Common Test Methods
Principle, probe selection, data interpretation and FAQs are on each test action page.
TPA (Texture Profile Analysis)
One test returns hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and more — simulating human chewing.
Learn more →
Puncture Test
Measures puncture resistance — surface hardness, fracturability and gel strength.
Learn more →
Compression Test
Measures mechanical response under compressive load — for hardness and springiness.
Learn more →
Adhesion Test
Measures the peak force to separate a probe from the sample surface — rating stickiness.
Learn more →
Cutting / Shear Test
Mimics teeth cutting through food — measures maximum shear force and fracture behavior.
Learn more →
Tension / Extensibility Test
Pulls the sample vertically to measure extension and breaking force — extensibility and tensile strength.
