As a link in the studies on the extracellular polysaccharide by lactic acid bacteria, the experiment was conducted to investigate the viscosity variations and rheological properties of 10% reconstituted skim milk and 12% reconstituted whole milk, respectively. 1. 10% reconstituted skim milk cultured by Str. thrennophilus 510 showed strong flow property of pseudoplastic fluid depending upon the production of exopolysaccharide. And the viscosity reached the highest value within 14% concentration. 2. 12% reconstituted whole milk cultured by lactic acid bacteria indicated flow property of pseudoplastic fluid. But there was a big difference in the viscosity as compared with 10% skim milk. 3. The maximum consistency index (k) and the minimum flow behavior index (n) of the fermented milk by Str. thermophilus 510 were 43 and 0.09, respectively. They were 35 and 0.09, in case of Lb. bulgaricus.

A highly viscous biopolymer from Bacillus coagulans CE-74 was purified and its rheological properties were studied The rheological properties of biopolymers produced by Bacillus coagulans CE-74 were studied at the temperature ranges with 20~8$0^{\circ}C$, at the concentration of 0.5~4.0%, at the pH ranges from 3 to 1 and at the shear rate fo 7.34~73.38 sec-1. The apparent viscosity of biopolymer was decreased with increasing shear rate, and thereby biopolymer showed pseudoplastic characteristics. Biopolymer solution showed a characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid properties. At the concentration of 1%, the consistency index and the flow behavior index were shown at 2.64 poise. sec11 and 0.8571, respectively. All dispersions were pseudoplastic fluids described accurately by Herschel-Bulkley model. The change of the biopolymer viscosity on pH showed the highest value at the pH 7.0 and it showed lower at acidic conditon that at alkaline condition comparatively.

The rheological properties of exopolysaccharide(EPS-R) produced by marine bacteria Hahella chjuensis KCTC 2395 was investigated. EPS-R solution showed a characteristic non-Newtonian behavior fluid properties. In aqueose dispersions of EPS-R 1%, consistency index(K) and flow behavior index(n) were 1,410 cp and 0.73. EPS-R solution was pseudoplastic fluid by power-low model. Rheological propertie of EPS-R was found to be influenced by the concentration of salt, pH, temperature and ionic compounds.

Rheological property and apparent viscosity(η)of several semi-solid foods were measured with extrusion capillary viscometer. Apparent viscosities of several semi-solid foods ranged from 0.2714 Pa.s to 2.6453 Pa.s Rheological property of spread type semi-solid foods was pseudoplastic (with yield value). Especially, as the moisture content and temperature of Chungkook-jang spread increased, apparent viscosity decreased. On the contrary, as the added soybean oil content of Chungkook-jang spread increased, apparent viscosity also increased.

We investigated that how both the type and the concentration of coal and the surfactant and the electrolyte added to increase the fluidity of CWM influence rheological characteristics. According to the type of coal, the viscosity of CWM was increased with increasing O/C ratio. Also, the CWM was represented the property of non-Newtonian fluid, having yield stress which was linerarly increased with increasing coal concentration. According to the surfactant used as an additive, the rheological characteristics of CWM was represented the pseudoplastic property as n<1 without relating to the concentration of added surfactants. Also, according to the increase of the amount of electrolyte, n was nearly approached 1. Therfore, we found that CWM opproched Newtonian fluid and that when more than 0.05wt.% of electrolyte were added, yield stress was not shown up.

To elucidate the flow properties of carboxymethyl chitin (CM-chitin), the critical concentration and flow equation of aqueous CM-chitin solution were investigated. The concentration of $0.8\%$ appeared to be the critical concentration. So interaction occurred between polymer chains in the CM-chitin solutions had the higher concentration than $0.8\%$ but not in lower than $0.8\%.\;0.5\%$ CM-chitin solution was revealed as a newtonian flow but $1.0\%$ CM-chitin solution showed a pseudoplastic flow. Flow constants of $3.0\%$ CH-chitin solution were 0.0908cp for $\eta_\infty$, 770cp for $\eta_0$, 0.81 for $\beta$ and 0.36 for n. Therefore, flow equation of $3.0\%$ CM-chitin solution was as follow; $$\eta=0.1+\{{770/(1+0.81D^{0.36})\}$$.

To develop a new form of spice material by concentration of garlic juice, its rheological properties were investigated. In the temperature range of $15\;to\;65^{\circ}C$, the garlic juice with the solid content of $32\;to\;60^{\circ}Brix$ was considered as a pseudoplastic fluid. Flow and consistency indices of the juice interpreted by power-law equation varied from $0.9937\;to\;0.6130\;and\;0.0041\;to\;3.1886Pa{\;s^n$, respectively. Apparent viscosity was lineally decreased as shear rate was increased. Activation energy for the flow of the garlic juice changed in the range of 11,216 to 23,195 kJ/kg mol.

A highly viscous biopolymer from alkali-tolerant Bacillus sp. was purified and its rheological properties were studied. 1% (w/v) solution of purified biopolymer showed pseudoplastic fluid behavior with the yield stress similar to those of xanthan and guar gum, and its consistency index was exponentially dependent on concentration and temperature. The concentration dependency of consistency index exhibited two rectilinear plots with different slopes at 1% concentration and pseudoplastic property increased with the increase of biopolymer concentration. The biopolymer solution exhibited a low temperature dependency and the activation energy of flow was 1.16 kacl/g mol. The apparent viscosity was very dependent on the change of pH and the addition of salt. However, no organic solvent effects were observed effects of viscosity synergism with the addition of viscosifier were not observed.

Rheological properties of gamma-irradiated arrowroot starch was examined to utilize as fundamental research data far processing. Irradiated arrowroot starch solutions (3, 4, 5, 6%) were gelatinized at $95^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, and its flow properties measured using rheometer at $30^{\circ}C$ and 10 to 200 rpm rotation rate. Rheological parameters of irradiated arrowroot starch gelatinized solution were calculated using Herschel-Bulkley equation. Gelatinized arrowroot starch solutions irradiated at $0^{\circ}C$ and 5kGy showed pseudoplastic fluid behavior, while those irradiated at 10, 20, and 30kGy were the dilatant with ${\tau}_y=0$ (yield stress).

The rheological properties of biopolymers produced by Bacillus sp. K-1 and its mutant strains(KM-21, KM-83) were studied. Apparent viscosity of biopolymers decreased as rising the temperature. The biopolymer produced by KM-21 strain showed 1.7 times low viscosity, 2.7 times low viscosity by K-1 and 1.9 times low viscosity by KM-83 at $80^{\circ}C$ compared with at $20^{\circ}C$ respectively. The viscosity of biopolymer solution also increased with increasing the polymer concentration and showed pseudoplastic characteristics which is high temperature dependency in all concentration. The change of the biopolymer viscosity on the pH showed the highest value at the pH 7.0 and it showed lower at acidic condition than at alkaline condition comparatively.
