This paper in Trends in Food Science and Technology details the findings of research conducted by Dr Yong Wang and Prof. Cordelia Selomulya, from UNSW’s School of Chemical Engineering, into applications of Large Amplitude Oscillation Shear (LAOS). LAOS, a promising method for food processing and formulation, is not yet widely used in food rheology due to uncertainty about which LAOS tools to deploy for specific applications. This paper provides food manufacturers with much-needed information about the most suitable LAOS analytical tools to use with different food categories (dough, cheese, confectionery); formats (emulsion, foam) and components (proteins, polysaccharides, and fats).
