DETERMINATION OF VISCOSITIES OF SOME SELECTED LIQUIDS USING STOKE’S METHOD

ABSTRACT Viscosity is a property of a liquid and is defined as the resistance of a liquid toflow. This research is to determine the viscosities of motor oils (10w – 40w, 20w –50w), vegetable oil and honey using the fall sphere method. The viscosity of honeywith 4.44Ns/m2was found to be the highest and that of vegetable oil having a valueof 0.002861Ns/m2  is termed the lowest. The viscosities of motor oils (20W-50W )and (10W-40W) were found to be 0.00468Ns/m2  and 0.00374Ns/m2  respecti...

Evaluation of the Emulsification properties of Hydroxypropylated Cassava Starch and its potential use in cocoa beverage

ABSTRACT Lecithin is used for applications in human food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, paints, and other  industrial applications, but consistent importation of lecithin has a negative effect on foreign  exchange leading to devaluation of the naira. The need to explore locally available products such  as cassava starch as a possible substitute to the use of lecithin is paramount, hence, the reason for  this work. This research was carried out to evaluate the emulsification properties of�...
