Food Texture Analyzer (Rheometer)

Rheometer is a tester that quantifies the texture (mechanical properties such as hardness, elasticity, and adhesion) of food. Texture is a key factor in creating good taste, just as potato chips that are soggy do not taste good. Numerical control of texture, such as crispiness and stickiness, can stabilize the taste and quality of food products. Demand for texture test is increasing, and we recognize it as a sign that consumers are becoming more sensitive to texture.

Recently, with the aging of the population worldwide, increasing number of food products are being measured for texture and hardness from the perspective of whether they are easy to chew even for elderly people with weakened masticatory skills. As a result, industry standards for ease of chewing, such as "food for people with dysphagia" and "universal design food," have emerged.

IMADA food texture testers are programmed for easy measurement in accordance with these standards.

In addition to the rheometer, we also offer a simple unit to manually measure food hardness.

IMADA rheometer is desktop and portable, making it easier to handle on site and less expensive to install than larger test machines. Despite its small size, it is capable of acquiring 1000 data per second and has a high accuracy of ±0.2% F.S., making it possible to perform precise food texture test. The recommended measurement method for each food is pre-installed, and the measurement method can be arranged, so you can instantly start texture test immediately after purchase without any difficult settings. Software for graphing the measured values is included, and by programming the test conditions, various parameters such as adhesion and stickiness can be obtained, making texture analysis easy.
