Texture Profile AnalysisA closer look at this popularway of characterising thestructure of foods
TPA - The History • General Foods texturometer developed • Force/time plot became known as a texture profile • Szczesniak defined specific terms which correlated well with sensory panel scores - texture profile analysis • 7 parameters were listed; 5 measured and 2 calculated
TPA - The History • Malcolm Bourne adapted the Instron to perform TPA and parameters were slightly modified
TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) • Known as the “two bite test” • Provides textural parameters which correlate well withsensory evaluation parameters
TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) FIRST BITE • Known as the “two bite test” • Provides textural parameters which correlate well withsensory evaluation parameters FORCE TIME
TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) SECOND BITE • Known as the “two bite test” • Provides textural parameters which correlate well withsensory evaluation parameters FORCE TIME

TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Force Stringiness o Time
Note Defined as the distance that the product is extended during de- compression before separating from the probe. Not an original TPA parameter and is not included in the TPA analysis macro at this point. TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Force Stringiness o Time
TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Springiness Force o Time
Definition The height that the food recovers during the time that elapses between the end of the first cycle and the start of the second cycle. TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Springiness Force o Time

TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Work of Adhesion Force o Time Adhesivness
Definition The negative area for the first compression cycle - representing the work needed to overcome the attractive forces between the surfaces of the probe and the food. TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Work of Adhesion Force o Time
Definition The maximum negative force of the first compression cycle TPA (TEXTURE PROFILE ANALYSIS) Analysis of the data Force o Time Adhesivness
Resilience • Not an original TPA parameter. • Developed from looking closely at elastic recovery • A measurement of how the sample recovers from deformation. • Ratio of the first UP ( decompression) stroke to the first DOWN ( compression) stroke
Initial Modulus • Not an original Texture Profile Analysis parameter • Developed from looking closer at curve before fracture • Initial Modulus = Initial Stress / Initial Strain • Initial Stress:taken as mean force from 0.5 -1.5secs and then dividing by the Contact Area • Initial Strain:calculated at the 1.5 second point
