Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. Treatment of sago starch with a mixture of STPP and STMP yielded the best starch phosphate at the reaction pH of 9.5 which showed lower hot paste viscosity and much higher cold paste viscosity than that of sago starch phosphates prepared at pH 9 using STPP. …”

Phase Change Dispersion Made by Condensation–Emulsification by Fischer, Ludger J., Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…They are manufactured by high shear equipment like rotor-stator systems. A recently published method to produce emulsions by the direct condensation of the dispersed phase into the emulsifier-containing continuous phase is applied on this PCD. n-Decane is used as PCM, and the melting temperature is -30 °C. …”

The Influence of Root Geometry on Soil Cohesion and Anchoring Ability through Geologic Time by Colicci, Vittorio

“…Force laws were then derived to approximate the anchoring contributions of root weight, sediment weight, static friction, and shear strength. This analysis revealed a strong dependence on the span, surface area, and volume of the root system, which were used to normalize values across different geometries. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…Above a threshold value of c/U ≈ 1, separation is eliminated; and, relative to small- c/U cases, turbulence intensity and turbulent shear stress are reduced significantly. The drag force decreases monotonically as c/U increases while the power required for the transverse motion generally increases for large c/U; the net power input is found to reach a minimum at c/U ≈ 1.2 (for fixed U). …”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…These starches can be recognised physically by their clarity on gelatinisation, stability to retrogradation, low resistance to shear and high cold‐paste viscosity. The addition of mung bean flour to tapioca flour helped increase the protein content and flavour of the keropok; it also reduced the oil absorption of the keropok during frying. …”
