title: Segregation in food powders.
abstract: Segregation tendency in food powder mixtures can be monitored by simple vibration or flow tests. It is shown that segregation can occur not only in free flowing powders but also in cohesive powders. The intensity of the phenomenon depends not only on the composition, size and mechanical history of the powder but also on whether the mixture is "ordered" or not.
