The main objective of this work was to study the influence of the gelling agent (Aerosil 200) concentration on viscoelastic functions. A further objective was to study the effect of different shear-induced post-treatments on the viscoelastic functions and microstructure of rosemary essential oil/Aerosil 200 emulgels. The increase of Aerosil 200 concentration provoked an increase of viscoelastic functions. In addition, the shear applied influences both elastic and viscous modulus. Interestingly, there is a decrease in viscoelastic properties with shear. This work proves the importance of controlling shear post-treatments.
