Texture is an important attribute that has to be analyzed in handling of food, because it affects processing, influences habits, and affects shelf-life and consumer acceptance of products.

The Texture Analysis has the following properties:

• You can define individual arm movement sequences at varios speeds and distances.
• The device has the ability to plug-in peripheral instruments to provide multi-channel data acquisition.
• High speed testing up to 400mm/s can be reached.
• Speed can alter in proportion to the instantaneous height of the samples used.
• A firmware can be downloaded by a quick and simple software interface so that new features can be added to enhance the instrument capabilities.
• All loadcells are factory calibrated and may also be calibrated with any weight up to the loadcell capacity installed in the equipment to provide optimum accuracy at the force range of specific interest to the user.
• Loadcell information such as capacity, calibration and serial numbers is stored within the loadcell and automatically detected upon installation.
• Developed in accordance with the FDA CFR21 Part 11 guidelines, this includes electronic record and signature management.
