There is clear evidence that the consumption of high calorific and/or salty diets leads to chronic diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes and hypertension (Dahl, 2005). However, most people are reluctant to change their dietary habits.This gives the formulation scientist (microstructural engineer) an opportunity to develop the science and understanding necessary to produce high quality everyday foods with lower calories and salt, but with all the qualities and consumer perception of the unhealthy food (Le Révérend et al., 2009; Norton et al., 2006b). One of the major tools available is rheological measurements/materials measurement. However, in order to understand the product and redesign it to be healthier and still acceptable to the consumer, no one technique can be used alone. So, from a practical standpoint, a range of techniques are used to get an understanding of the products and how different parameters relate to consumer response. For instance, in order to understand what happens in the mouth, we need to use tribology, rheology, viscosity at a range of temperatures, yield values (creep compliance), Young’s modulus and failure stress and strain. For spreading, we need rheology, thin-film behaviour (tribology) and compression tests; if a product is to be cooked, we need to measure the relevant material properties at a range of temperatures. A good example of the approach necessary to understand and then gain detailed control of the rheological properties of food can be given by considering mayonnaise. On the face of it, this is a simple food. However, in order to formulate a product that can be considered to be a healthy everyday food, what do we need to do? There are many low-fat mayonnaise formulations in the market. However, they suffer in terms of their acceptability because their textures are significantly different from
