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.

What is the grab method?
The grab method is a tensile testing technique where only the centre of a fabric specimen is gripped during testing — typically using 100 mm × 150 mm test specimens with a 50 mm wide clamp
