Effects of different nut oils on the structures and properties of gel-like emulsions induced by ultrasound using soy protein as an emulsifier

Gel-like emulsions were produced by high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) emulsification using soy protein as an emulsifier. Sunflower (a seed kernel oil), peanut (a groundnut oil), hazelnut, walnut, almond and pine nut oils were chosen as oil phases. The kinds of nut oil significantly affect the structures and properties of gel-like emulsions. The particle size of sunflower oil gel-like emulsion was smallest. Moreover, the macrorheological and microrheological results indicated that the values of apparent viscosity, storage modulus (G′) and elasticity index (EI) of sunflower and almond oil gel-like emulsions were higher while those of the walnut and pine nut oil gel-like emulsions were lower. Moreover, the sunflower oil gel-like emulsion was more stable after 2-month storage. The current study illustrated that HIU was of great importance for the production of high-viscosity gel-like emulsions. Furthermore, the differences of nut oils resulted in diverse physicochemical properties of gel-like emulsions.     

Rheological characteristics of foamed gel for mine fire control

Foamed gel as a new type of fire extinguishing material is used to prevent the spontaneous combustion of coal. In order to make a comprehensive study on rheological characteristics of foamed gel for mine fire control, by using type NDJ‐5s digital viscometer, the factors such as mass concentration of the mixture mixed by thickener and crosslinker, foaming multiple, added salts (NaCl, CaCl₂, AlCl₃), pH value and temperature having influences on the rheological properties of foamed gel have been investigated in this paper. It can be found that foamed gel shows the characteristic of non‐Newtonian fluids and has shear‐thinning properties. With increasing of mass concentration of the mixture, the thixotropy response becomes more significant. When the foaming multiple reaches 20, the apparent viscosity gets the maximum value. The obvious viscosity characteristic of ‘polyelectrolyte solution’ is observed in aqueous salt solutions when added salts are put into the solution. Under different conditions of pH values, foamed gel has higher sensitivity to acid than alkaline. Zero shear viscosity, depending on temperature, decreases with the temperature increasing. Meanwhile, the fire performances of foamed gel are studied experimentally and theoretically. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
