Evaluation by Compression Testing of Bulk Dry Cooking Lentils
16 Jul 2015Compression testing is a common method in food testing for measuring the force required for sample failure, with a high force characterizing a hard sample, as it is important to fully understand the properties of a food item when considering packaging and shipping. In this application note, the hardness of cooked dry lentils was measured using the CT3 Texture Analyzer from Brookfield Engineering.
