The Rheology Division is no longer active and award program no longer offered.
The Rheology Division was formed in 1985 for members who have an interest in rheology and provides a forum for scientists, rheologists, engineers and technologists interested in all phases of rheology, as related to cereals, flour, dough, batter, extrudates, and cereal-based finished products, to share and discuss ideas and information. Areas of interest include:
- Fundamental and empirical testing.
- Dough and batter behavior during mixing, fermentation, machining and baking.
- Evaluation of product texture by instrumental or sensory techniques.
- Other aspects of rheology.
The following awards are no longer awarded:
The Rheology Division proudly sponsors several awards to scientists and students working in the area of rheology, in order to recognize their accomplishments, subsidize their efforts and publicize the field of rheology in general.
Isydore Hlynka Best Student Paper Award
The Division selects the best rheology paper presented by a student at the Cereals & Grains Association annual meeting each year and the award is presented the following to the selected top student during the Rheology Division Luncheon.
Rheology Division selects those papers which apply rheological methods, models and/or techniques to investigate problems and provide insights within the world of cereal science. In addition to the content of the paper itself, the presentation of the paper by the student is also used as criteria to judge a winner.
