Funded Activity Summary

Modelling soft filled viscoelastic solids. Wheat flour doughs are made in vast quantities daily, and improvements in processing, especially in sheeting (rolling) and extrusion are needed. To enable this we will create a novel mathematical description of the material which will be useful for predicting the shapes of processed products. Wheat breeding cycles can be shortened by using the model rheological parameters, since baking quality is closely linked to dough rheology. A number of Australian wheats will be considered and their rheologies will be compared.
