Food Rheology: Importance, Applications and Future Scope

Food Rheology: Importance, Applications and Future Scope

Rheology deals with the flow and deformation behavior of materials whereas tribology is the field describing friction, wear, and lubricating behavior of mating interfaces. While rheology is extensively used to characterize flow properties such as viscosity and viscoelastic behavior in the food and beverage industry, tribology is a relatively newer technique which has gained immense traction over the past decade. The current webinar showcases both these characterization techniques with focus on test methodologies and applications. Real life examples of food and beverage samples including ketchup, cheese, starch, coffee would be discussed here.

Key Takeaways:
- Basics of Rheology: Definition, Instrumentation, Test Methodologies
- Understanding food material flow and deformation behavior 
- Determining the influence of time, temperature, and stresses on the stability of food samples
- Specific case studies involving dairy products, ketchup, etc.
- Brief introduction into Food Tribology
