An investigation of the rheology and indentation response of vegetable shortening using finite element analysis

Many soft food materials, including vegetable shortening, exhibit complex rheological behaviour with properties that resemble those of a solid and a liquid simultaneously. The fundamental parameters used to describe the rheological response of vegetable shortening were obtained from uniaxial compre...
