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 […]
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 […]
The performance of a syringe is not only defined by its ability to hold and deliver medication but also by the force required to move the plunger. Plunger force testing is an essential quality control measure that ensures a syringe operates smoothly and consistently during injections. In this article, we will explore the significance of […]
Why Do We Need to Test Film Heat Seal Strength? The wide application of films across industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics highlights their importance in maintaining product safety and integrity. Packaging films rely on strong, consistent seals to prevent contamination, leakage, or product degradation.Heat seal strength is a critical parameter that determines the […]
In the world of surgical sutures, precision and safety are paramount. The ASTM F3014 standard plays a crucial role in ensuring that suture needles can penetrate tissue efficiently without causing unnecessary trauma. What is ASTM F3014? ASTM F3014 is a standard test method developed by ASTM International for measuring the penetration force of surgical suture needles. It […]
