Figure 3:
A typical TPA plot to determine textural attributes using Textural Analyzer (A). Texture Analysis of Strawberry Puree (B). Hardness (g): the peak force of the first compression of the product. Adhesiveness: force * time travelled by plunger in the second compression. Cohesiveness: measured as the area of work during the second compression divided by the area of work during the first compression. (Area 2/Area 1). Gumminess: Hardness *Cohesiveness (g/mm2), Chewiness: Gumminess*Springiness (g.s).
