Abstract

Cheese rheology is highly complex and an attempt to understand the basic and advanced concepts have been carried out in this chapter. The chapter discusses the basic terminology and the methods used to test the rheology in a detailed manner. The distinctive features of cheese that rheologists should be aware of while designing experiments have been explained. Also, the pros and cons of the rheological test methods along with their procedures are explicated. The microstructure has been discussed briefly. Finally, the textural attributes of various cheeses have also been elaborated.
