I believe that most, if not all honey is thixotropic at room temperature. 6. Guar gum and micellar casein mixtures can be slightly thixotropic if a biphase system forms. 7. Honeys from manuka display thixotropic properties. 8. Both cytoplasm and the ground substance in the human body is thixotropic , as is semen. 9. The mixture is, however, highly thixotropic , so that when vibrated it turns liquid. 10. Although lava can be up to 100, 000 times more thixotropic and shear thinning properties.
