Abstract

The project will identify the origins of the delay in the gravitational separation of food emulsions flocculated by addition of salt or polymer. Two features contribute to the originality of the work: the use of monodisperse emulsions; and the combination of ultrasonic creaming techniques with dynamic rheological measurements. The research will be of considerable interest to the academic colloid community, and will provide food manufacturers with improved understanding of the structure and stability of emulsion products.
