TMS-Pro System texture analysis

Texture analysis using the Food Technology Corp TMS-Pro System makes possible precise, objective and repeatable measurements of the texture of food products.

Textural parameters such as firmness, stickiness and hardness are established numerically and graphically for ease of communication and comparison to product specifications. These characteristics are determined by measuring the resistive and reactive forces of product samples during the application of controlled stresses such as compression, shearing, extrusion, puncture, bending or other deformations according to the textural properties of interest.

With a capacity of 2500 N in compression and tension, the TMS-Pro can handle tough applications. The system comes complete with the Texture Lab Pro software package for Windows PCs and a 2500 N intelligent load cell. A full range of test cells, probes and fixtures is available.
