Food products

Texture analyses of food products are conducted under conditions that mimic the stresses these products experience in everyday life. The advantage is that they eliminate all aspects of subjectivity. Benefits of instrumental testing for food products include the ability to evaluate key criteria such as freshness and crispness. Test results are reproducible and can be interpreted graphically, while documentation is straightforward. Accurate documentation of product quality also simplifies negotiations between suppliers, wholesalers, and customers.
