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.

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.
