What is wing tear testing (Winkelmann/Graves method)?
Wing tear testing is a tensile-based method for flexible materials, in which a wing-shaped specimen is subjected to a controlled force until it tears.

Why is the trapezoidal tear test important?
Tear resistance is a critical measure of a material’s durability, particularly in applications where the material may be subject to punctures, cuts, or repeated stress.

What is compression texture testing?
Compression texture testing is a method used to determine how a food product responds when force is applied. It measures properties such as firmness, consistency, and deformability by pressing into the sample with a controlled load.
