Rice Texture AnalyzerSoftware-controlled rice texture tester

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.
