Fundamentals of Food Texture Analysis
The primary goal for using instrumentation to measure texture is to capture an objective value to something that is typically evaluated very subjectively. Texture cannot be controlled unless it measured in a consistent and repeatable manner.

Webinar: Adhesion/Peel strength testing
There is a reason people reach for duct tape as a fix for almost everything – adhesion strength.
From busted pipes to ripped furniture, the preference for a solution that “does not easily peel off” is the guiding principle for manufacturers.
