Food Rheology

A Practical Guide

Rheology is the study of material flow and deformation, being critical for food processing and product design. Taking a practical approach with examples and applications, this book covers the principles and fundamentals of food rheology and the effect of product composition and processing conditions on rheological properties.

Rheology is the study of material flow and deformation, defining different aspects of food processing and product design. Food rheology affects several unit operations during food processing, the behavior during shelf life, the consumer perception during consumption and the interaction of food products with the human body (from chewing and swallowing to digestion). Therefore, it is imperative for professionals involved in food science and engineering to understand and assess food rheology.

Food Rheology: A Practical Guide presents the main aspects of food rheology as a practical guide, demonstrating that applying food rheology does not need to be a complex task.

Key Features

• Presents a practical, direct and didactic description of food rheology, with many examples and applications
• Includes a guide for designing, performing and interpreting experiments, highlighting the main concerns and tips
• Describes different food products (liquid, semi-solid and solid; homogeneous and heterogeneous; vegetable- and animal-based) with examples and applications
• Explores structure-processing-properties relations

More direct, practical and consulting, this book can help students, professionals and professors to understand the basic concepts to design, perform and interpret experiments related to food processing and properties.
