect of the logarithm of the viscosity on the inverse of the absolute temperature for orange honey. Based on the studied rheograms, it turned out to be a non-Newtonian fluid. The shear range used did not significantly affect the absolute viscosities of orange honey at different temperatures. The absolute viscosities of orange honey have decreased with increasing temperature and can be equipped with an Arrhenius type relationship. The rheological behavior is influenced by both humidity and its composition.
