Texture Analysis in action: the Dough Preparation Set




Dough Preparation Set componentsThe DOUGH PREPARATION SET (A/DP) is used to measure the characteristics of biscuit dough. 

The set comprises a test cell, aeration plunger and a flattening plunger. 

A sample is placed in the cell, pockets of randomly distributed air are removed by the spiked aeration plunger, and an even surface is achieved by application of the flattening plunger. 

A 6mm cylinder probe is used to measure the consistency of the dough.
