Investigation of Chaotic Mixing Performance on Characteristic Properties of Cake Batter

Chaotification is the process of making an originally non-chaotic system being chaotic by applying a suitable control input. The aim of the study was to create a chaotic mixing mechanism using a kitchen type mixer and to test its performance on the quality characteristics of cake batter material. A prototype mixer that works originally with conventional method has been realized with hardware and software changes on a commercial kitchen type mixer. The results obtained at the end of the study showed that the kitchen type mixer was able to successfully switch from the classical mixing mode to the chaotic mixing mode and this mixing mode positively affected the structural and sensory characteristics of the cake batter samples.
