F03 – Understand and control the behavior of gelling agents and gelled products thanks to rheometry
2 days – 14 p.m.
June 21 & 22, 2022
Grenoble
€1 excl. tax/share.
(Lunches included)
Objectives
During this two-day practical advanced training, participants will deepen their understanding and mastery of the behavior of gelling agents and gelled products thanks to instrumental techniques and in particular to the rheometry. Participants will learn to:
- Linking industrial problems of the behavior of gelling agents and gelled products to the associated physical and physico-chemical phenomena
- Evaluate the relevance of an instrumental technique to investigate these questions
- Identify parameters of interest and appropriate instrumental techniques
- Take control of certain rheometry techniques for gelling agents and gelled products
