On the other hand, if the deformation time scale is much smaller than the relaxation time (i.e. at high frequency of deformation), the system shows an elastic-like response. The equilibrium storage modulus ðG0 eÞ, the plateau G0 independent of the applied frequency, was observed for both systems. ðG0 eÞ of the 5 and 10% (w/w) lipids are about 6 and 30 Pa, respectively. The value of G0 e is directly related to the density of network structure meaning that the network structure of 10% (w/w) lipid was stronger than that of 5% (w/w) lipid, which was due to the higher amount of lipid incorporated into the system inducing an increase in the interaction between the lipid particles. Therefore, the liquid consistency found in the 5% (w/w) lipid dispersion was corresponded to the smaller magnitudes of G0 , sc and t comparative to the semi-solid in the 10% (w/w) lipid system as summarized in Table 3.
