What is yield point?
The yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve where a material begins to deform plastically. Before this point, deformation is elastic and reversible. Beyond it, the material undergoes permanent change.

Applicators and dispensers
Applicators and dispensers are designed to provide uniform coverage of semi-solids, liquids and viscous matter such as creams and lotions. They are often integrated with the product's packaging so that the packaging also acts as a dispenser.

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.
