Techniques for measuring rheological properties of polymeric materials have been well described previously by others (e.g., Whorlow, 1980; Macosko, 1994). The text by (1963) is still a valuable reference that explains in detail many facets of earlier attempts to measure rheological properties of polymeric materials as well as basic equations of viscometric flows. The unique nature of fluid foods prompted this author to review both the rheological properties of fluid foods and their measurement about 30 years ago (Rao, 1977a, 1977b). Subsequent efforts on rheology of foods include those of (1992, 2005) and (1996).
