What is texture analysis?
Texture analysis is primarily concerned with the evaluation
of mechanical characteristics where a material is subjected
to a controlled force from which a deformation curve of its
response is generated. These mechanical characteristics in
food can be further sub-divided into primary and secondary
sensory characteristics which have proven to be correlated
to sensory perception.
Primary Characteristics
PARAMETER
SENSORIAL DEFINITION
INSTRUMENTAL DEFINITION
HARDNESS
Force required to compress a food between molars.
Defined as force necessary to attain given deformation.
Rate at which a deformed material goes back to its undeformed
condition after deforming force is removed.
Peak force of the first compression cycle.
SPRINGINESS
ADHESIVENESS
COHESIVENESS
The work necessary to overcome the attractive forces between
the surface of the food and the surface of other materials with
which the food comes into contact (e.g. tongue, teeth, palate).
Work required to pull food away from a surface.
The strength of internal bonds making up the body of the
product (greater the value the greater the cohesiveness)
Height that the food recovers during the
time that elapses between the end of the
first bite and the start of the second bite.
The negative area for the first bite,
representing the work necessary to pull
compressing probe away from sample.
The ratio of positive force during the second
to that of the first compression cycle
(downward strokes only)
Secondary Characteristics
PARAMETER
SENSORIAL DEFINITION
INSTRUMENTAL DEFINITION
BRITTLENESS
(Fracture force)
Force at which a material fractures. Related to the primary
parameters of hardness and cohesiveness, where brittle
materials have low cohesiveness. Not all foods fracture and
thus value may relate to hardness if only single peak is present.
Brittle foods are never adhesive.
Energy required to disintegrate a SEMI-SOLID food product to a state
ready for swallowing. Related to foods with low hardness levels.
Energy required to chew a SOLID food product to a state
where it is ready for swallowing. attribute is difficult to
quantify precisely due to complexities of mastication
(shear, compression, tearing and penetration).
The first significant break in the first
compression cycle.
GUMMINESS
CHEWINESS
Calculated parameter:
Product of Hardness x Cohesiveness
Calculated Parameter:
Product of Gumminess x Springiness
(essentially primary parameters of
Hardness x Cohesiveness x Springiness)
*Parameters utilized in determining the manner in which a food handles and behaves in the mouth.

Why measure texture?
Consumer products succeed in the marketplace in part
because their “textural characteristics” are pleasing to
customers. This is certainly true with food products but it also
applies to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, packaging, industrial
materials and even adhesive type materials.

Brookfield Engineering is recognized around the world
as offering high quality measurement instruments at an
affordable price. Unsurpassed customer support is but one
more reason to choose a Brookfield product when you are
considering a viscometer, rheometer, texture analyzer or a
powder flow tester.
The Brookfield Texture Department can also provide customers
with complete texture assessment service. We specialize in
the development of novel and innovative test applications
and accessories for solid and semi-solid materials, enabling
our customers to maximize the practical value of their texture
studies within all test environments.
The CT3 Texture Analyzer utilizes uni-axial compression and
tension forces in combination with a selection from our list
of probes, grips and fixtures to test a wide variety of food,
personal care products and industrial materials. Most tests
desire to imitate conditions imposed on these products
during manufacture, handling, and consumption or use.
Characterizing the physical properties of your products in
such an analytical manner provides “real life” insight and can
be invaluable toward maintaining consistent, high quality
manufacturing while minimizing cost.
Brookfield’s compact design of the CT3 has a long heritage
of more than 20 years dating from the Stevens gelatin bloom
tester. The CT3 still contains the Bloom test method and we
offer the complete gelatin bath preparation system along with
industry approved Bloom bottles.

Brookfield now offers a complete bath system for processing

system complies with GMIA and GME gelatin processing
requirements, and the Brookfield Bloom bottles are
recognized by both organizations.
