Understanding Pork Pie Crust Firmness: The Role of Texture Analyzers Introduction: Why Pork Pie Crust Firmness Matters Pork pie crust firmness plays a crucial role in product quality, impacting consumer satisfaction during cutting, biting, and overall mouthfeel. While sensory perception has traditionally guided texture evaluation, this subjective method can lead to inconsistencies. In the modern […]

Tensile Test Machines Tensile test machines, also known as universal testing machines, are designed to evaluate the tensile strength of various materials. These machines measure key properties such as: Ultimate tensile strength Yield strength Elongation Modulus Electromechanical test machines are ideal for low-force tensile testing up to 300 kN, while electrohydraulic configurations support higher loads […]

Introduction Maintaining the perfect texture in baked goods is essential for quality control. One of the key challenges in the food industry is ensuring bread freshness throughout production and distribution. With texture analysis, manufacturers can measure the staleness of bread using a penetration probe, providing objective data to enhance shelf-life evaluation. The Importance of Bread Freshness Testing The firmness of […]

Physical testing plays a pivotal role in ensuring food products meet consumer expectations. Unlike microbial and nutritional tests, physical testing focuses on sensory attributes like texture, color, and density, which are immediately noticeable to consumers. These characteristics directly influence purchasing decisions and brand loyalty. The Importance of Physical Testing in Food Quality Physical attributes are often the first […]

The safety and integrity of pharmaceutical products are paramount in the healthcare industry. One key aspect of packaging safety is the puncture resistance of injection elastomeric closures, which serve as the seal for drug containers like vials, syringes, and other injectable packaging. The puncture resistance of these closures determines whether they can withstand the forces applied […]

Plastic Film Tester | for Paints and Coatings For coatings to perform satisfactorily, they must adhere to the substrate on which they are applied. A variety of recognized methods can be used to determine how well a coating is bonded to the substrate. Common measuring techniques include mechanical adhesion testing, plastics testing, or using a […]

Introduction As health-conscious consumers drive demand for low-sugar alternatives, food manufacturers are challenged to maintain desirable texture and mouthfeel in reformulated products. For gelatin snacks, this is particularly critical. A gel strength tester offers an objective method for gelatin snack texture analysis, helping producers maintain quality while adapting recipes. Testing Objective In this case study, the goal was […]

When it comes to determining the durability and load-bearing capacity of a material, compression strength tests are essential. These tests measure how a material reacts when it’s compressed, which is crucial for industries like packaging, construction, and manufacturing.   What is a Compression Strength Test? A compression strength test evaluates a material’s ability to withstand loads that […]

ASTM D5458 specifies a standardized peel‐cling test to quantify the adhesive interaction between two layers of stretch wrap film under both stretched and unstretched conditions. The method outlines detailed procedures for sample preparation, apparatus setup, test execution, and data analysis to ensure consistency and comparability of results across laboratories and suppliers. Key equipment includes a universal testing […]
