Description : A Texture Analyser is a scientific instrument used to measure the physical (textural) properties of foods and other materials — such as hardness, chewiness, crispness, stickiness, elasticity, and cohesiveness. It helps quantify what consumers perceive as “texture” when they bite, chew, or press a food product. Applications 1. Food Industry: Quality control of bakery, dairy, meat, fruit, snack, and confectionery products. 2. Product Development: Optimizing texture for consumer acceptability (e.g., creamy yogurt, crunchy chips). 3. Postharvest Studies: Measuring firmness of fruits and vegetables during ripening and storage. 4. Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: Testing gel strength, tablet hardness, or cream consistency.

Usage Rate: (as indicated by the custodian/host institution)
