Online particle size measurement in microgel particle suspensions: Principles and data analysis

Abstract

If a gelled system is subjected to shearing or the concentration of reactive components is low, microgel particles are formed. Since labile microgel particles with high water capacities can often be found in food systems, and as they are important for the textural properties, particle size measurement is relevant for fundamental research and control of industrial processes. A chord length measurement system was tested for online particle sizing. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
