Moisture Content and Bulking of Aggregate01:10

Moisture Content and Bulking of Aggregate

353
The moisture content of aggregates is a crucial factor in construction, particularly in concrete mixing, as it influences the total water required in the mix. Moisture content represents the water coated on the exterior surface of the aggregate existing in a saturated and surface-dry condition. The total water content of a moist aggregate is the sum of its moisture content and water absorption.
When aggregates are exposed to rain or sit in stockpiles, they absorb moisture, which must be...

Design Example: Managing Concrete Workability

207
This example deals with managing the workability of concrete for a raft foundation project under hot weather conditions. Workability is crucial for ensuring the concrete is easy to place, compact, and finish. In this scenario, a slump test — a common method to measure the workability of fresh concrete — initially indicated low workability. This was attributed to the rapid water loss from the concrete mix, exacerbated by the high temperatures causing the course aggregates to heat up.

Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Plant-based Proteins
  • Protein Functionality

Background:

  • Soy protein concentrate (SPC) is a common meat replacer ingredient, typically produced via wet fractionation.
  • Faba bean protein concentrate (FBPC) can be produced via dry fractionation, preserving native protein functionality.
  • Differences in processing lead to distinct functional properties, such as water binding capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of dry-heat treatment on FBPC properties.
  • To compare the effects of dry-heating on FBPC with SPC.
  • To understand the structural changes and mechanisms responsible for altered FBPC functionality.

Main Methods:

  • Dry fractionation of faba beans to produce FBPC.
  • Dry-heat treatment of FBPC at temperatures ranging from 75-175 °C.
  • Analysis of water-holding capacity, protein solubility, and protein structure (light microscopy, bond analysis).

Main Results:

  • Dry-heating increased FBPC water-holding capacity and decreased protein solubility, approaching SPC values.
  • Heat-induced partial protein denaturation altered protein structure and exposed hydrophobic sites.
  • Protein aggregation was observed, driven by noncovalent bonds, leading to reduced solubility.

Conclusions:

  • Dry-heating is an effective method to modify the functional properties of dry-fractionated FBPC.
  • Heat-treated FBPC can achieve desirable functional characteristics for specific applications.
  • While functional outcomes resemble SPC, the underlying mechanisms of property modification differ between the two protein sources.
