This thesis describes the characterization of the rheological properties of dense suspensions of sodium caseinate and micellar casein with respect to changes in concentration (100-200g/L), pH (7.0-5.3), charge density (Δα), and temperature (5-40°C). The relationship between pH and charge density and how this relationship is affected by changes in temperature and concentration were also addressed.
