The first {SLS} instruments are on the market today, and studies are needed to asses the potential of the technology. {SLS} can monitor particle changes and gelation formation in a fast and non-invasive manner during production of most food products. {SLS} is correlated to classical particle sizing parameters, i.e. size, number of light scatters and refractive index, as well as sensoric parameters like mouthfeel. The background of the {SLS} technology is explained, and results from yoghurt fermentation and foaming of a dairy dessert product is presented." }
