Measurements were carried out in order to establish the kinetic curve of rapeseed texturate strain. An attempt was made to describe mechanical properties of the investigated texturate according to a rheological model. Constants of rheological equations were determined.
Generally the cutting resistance consists of resistance to deformation, the resistance to decohesion, and the resistance to friction. The analytical models of those resistances for different rheological states are given in the work.
Rheological properties of cream with 60±1 % fat content were investigated. Cream was thermally treated in a temperature range of 15 to 80°C, at an average temperature gradient of 0.012°C s⁻¹ applying heating and cooling. The indexes of rheological equation, which describes pseudoplastic flow behaviour of cream, were calculated. There are significant differences among respective values of apparent viscosity of heated and cooled cream. These differences can be very important in engineering practice.
