Snack Food Texture Testing
With the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer

The TA.XT2i and the TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer are excellent instruments for quantifying crunchiness, crispness, brittleness, hardness, fracturability, shelf life, packaging effectiveness, and many other characteristics which are extremely important to the snack food industry.

We have hundreds of industrial and academic users in the snack food industry as well as a well-established library of snack food applications and test methods. The TA.XTPlus is extremely simple to use in an R&D setting or directly on a factory floor.

Texture Technologies and SMS have designed many custom probes designed for highlighting specific textural attributes snack products. Many of the parameters which can be quantified with the TA.XT2i Texture Analyzer and the Texture Expert, Texture Expert Exceed, and Exponent software programs are not quantifiable with alternative instruments.
