Systems of practical relevance to the food industry are often hard to investigate non-invasively. This is caused by the fact that most food emulsions are opaque and soft materials. The relevant length scales are often micrometers. Spin-echo small-angle scattering (SESANS) operates at these length scales and benefits from the high penetrating power of neutrons. SESANS yields directly the...

Hydration and vitrification is an essential factor determining the physical property and quality of food. Inelastic neutron scattering is a promising experimental method for analysis of water mobility and glass transition of food materials. Neutron has high permeability in materials, and can observe non-destructively the molecular dynamics of materials involved in food. Molecular Dynamics...

Cellulose microfibril (CMF) dispersions find many applications in food industry [1]. They are typically prepared by defibrillation of plant cell wall material under high shear [2]. Aqueous CMF dispersions have to be protected from agglomeration by a stabilizer, typically soluble polymer, such as pectin, which coexists with cellulose in plant cell walls. In industrial processing, CMFs undergo...
