Effect of storage on the rheological and viscoelastic properties of mayonnaise emulsions of different oil droplet size.

The rheological and viscoelastic properties of mayonnaise emulsions with different size of oil droplets were investigated. Α programmable rotational rheometer was used for the measurements and flow curves were determined at constant and variable shear rate. Mayonnaise exhibited a non-Newtonian, shear-thinning flow with yield stress and time-dependent features.
