The measured 2D <sup>1</sup>H MRI velocity maps unveiled a 5-fold velocity enhancement, and corresponding increase in wall slip, upon increasing the pre-shear time within 0–5 h, due to the 14 % increase in thickness of the crystalline nanoplatelets via recrystallization and aggregation of nanoplatelets.

In contrast to FCDs, flow cooperativity could not be observed for MFC dispersions due to the non-fractality of the fat crystal network. These results demonstrate that, by varying the pre-shear duration, the flow-microstructure properties of the MFC dispersions can be altered in a controlled manner.

The interactions between milk proteins and polysaccharides during yogurt fermentation are difficult to study, because they evolve over time due to the decrease in pH. To overcome this, we examine the impact of five different types of polysaccharides (low acyl gellan, high acyl gellan, xanthan, guar gum, ι-Carrageenan) during acid-induced milk gelation using Confocal Laser-Scanning Microscopy. Additionally, we employ Fourier space analysis, time-dependent oscillatory rheology, and cross-correlation image analysis to quantitatively understand how the different polysaccharides affect yogurt microstructure and properties. Our results show that addition of xanthan, guar gum, and ι-carrageenan results in faster structure formation, at pH values above the onset of gelation. Furthermore, while having identical charge density, low acyl gellan associates faster with the protein network compared to more acetylated high acyl gellan or highly branched xanthan.
