Description
Summary:This review covers conventional and new methods used to measure flowability of rice flour. Powder flowability is inherently complex due to many physical and environmental variables that determine how it responds to being moved. Investigating flowability requires a high specification powder rheometer having exceptional sensitivity and repeatability of measurement. This study shows how rice flour can be characterized regarding flowability in relation to flow rate, compaction and other factors.
