Rheology: A feasible tool to assess the viscoelastic behavior of natural ingredients

Rheology studies the flow and deformation of materials. Thus, the knowledge of the rheological and mechanical properties is important for product design, production, quality control, and for predicting shelf storage stability. Rheology studies can assist scientists in formulating optimal products....

description Rheology studies the flow and deformation of materials.
