The texture of rice is vital to how the consumer perceives the quality of the product.

The Mecmesin Rice Texture Analyzer is a bench-top, software-controlled instrument to measure the sensory mouthfeel of cooked rice and other foods.

Fitted with a Kramer compression-shear fixture, the system replicates the natural bite and chewing action and the results correlate to the established Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) parameters which define mouthfeel.

VectorPro software controls the Texture Analyzer to apply the forces on the test sample, acquires the data and automatically calculates the results which correlate to the correct sensory qualities. Peak forces, average forces, work can all be calculated from the graphical results  to indicate the essential texture quality attributes of the food. Attributes such as hardness, stickiness, adhesiveness can be measured and compared to the ideal values, compared to other batches of supplied rice to optimise the cook profile of the product.

Example applications

The Kramer Shear Cell tests rice in bulk to replicate bite and chew mouthfeel
Each test in each batch is clear shown in the results screen of VectorPro
Rice batch sample and thin-blade shear cell fixture for firmness testing
Kramer thin-blade Shear Cell fitted to the interchangeable fixture base plate
VectorPro will indicate peak values for firmness and other characteristics for the graphical data
The ISO Hardness value can be returned from selecting the constant resistance plateau of the curve
The sensory characteristic of stickiness is calculated from the return stroke of the shear cell
VectorPro Texture Profile Analysis result calculation options include graph areas which can represent adhesiveness
