Questions and Answers

What characterizes the flow curve of random coil polysaccharides at low shear rates?

  • Viscosity is independent of shear rate (correct)
  • Entanglements are broken
  • Biopolymers tend to align
  • Viscosity decreases as shear rate increases

What happens to the viscosity of random coil polysaccharides as shear rate increases?

  • Viscosity decreases (correct)
  • Viscosity fluctuates
  • Viscosity remains constant
  • Viscosity increases

How does carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) differ from xanthan gum in terms of rheological behavior?

  • Neither CMC nor xanthan gum exhibit any rheological behavior
  • CMC has similar viscosity over a wide range of shear rates (correct)
  • Both CMC and xanthan gum have shear thinning behavior
  • Xanthan gum has similar viscosity over a wide range of shear rates

What is the key difference in rheological behavior between carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and xanthan gum?

Why is a sample with low viscosity more likely to result in higher perceived flavor or taste intensity?

<p>Low viscosity allows the sample to move readily in the mouth, exposing fresh surfaces. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers
