Food Analyzers & Testers

A texture analyzer is a device used to measure the physical properties of food, such as its hardness, chewiness, and other textural characteristics. It assesses how solid and semi-solid food products respond to forces like compression or tension, providing valuable insights into their texture. This is essential for the food industry, as it helps determine how foods feel during chewing, how flavors and nutrients are released during eating, and how ingredients behave throughout processing and preparation.

The food industry uses texture analysis as a critical component of its research and development process. For example, companies that produce meat substitutes using plant-based proteins study the ingredients to make sure their products come as close as possible to the taste and mouthfeel of actual meat.

IMADA is proud to provide the industry with a wide range of food testers and analyzers that measure specific textural qualities in food as well as other metrics. Our lineup of instruments for the food and beverage industry also include testers for measuring the force needed to open a wine bottle or crack an egg or the torque to remove a cap from a beverage or container for example.

These automated food testers are designed for clean, smooth trouble-free operation. Food texture analyzers automatically test firmness, elasticity or viscosity using a load cell combined with programmable movement control. The menu screens greatly simplify configuration and testing Select from a list of food standards or use programmable mode to configure a custom test. The USB port streams 1,000 force data/second to the Force Data Analysis Software (included). Egg Shell Strength Tester is designed to automatically measure the strength of egg shells. The tester cracks the egg, then stops and backs off, displays the peak value and simultaneously sends it to memory and the USB port.
