Membrane deflection in inline drip emitters
… These membranes were placed in a fixture, and a texture analyzer fitted with a ball-end probe was used to measure the force exerted by the membrane at a given deflection. The results were compared to analytical models of the deflection of a simply-supported or clamped rectangular plate with a …

Relaxation of Dense Suspension
… decay upon flow cessation with a rheometer and a texture analyzer, and by capturing the spreading dynamics of suspension drops upon the cessation of vibrations with a permanent magnet shaker. We show that the dense suspensions relax with two distinct timescales, and that both of these timescales …

Effect of Modified Starch on Bake-Only Chicken Nuggets
… were noted in peak force measured by a texture analyzer, acoustic reading, and hardness and crispiness by a trained panel. However, the oxidized starch prepared from various sources did not added desirable characteristics over the control evaluated by the sensory panel. Overall the …

Relating structural properties to saltiness perception of model lipoproteic gels
… and textural properties were measured using a texture analyzer. A conductivity meter was used to measure the in vitro sodium release during the compression of the SLCs in water by a texture analyzer. Sensory evaluations were carried out on the SLCs with 1.5% NaCl. A quantitative descriptive …

Variable stiffness orthosis for gait normalization in patients with toe walking
… of the materials with a compression test using a texture analyzer. There was a significant decrease in muscle activity from the tip toe control with the foam orthosis for both feet and for all orthosis materials for the right foot. There was also a significant improvement in heel-to-ball force …

Investigating flavor quality and variances in F2 cucumber progenies using instrumental analysis
… conducted on the development of cucumber flavor (texture, taste, and aroma) through plant breeding methods. This study aimed to identify cucumber flavor compositions in 165 F2 progenies and compare the progenies to their parent fruits (W17633 and 9930q2-1) and a first-generation cucumber (F1-1). …

Protein and Fiber Fortification of White Pan Bread Using Food-Grade Distiller’s Dried Grains
… was tested using a Mixolab and a TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer. Bread was baked using a modified AACC straight dough process. Loaves were then analyzed for color, volume, density, internal crumb structure and texture profile. Sensory acceptance of breads was evaluated using a seven-point …

Effects of various salt purity levels on lipid oxidation and sensory characteristics of ground turkey and pork
… odor. Break strength was conducted using a Texture Analyzer and compared with salt soluble proteins (increasing salt concentrations) to evaluate protein extractability characteristics. Statistical analyses were conducted using the MIXED procedure of SAS within repeated measures over time …

Development of artificial eardrums using water-soluble chitosan and tissue engineering techniques
… at rupture point of scaffold were obtained by texture analyzer (Stable Micro Systems Ltd., London, England). 18 Sprague-Dawley rats (4weeks, 250-300g) were anesthetized by chloralhydrate (1g/ml, 10%dilution) and bilateral anterior half of drums were perforated by micropick under surgical …

Fundamental studies of sourdoughs fermented with Weissella cibaria and Lactobacillus plantarum: influence on baking characteristics, sensory profiles and in vitro starch digestibility of gluten-free breads
The application of sourdough can improve texture, structure, nutritional value, staling rate and shelf life of wheat and gluten-free breads. These quality improvements are associated with the formation of organic acids, exopolysaccharides (EPS), aroma or antifungal compounds. Initially, the …
