oyd-instrum.ents. com Confectionery and Snacks From the hardness of boiled sweets to the extensibility of chewing gum or the fracture strength of snack foods, the TA1 is capable of testing all samples on the same machine. Typically, penetration tests are performed to measure properties such as coating hardness, stickiness and hardness. 3 point bend tests measure the flexural strength and rigidity of chocolate bars. Crispiness is a key characteristic of cooked potato crisps (chips) and other potato snacks and a departure from the expected texture is usually considered to be a quality defect....

Lloyd Materials Testing Fruit and Vegetables There are many factors that affect the texture of fruit and vegetables. The time of harvest and storage conditions have an effect on the rate of softening. Texture analysis can help determine the physical properties of fruit and vegetables, and how they change during ripening. Mechanical data from compression tests using the Ottawa shear cell for soft fruit and wedge fracture tests have proved very successful in distinguishing between different attributes of fruit and vegetable texture. The TA1 can be used to correlate contrasting textural...

oyd-instruments. com Dairy The development and quality control of dairy products are heavily reliant on texture analysis. During the development phase, texture analysis compares the texture of new formulations to existing proven products. The TA1 is able to compare the spreadability of butter and spreads by measuring the force required to insert a 90° cone probe into a specially designed holder. Extrusion cells allow the measurement of viscosity of yoghurts and sauces. Alternatively the TA1 can be fitted with a cone shaped probe for classic penetrometer tests. Comparing the texture between...
