Figure 5: Rheological profile of the alternative emulsions and
samples 1 (top) and 2 (bottom)
The parameters obtained from the textural analysis in all prepared
sample emulsions are presented in Table 9. The alternative that comes
closer to the textural parameters of Sample 1 is K1-R3. For Sample 2,
both formulations (L2-R3-V1 and K2-R3-V1) have similar values when
compared to Sample 2. Although no sensorial tests were performed on
these formulations, it has been reported that the textural parameters
here evaluated do correlate well with the sensorial attributes of the
final product. In particular, firmness is related to the tackiness as
perceived by the user, and consistency, cohesiveness, and index of
viscosity all directly correlate with slipperiness.48
