Abstract

Abstract: Studying the microstructure of dairy products – milk powder, fermented milks, cheeses, means research information about the physico-chemical interactions that occur in the product matrix. Additionally, the comprehension of texture, solubility, flow, viscoelasticity and fracture characteristics of the product that can affect its sensorial, nutritional and functional characteristics may be learned. These aspects will be demonstrated and discussed in this chapter especially in dairy products where yogurt and cheese are the main products.
