Food Testing — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers on texture profile analysis, probes, and packaging seal testing
TPA is a two-bite compression test quantifying six parameters: hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, adhesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness. These values correlate directly to sensory panel ratings for product quality control.
Yes. By fitting 180-degree peel fixtures and selecting ASTM F88 in software, the same machine tests both food texture and packaging seal strength - making a single UTM the hub of a complete food quality lab.
We supply cylindrical probes from 2 to 75 mm diameter, knife blades, Kramer shear cells, Warner-Bratzler blades, back-extrusion cells, and Volodkevich bite jaws. All food-safe stainless steel with hygienic designs.
The Testometric X100-FTA Food & Texture Testing machine is purpose-built for this work. Paired with winTest Analysis software and interchangeable probes, it runs TPA, firmness, snap, and puncture tests, while larger X-Series frames handle packaging and higher-force applications.
