The loss tangent values showed variations in the proportional contribution of the viscous and elastic moduli. The lyophilization process produced a higher contribution of the viscous component. However, the reduction in water and protein content that takes place with the change from the 100% granules to the 60% granules recipe resulted in the most elastic batter.
The viscoelastic properties of each batter were measured within the frequency range with the complex modulus (G*). These experimental data of G* were adjusted to the power law equation presented in Section 2.5.2. Values obtained are shown in Table 3.
