Abstract

The development of rheometers has considerably improved our understanding of the textural properties of foods. In this chapter, we provide a thorough explanation of rheological behaviour, including the origins of modern rheometers. Consideration is given to the role of test geometries and specific types of measurements that can be undertaken.
