Abstract

Rheological measurements have been performed on pectin-calcium systems close to the sol-gel transition. Two different experimental setups - steady state and oscillatory shear measurements - show scaling of the viscoelastic properties. The results of both types of measurements are consistent with each other and with scalar percolation theory.
