- So far texture of foods is judge by human sense of mouth feel.
- The human sense is very important criteria but is has big problem.
- Definition is not clear and feeling differs from person to person. Texture Tester TEX-100 can visualize the fuzzy mouth feel with “numeric value” so that you can make objective judgment of the texture.
- For example, if you are manufacturer or server of the foods for children and elderly people, it is very important to check safety hardness for swallowing of such foods.
- Food Texture Tester TEX-100N can be used for researching the food texture that affect to palatability for developing food and for checking as if the food for dysphagia satisfies the criteria.
- It will be a good support for the quality control and inspection in the fields of food manufacturing processes
