Typical TPA testing of texture analyzer

Principle of texture analyzer:

Texture analyzer can avoid the limitations of human sensory evaluation and obtain accurate, stable, and reproducible physical property parameters. Such as hardness, solidity, elasticity, toughness, crispness, chewiness, adhesiveness, adhesiveness, etc. When the sample is subjected to static or dynamic forces, there will be changes in pressure or deformation forces. The texture analyzer can accurately measure force, distance, and time. Based on the relationship between the three variables, analyze the data to obtain physical property indicators.

TPA Definition:

Whole texture testing（Texture Profile Analysis, abbreviationTPA）Texture profile analysis, also known as two chewing tests. The main method is to simulate the chewing motion of the human oral cavity through a texture analyzer probe and compress the sample twice.Mainly used in baking products such as bread, cakes, etc; Meat products, such as ham and meatballs; Noodle products; Fruits and vegetables, etc.
