Background

In this application study the shear strength of rehydrated seaweed was analyzed with the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer, Exponent software, and the TA-93WSTM. The TA-93WSTM is a smaller version of the TA-93WST wire screen forward extrusion fixture to accommodate limited samples. A fixed weight of seaweed is loaded into the chamber, compressed and then ultimately sheared across a wire screen driven by a TA-11 1” diameter acrylic probe.
