τ0—yield stress; k—consistency coefficient; n—flow behaviour index; R2—correlation coefficient. Results are presented as arithmetic mean ± standard deviation of three measurements. Mean values within a column followed by different superscript letters are significantly different (Tukey’s test, p ˂ 0.05).
