Meanwhile, the almost universal usage of rice as a staple food makes it an obvious area for texture analysis testing, and the development of the Rice Extrusion Rig has been a typical response. This rig allows the determination of rice kernel resistance to extrusion after cooking according to ISO 11747.

A wide range of PASTA AND RICE PRODUCT test methods (including AACC and ISO Standards) is built into Exponent Texture Analyser software and will automatically load at the click of a button. We help make your testing quicker to access and the analysis of your product properties already prepared for you.

Typical measurements include: • AACC Standard Method 66-50.01 and 66.52.01 • ISO 11747 Rice Kernel Resistance • Firmness • Pasta/Rice Stickiness • Tensile Strength • Extensibility • Flexure •

When a test solution doesn’t exist we go ahead and develop it – the Triple Ring Cutting System, the Rice Extrusion Rig and Noodle Loop Tensile Rig are classic examples of our Community Registered Designs that provide new ways to measure pasta or rice texture.
