What is on the Viscosity Menu?

Syrup, Juice, Chocolate Milk and Coffee-Mate. What is their viscosity and how does it depend on shear rates?

Viscosity of food products determine how much energy is needed for pumping and how cost-effective the production process is. Food texture or "mouth feel", is just as important as taste, which is strongly affected by viscosity and dependendent on shear rate. 

In this application note you will learn:

• How common liquids flow
• How their viscosity is relevant for food industry applications
