Background

Three brands of cookies and two brands of crackers are tested with the TA-92 three-point bend rig and the TA-25C Crunchiness to differentiate these products on firmness, brittleness, toughness, stiffness, and crunchiness. Since these tests mimic how the customer interacts with the product in different ways, the manufacture can use these tools to fine tune the product for consistency and consumer acceptance.
