Principles of texture analysis and physical property testing

This section will be introductory: Texture analysis is the science of measuring the physical properties of materials – how they deform, flow, or break under applied forces. Using a Texture Analyser, these properties can be quantified objectively to assess product performance, quality, and consistency across a wide range of industries, from food and cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, packaging, and adhesives. A Texture Analyser operates by applying controlled forces/distances to a sample and recording its response. Depending on the test type and the probe/attachment used, it can replicate compression, penetration, cutting, extrusion, stretching, bending, or adhesive interactions, giving valuable insights into the material’s mechanical behaviour and in many cases imitating human interaction with a sample in real life.

This section will list the test types. Clicking on them will take the user to a separate page (individual pages for each test type). All the test types will be listed on the sidebar, and a breadcrumbs link will guide them back to the index page. Click here for an example of a test type page.

Do we want to include the "Understanding imitative, empirical and fundamental testing" section?

In this guide, you will learn about the physical characteristics your Texture Analyzer can measure.
