Background

This study, the first in a series focused on meatballs, uses the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer and Exponent software to assess key metrics of interest across various meatball types using a cylinder probe. The study compares three different meatball varieties (beef, turkey, and soy) with metrics for stiffness, firmness, resilience and instant springback. The second study can be found here.
