Today’s viscometers are very user- friendly and functional thanks to rotational viscometer technology. The most common way to measure and track viscosity is with a viscometer. It is a very important test that offers repeatable and reliable results, ensuring that the quality of the product is not only achieved but maintained from batch to batch. Viscosity testing is a tool used in the production process of just about every type of food and beverage. If a cake batter has an inappropriately low level of viscosity, the phases will easily separate at the wrong time, resulting in a poor-quality cake. Pinpointing and maintaining an exact viscosity when baking or working with dough ensures phase separation happens at the appropriate time during the baking process, affecting the quality of the baked goods. In the baking industry, viscosity plays a very important role as it will impact the chance of phase separation, affecting the products made from batter and dough. To achieve the correct density, texture, and taste of chocolate when it becomes solid, careful consideration to the viscosity of the product when it is a liquid is vital. For example, the thickness of chocolate when it is in a melted state will impact the finished solid state. The chocolate industry is dependent on viscosity testing as the texture and flow of chocolate can be complex to manufacture and maintain.
The texture of food is dramatically impacted by changes in viscosity. When there is a change in a material’s property such as molecular weight and density, this affects how a liquid flows and how the viscosity changes, and the quality is altered. A fluid with a higher viscosity would pour slower and seem thicker than a fluid with less viscosity.
Viscosity describes a fluid’s internal resistance to flow.
