Salami firmness plays a critical role in ensuring the quality and sensory appeal of reconstituted meat products. Due to the inherent variability in muscle fibers, fat content, and additives, consistent salami firmness can be challenging to achieve. Traditional sensory testing often fails to provide reliable, repeatable data. That’s where the precision of a texture analyzer comes into play. A texture analyzer enables food producers to accurately quantify the firmness measurement of salami. By using a software-controlled system equipped with a precision compression plate and intelligent loadcell, the device provides objective and repeatable data on the physical properties of meat products. How the Test Works The sample preparation is key to a reliable test. Salami cylinders, cut to 1-inch […]

What is a Softgel Capsule Hardness Tester? A softgel capsule hardness tester evaluates the elasticity and strength of soft gelatin capsules, ensuring they meet industry standards. Manufacturers depend on reliable testers to verify that capsules are durable enough for packaging and consumer use. This prevents costly failures during production and enhances product consistency. Example:The hardness tester is designed to uphold the highest standards in testing softgel and regular capsules automatically. It measures elasticity, resistance, and rupture strength, providing accurate and reproducible results. Understanding Softgel Capsules Softgel capsules, or “gel caps,” are commonly used for pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and supplements. These capsules encapsulate active ingredients, protecting them from external factors until consumed. The strength and […]

Syringe plungers are integral components in medical devices, crucial for the safe and effective administration of medications. Tensile testing plays a vital role in ensuring the plunger’s durability and reliability under normal use conditions. This article explores the significance of tensile testing for syringe plungers, the relevant standards such as ISO 8537, and how the MST-01 Medical Syringe Tester from Cell Instruments helps manufacturers meet these critical testing requirements. What is Tensile Testing for Syringe Plungers? Tensile testing, also known as tension testing, involves measuring the force required to stretch or pull the syringe plunger to determine its resistance to deformation or failure. This testing process is critical to ensure that the […]

Introduction In the world of bakery product manufacturing, consistency is key to delivering quality goods that meet customer expectations. One of the most critical tests for ensuring uniformity and strength in products such as flatbread is the flatbread burst strength test. This method quantifies how much force is required to break or deform a flatbread product, which is essential for assessing its texture, elasticity, and overall quality. Understanding the tear resistance of flatbread and measuring its elasticity through advanced texture analyzers for bakery products helps producers create consistent, high-quality items that meet industry standards. The Significance of Flatbread Burst Strength in Bakery Manufacturing Flatbread manufacturers often struggle to maintain uniform texture and resistance across different batches […]

Hot tack testing is an essential procedure in the research and development (R&D) of packaging materials, particularly those used in the food, medical, pharmaceutical, and various other industries. This testing method evaluates the strength of a seal while it is still hot, before it has cooled down and reached its final strength. Understanding the principles and applications of hot tack testing is crucial for ensuring the integrity and performance of packaging materials. This article delves into the details of hot tack testing, guided by standards ASTM F1921 and ASTM F2029, and highlights the importance of using a reliable Hot Tack Tester for accurate results. What is Hot Tack Testing? Hot tack testing […]

Introduction to Food Texture Analysis When it comes to bakery products, flavor is just the beginning. Equally important is the texture—the way a product feels when handled and consumed. Food texture analysis ensures manufacturers meet consumer expectations for softness, elasticity, and quality in products like cakes, bread, and pastries. This article explores how a texture analyser can measure critical properties like the firmness of cake and its springiness. Why Texture Matters in Bakery Products Today’s bakery market caters to a diverse range of consumers, offering everything from gluten-free options to classic confections. Despite this variety, one element remains unchanged: the demand for quality. Texture plays a pivotal role in shaping a consumer’s perception of quality, alongside taste and […]

Introduction Evaluating the texture of potato chips has traditionally relied on sensory testing, which, while valuable, often lacks consistency and objectivity. In an effort to provide a more reliable method, a potato chip texture test was developed using a computer-controlled texture analyzer for food. This approach enables manufacturers to quantitatively measure potato chip hardness evaluation and improve product quality through repeatable, software-driven testing procedures. The method provides critical insight for food producers, especially those striving to maintain consistent crunch and hardness in snack products like kettle chips and standard potato crisps. Test Objective and Importance Cell Instruments Co., Ltd. aims to deliver scientifically grounded methods for evaluating snack texture. The […]

Introduction In the world of material testing, the reliability and performance of packaging materials are paramount.
