Milk gelation studied with small angle neutron scattering techniques and Monte Carlo simulations.

The sol-gel transition of fat-free milk by acidification was studied with neutron scattering experiments and Monte Carlo simulations. Spin-echo small angle neutron scattering (SESANS) and ultrasmall angle neutron scattering (USANS) experiments were performed to measure the static structure of milk and yogurt, as well as the aggregation kinetics. Colloidal gelation was simulated from a reaction limited domain (RLCA) to the diffusion limited regime (DLCA) as cluster-cluster aggregation of adhesive, hard spheres on a three-dimensional lattice.
