Case study
Shear testing is a very popular and valuable test method applicable to food texture analysis.
This method applies slicing or 'shearing' to the product, which replicates the action of the front incisors when food is introduced into the mouth.
This test procedure also measures the sample’s shear resistance force when being cut by a knife, during preparation and serving - a good indication of toughness.
