1 Texture Profile Analysis A closer look at this popular way of characterising the structure of foods

2 TPA - The History General Foods texturometer developed
Force/time plot became known as a texture profile Szczesniak defined specific terms which correlated well with sensory panel scores - texture profile analysis 7 parameters were listed; 5 measured and 2 calculated

3 Texture Technologies Shimadzu Instron Gardco

4 TPA - The History Malcolm Bourne adapted the Instron to perform TPA and parameters were slightly modified

5 TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS)
Known as the “two bite test” Provides textural parameters which correlate well with sensory evaluation parameters I’ll now move onto TPA (or Texture Profile Analysis) which is a common test and uses the principles of compression. It is known as an imatative test as it attempts to imitate the action of the jaw by compressing the sample piece twice in a reciprocating motion and for this reason it is often called the “Two Bite Test”. This point indicates the beginning of the first compression and here is the beginning of the second compression cycle. The force-time curve obtained from this then provides the user with a number of textural parameters that are known to correlate well with sensory evaluation parameters. A typical curve may look similar to this one here.

8 TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS)
Movement of the Probe Force Here is a diagram of the procedure in more detail. From this you can see that on the first compression (or bite) the hardness is determined as the height of the peak force. For samples which are quite brittle the force is seen to have a significant peak in the curve on the first bite which is not present in, for instance, the testing of gels. On the upstroke of the compression probe the force is released and an adhesive value may be obtained depending on the degree of adhesion (or stickiness) of the sample to the probe, for instance in some gels. The distance over which this adhesion takes place is an indication of the stringiness of the product (for instance chewing gum would possess a greater degree of stringiness than would a sample of cream cheese. The springiness (or elasticity) is obtained on the second bite within the duration of the downstroke and gives an indication of the elastic recovery of the sample. Several other textural parameters can also be obtained such as gumminess, chewiness and cohesivess which are calculated from data using the following inbuilt formulae. All of these values are obtained in less than a second by the pressing of two buttons as soon as the test is finished, so you can see that it is a useful test and provides textural values without need for calculations (and actually makes people think you’ve done a lot of work). o Time
