Viscoelastic characterization of selected foods over an extended frequency range
Three disparate food Mozzarella systems (gummy candy, cheese, and cooked ham) were characterized for their viscoelastic behavior under isothermal conditions over an extended frequency range of 10(-3) to 10(4) Hz using broadband viscoelastic spectroscopy (BVS). The materials were tested for any stress-induced fluid flow. However, no evidence of fluid flow was found under the tested frequency range. Validity of time-temperature superposition for the selected materials was also tested and compared with data from BVS.
