SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Getting Started with Rheology for Foods and Beverages
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Details: \nRSVP Now! \nAre your products delicious? How can you measure creaminess or the wobble of a jelly? How does temperature affect processing\, does it really make things better? How do I improve the thickness of coating? Rheology impacts all of these key attributes and behaviors of foods and beverages but can be a minefield of complicated maths and arcane academic language. In this webinar we will help attendees skip to the best bits of rheology that they can use immediately to start solving their problems. \nWe will explain fundamental ideas that you can observe in day-to-day products\, such as why non-Newtonian behavior is great for stability and spreadability. We’ll highlight some potential pitfalls when it comes to material characterization\, how to avoid them\, and also some useful tips and ideas about how to get the most from your own equipment. \nThe webinar is designed for all levels of technical capability\, whether you are a rheometer user or someone who needs to interpret or present data\, or simply looking for the right language to describe texture for your products\, there is something in here for everyone.
