Draper and Lawrence (1965a) have given mixture designs for three factors when all the mixture components can vary on the entire factor space so that the region of interest is an equilateral triangle in two dimensions. In this paper their work is extended to the cases when the region of interest is an echelon, parallelogram, pentagon or hexagon, because of the restirctions imposed on some or all of the mixture components. The principles used in the choice of appropriate designs are those originally introduced by Box and Draper(1959). It is assumed that a response surface equation of first order is fitted, but there is a possibility of bias error due to presence of second order terms in the true model. Minimum bias designs for several cases of restricted regions of interest are illustrated.

The concept of slope rotatability introduced by Hader and Park(1978) is available when we are interested in the difference of the responses. Since there can be constraints on the factor levels in mixture experiments, there arises a need for adaptation of the concept of slope rotatability and the measure to assess it. In this article, measures of slope rotatability in mixture experiments are proposed to quantify the amount of slope rotatability for a given design. Measures for a restricted region design as well as for an unrestricted region design are presented. Then, the designs having different optimalities are compared with respect to these measures by some examples.
