Why Texture Matters in Your Food Industry

In today’s competitive FMGC market, product quality extends beyond flavor and aroma. Your customers expect a consistent mouthfeel—whether it’s the crunch of a biscuit, the creaminess of yogurt, or the snap of a chocolate bar. A reliable food texture analyzer ensures you deliver that experience every time. When your batch-to-batch variation is reduced, you minimize waste, reduce the risk of recalls, and build lasting brand loyalty.

Meet the Imada Food Texture Analyzer

The Imada FRTS Series is a compact, desktop rheometer designed for your laboratory or production floor. As one of the most trusted texture measurement tools in the market, it captures up to 1,000 data points per second with ±0.2 % FS accuracy. This precision enables you to detect minute changes in hardness, adhesiveness, and springiness—vital parameters for leading FMCG brands.

Core Advantages You’ll Appreciate

1. Quantitative Texture Evaluation
   • Quantifies texture in force to evaluate the textural properties of food such as firmness, tackiness, cohesion, elasticity, etc.
     
2. Pre‑Installed Programs
   • With over a dozen built‑in methods for common food categories, you can run tests in seconds without programming skills.
     
3. Easy to perform
   • Easy to perform food measurements complying with the corresponding part of ISO, JIS, and more
4. Touch‑Screen Control
   • Simple operation by a touchscreen. Designed to combine a wide range of attachments (probes) to fit your test samples, and change them very easily. 

Your ROI: Measurable in Days, Not Months

• 30 % Faster R&D Cycles by running parallel texture tests.
  
• 20 % Reduction in Scrap through early detection of off‑spec batches.
  
• 100 % Traceability with digital logs and timestamped reports for audits.
  
• Improved Customer Satisfaction as you deliver a consistent texture that matches your brand promise.
  

Deep Dive: Applications Across Your Product Lines

Meats & Sausages

Whether you produce hot dogs, salami, or chicken nuggets, texture defines your product’s appeal. Use the wedge probe to:

• Quantify tenderness and crunch factor.
  
• Compare different fat-to-lean ratios.
  
• Validate process adjustments—like smoking time or curing temperature—through objective force measurements.
  

This ensures that each link or patty delivers the same satisfying chew.

Bakery & Confectionery

From flaky pastries to crisp cookies and chewy macarons, your baked goods depend on controlled texture. The blunt platen and three‑point bending fixtures allow you to:

• Test the pringiness of cake crumbs.
  
• Evaluate the break strength of chocolate bars.
  
• Monitor shear stress in dough formulations.
  

By overlaying test curves in the software, you can instantly see how small ingredient tweaks affect crunch or chew.

These insights let you standardize mouthfeel and prevent separation over time.

Setting Up the Imada Food Texture Analyzer in Your Lab
Getting started is straightforward:

1. Pre‑Installation Audit
   
   • Shraddha Impex verifies bench space, power requirements, and environmental controls.
     
2. Hardware Setup
   
   • The desktop unit arrives fully assembled. Your local technician mounts it on your benchtop and connects it to your PC.
     
3. Software Installation
   
   • Pre‑loaded software works on Windows. You can also install the optional data‑analysis package for advanced graphing.
     
4. Hands‑On Training

Integrating Texture Data into Your Quality Management System
To make the texture a core KPI, follow these steps:

1. Define Control Limits
   
   • Use historical data to set upper and lower bounds for each test.
     
2. Automate Alerts
   
   • Configure the software to notify you via email or dashboard if a result falls outside limits.
     
3. Trend Analysis
   
   • Export monthly reports to track drifts or seasonal effects.
     
4. Corrective Actions
   
   • Link alerts to SOPs so technicians know how to respond—adjust mixer settings or recalibrate probes.
     

By embedding texture checks in your daily operations, you shift from reactive fixes to proactive quality assurance.

Advanced Techniques: Beyond Basic Texture Testing
Once you’re comfortable with core tests, explore:

• Viscoelastic Profiling
  By programming cyclic compression, you can measure elastic recovery and hysteresis in gummy candies.
  
• Fracture Mechanics
  Use three‑point bending to study crack propagation in wafers and bars.
  
• Adhesion & Cohesion Mapping
  Customize probe speeds to mimic the mouth‑feel dynamics of creams and spreads.
  

These advanced modes help you innovate products that deliver novel textures and sensory experiences.
