Detailed Parameter Evaluation

We assess various texture parameters to provide a thorough analysis of your sample, including:
Hardness
Resistance to deformation or penetration.
Cohesiveness
Degree to which the sample holds together.
Adhesiveness
Tendency of the sample to stick to surfaces.
Elasticity
Ability of the sample to return to its original shape after deformation.
Fracturability
Force required to break the sample.
Chewiness and Gumminess
Textural properties relevant to food products.
