Examination of the rheological properties of stirred joghurt during the long-term storage by using dynamic oscillation method by Milica Vilušić

“…The long-term storage of stirred yoghurt and the results of dynamic oscilations showed permanently higher G’storage (elasticity) modulus, where elastic properties of viscoelastic products dominate, in comparison with the G” loss (viscosity) modulus. Increased moduls of elasticy and viscosity, as function of time, permanently occurs at pH value 4.00 and lower, as an indication of alteration of long casein chains in the coagulum structure. …”
