Non-Newtonian behaviour of heather honey

The aim of this research was to evaluate the rheological properties including viscoelasticity of heather honeys. It was stated that heather honeys exhibited non-Newtonian, shear-thinning behaviour with tendency to yield stress and they were thixotropic, as well. The parameters of the Herschel–Bulkley model describing flow behaviour of samples depended on the kind of honey, its water content, and the measurement temperature. Oscillatory rheology...
