Rheological behavior of high altitude Indian honey varieties as affected by temperature
The rheological properties of high altitude India honeys were analyzed in honeydew (pine) and nectar honey (multifloral and acacia) varieties at a wide range of temperatures (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 °C). All the honey samples were significantly dominated by loss modulus (G″) which displayed their visco...

| Summary: | The rheological properties of high altitude India honeys were analyzed in honeydew (pine) and nectar honey (multifloral and acacia) varieties at a wide range of temperatures (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 °C). All the honey samples were significantly dominated by loss modulus (G″) which displayed their viscous nature. Irrespective of geographical origin and temperature, all the honey varieties showed a Newtonian behavior. The viscosity of all honey varieties showed a strong dependence on temperature, and Arrhenius model was examined to describe this. Keywords: Honey, Loss modulus, Storage modulus, Viscosity, Arrhenius model |
