Pasta Tension Strength Test
To measure pasta's tension strength, IMADA's dedicated noodle grips and texture analyzer could be a good solution. Chuck the pasta by 2pcs of the grips, pull the pasta until it breaks, then the texture analyzer records the maximum force value (peak value). Test results can be graphed for analysis of the relationship between cooking time and tension characteristic using the included software. It is used for evaluation of texture in quality control and R&D.

Shearing Test of Cheese
In this video, shearing test of cheese is performed by a texture analyzer with a wire-cutter attachment. The measuring conditions for solid cheese are already preinstalled in the texture analyzer so this test is easily conducted just by selecting the sample name. The texture analyzer can evaluate force values (cut force) at certain displacements since the displacement is reset to zero when the attachment touches a sample. This measurement is performed for evaluation of texture in quality control and R&D.

Experiment on Tips for Whipping the Fresh Cream(Comparison by Beating Time)
The hardness of fresh cream whipped for different durations is measured and compared in this video. Our food texture analyzer makes a test program by setting up test conditions such as pushing depth and test speed, and conducts the test by inserting the probe into each cream. The graphs drawn by the included software allows the tester to easily understand hardness and adhesiveness of whipped cream. Graph overlay function of the software also helps the tester to compare the hardness of the whipped cream depending on whipping duration.
