INTRODUCTION
It is now well known that process conditions during bread dough
mixing strongly influence the gluten network development (Auger
et al., 2007). Among the process conditions, it is also widely
admitted that shear rate distribution in the dough mixer play a
major role in obtaining the desired gluten network. Unfortunately,
such information, experimentally and numerically, is scarce for
planetary mixer (Tanguy et al., 1996, 1999, Zhou et al., 2000,
Jongen, 2000). In particular, very few contributions deal with the
case of planetary mixer encountered in dough transformation. The
aim of this contribution is to partially fill this gap. In particular,
using different Newtonian model fluids, a numerical simulation
was carried out using commercial volume control software
(FluentTM 6.3.26) to determine the velocity field in a dough mixer
and the associated shear rate distribution.

CONCLUSION
The result of this CFD computation gives us interesting
information about how local shear rate influence the gluten
network development.
