MODULUS Ratio of stress divided by strain during the
rst compression cycle (e.g., the slope of the
force:deformationcurve).Itisrepresentativeof
sample rigidity.
RESULTS: LOW-FAT FAT-FREE
HARDNESS (g) 122 227
WORK (mJ) 1592.7 3199.9
ADHESION (mJ) -246.4 -522.6
ADHESIVE FORCE (g) -58 -112
CONCLUSIONS: Creaminess of samples was evaluated as a comparison between low-fat and
fat-free samples. This is a comparative measure between two samples, but
doesgivegoodindicationoftheeffectofformulationontheprotein:protein
network and resulting gel set. Such a test would be excellent both within the
Quality and Development environments, where product matching as well as
process control could be facilitated.
The modulus values are also considerably different where the higher values
forthefat-freefatproductdenotethermer,moreboundconsistencyofthe
product.
