The WARBURTONS DOUGH STICKINESS SYSTEM (A/WDS500 or A/WDS1000) features a sample testing box into which dough samples (of either 500g or 1Kg) can be placed quickly and with minimum exposure of the cut surface to the atmosphere.
A retaining plate is placed on top of the dough, applying slight compression to the sample.
A narrow blade is driven through a slot in the retaining plate, to a defined distance.
Texture is an important attribute in that it affects processing and handling, influences habits, and affects shelf-life and consumer acceptance of products.
Texture analysis is the mechanical testing of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, adhesives and other consumer products in order to measure their physical properties.
Because of its adaptability, texture analysis has become commonplace in many industries to measure a specific or range of characteristics or properties relating to the way a material behaves, breaks, flows, sticks, bends, etc.
The OTTAWA CELL (A/OTC) is comprised of a square section test cell and loose fitting plunger.
Test samples, which include fruit, vegetables and pulses, are extruded through an extrusion plate located in the base of the cell.
Extrusion plates feature holes, wire, blades or bars, to suit the sample and are supplied separately.
It’s not all about the manufacture and provision of traditional bakery products any more. No longer do bakeries stick to the common array of Danish pastries, scones, doughnuts and muffins.
Recently bakery manufacturers have started to get creative in order to gain a competitive advantage by provision of new and exciting products. Consumers constantly have the need to try new and enticing flavours and textures.
In some locations in the world they are prepared to stand in a long line in order to obtain these new merging sweet hybrid experiences.
The TORTILLA/PASTRY BURST RIG (HDP/TPB) has been developed to perform
extension and elasticity measurements on laminated pastry and tortilla
dough.
It can also provide secure and rapid location for many types of thin or
sheeted samples. The rig consists of two plates that can be bolted
together with the sample sandwiched between. The plates have holes
through their centres which expose a circular section of the sample
allowing a 1" Spherical probe to be pushed through.
Breakfast cereals and snack foods such as tortilla chips, potato crisps, corn puffs and prawn crackers have many features in common, both in their manufacturing processes and in their product characteristics.
Many of these products are made from similar types of raw materials and tend to be processed as doughs at much higher temperatures than those used for conventional baked products.
Although the final products in the breakfast cereal and snack food markets are distinctly different in their appearance, they all tend to have low residual moisture contents and similar brittle crispy textures.
The TABLET COATING ADHESION RIG (HDP/TCA) performs an important task in ensuring that changes to the composition of coatings do not adversely affect the efficacy of the medication.
Solid inclusions in the form of aluminium lakes of water-soluble dyes, opacifiers (for example, titanium dioxide), and various inorganic materials are often added to tablet film coatings to improve their appearance (for example, colour and opacity), barrier properties, and in some cases their film-forming characteristics.
Today’s skincare market is booming. According to recent statistics, the Global Skin Care Products industry revenue is forecast to reach an estimated $102.3 billion in 2018.
One category benefiting in particular is anti-ageing. With emphasis in the media on the importance of youthful-looking, radiant skin, there is a growing number of women looking for skincare products that will help reduce the signs of ageing.
Accordingly, this sector has seen a significant expansion in products claiming to tighten and firm the skin.
