Rheological models applied to wheat and corn dough

Abstract

Rheological models of a food system are useful for simulating a material’s response to an applied stress or strain and for predicting the effect of composition and processing conditions. Rheological models can be applied when experimental data is expressed in fundamental units. This article describes two rheological models used for studying wheat and corn dough: the biaxial extensional model and the oscillatory dynamic model. The results of research related to this topic are also reported.
