Flow and viscoelastic properties of three thickened systems are presented: aqueous solutions of locust bean gum, of xanthan and a dispersion of a crosslinked waxy corn starch. Creep measurements allow investigations at very low shear rates. The existence of a yield stress is discussed. Flow was observed at low shear rates, but the starch paste exhibited pseudo‐yield stress behaviour. Dynamic measurements were performed and the relationships between flow curves and mechanical spectra are discussed.
