Texture Analysis of Compressed Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For two-cycle compression, a CT3 texture analyzer (50 kg, Brookfield, USA) was used to measure the force-time curves as penetration profiles. The method for texture profile analysis was used as recommended in Brookfield's instruction manual. The texture analyzer was supplied with a load cell of 100 g and application software (Brookfield Texture PRO CT) [29 ]. Two successive compressions were carried out on each sample. The resulting force-time curves were developed for hardness, chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness. The accessory used for all measurements was a TA11/1000 (25.4 mm diameter cylinder probe, stainless steel, 10 g) probe. Each sample was tested two times at the test and a return speed of 1 mm/sec and a target depth of 2 mm. Trigger load was 1.0 g, the pretest speed was 2 mm/sec, and the data rate was 10 points/sec. Upon two compression cycles, the probe was automatically returned to the initial starting point and the texture analyzer was reset for the next test. All analyses were conducted at ambient temperature. The force-time deformation curves during compression and decompression cycles were obtained each time. The same textural properties were measured for all prepared samples. All results were expressed in a report with values automatically calculated by the analyzer's software [30 (link), 31 (link)].

Texturometric Analysis of Fermented Milk

The TPA test determined the texturometric profile using a CT3 Texture Analyzer (Brookfield, USA) with TexturePro CT (Brookfield, USA) software. The sample dimensions were cylinder 66 mm × 33.86 mm, and the temperature of the sample was 8°C. The test was performed using the acrylic probe TA 3/100 and the following settings: distance 15 mm, contact load 0.1 N, and measurement speed 1 mm/s [23 (link)]. In fermented milk, texture was examined in a total of 90 samples (15 × 6 = 90).

Instrumental Analysis of Smoked Fish Fillet

The method of Goulas and Kontominas [14 (link)] was followed to determine the weight loss of the fish fillets.
The odor intensity of the processed HDPS fillet was determined at a different smoking time intervals. The 5g sample was taken from different experimental groups, kept in a 50 mL conical tube, and covered with parafilm. Upon closing the lid, the odor intensity was measured instrumentally (XP-329, New Cosmos Electric Co. Ltd., Osaka, Japan) [23 (link)].
According to Mohibbullah et al. [16 (link)] and Chen et al. [24 (link)], the color of the surface of each HDPS sample was assessed numerically with an instrument of CM-700d, Konica Minolta (Tokyo, Japan).
The smoked sample from each group was taken for texture analysis using a Brookfield Texture Analyzer (Massachusetts, USA) and equipped with a software system connecting to the computer (Texture PRO CT, Middleboro, MA, USA). Data processing and collection were followed by the study of Ganesan & Benjakul [25 (link)].

Meat Texture Evaluation by Shear Force

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each sample was trimmed after aging (length × width × height of 60 mm × 30 mm × 30 mm), placed into a plastic bag, and cooked in a water bath at 80°C for 30 min. Subsequently, all samples were cooled in running water until their core temperature was below 30°C. Then, each sample was cut into slices with a length × width × height of 50 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm (the fibre axis was in the 50 mm direction). Afterwards, each sample was placed in a texture analyzer (CT‐3, TexturePro CT; Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc., USA) and tested by using a Warner–Bratzler V‐shaped shearing device with a crosshead speed of 1.5 mm/s. The shear force was recorded in newtons (N).

Texture Analysis of Dry Foams

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Brookfield Pro CT3 texture analyzer (AMETEK Brookfield) having a 50‐kg load cell and the Kramer shear cell was used to examine the texture of dry foams. The Kramer shear cell (KSC) with five blades was selected due to its ability to analyze multiparticle products. During the analysis, the dried samples were compressed, sheared, and extruded in a mixture of compression, shearing, and extrusion (Ozcelik, Ambros, et al., 2019 (link); Ozcelik, Heigl, et al., 2019 (link)). The weight of the sample tested was 10 g under the same condition in triplicate. Force versus time data were gathered using the test equipment's proprietary software Texture Pro CT (AMETEK Brookfield). The greatest peak force is given in terms of the sample's “hardness” (N).

The TPA test determined the texture profile using a CT3 Texture Analyzer (Brookfield AMETEK, Middleboro, MA, USA) with the Texture Pro CT (Brookfield AMETEK, Middleboro, MA, USA) software. Cheese samples were cut into cubes (20 × 20 × 20 mm) and stored at 10 °C ± 1 °C before testing. Penetration testing was carried out using a plastic plunger type TA3/100 (25.4 mm diameter) with the following settings: distance 15 mm, measurement speed 5 mm s−1, and contact load 1.00 N [83 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
