PRODUCT DETAILS

Measure a multitude of textures from raw ingredients to finished product.

The pasta industry faces many innovative challenges driven by increasing consumer demand for premium products, health properties and an interest in more adventurous food. The development of wholegrain, gluten-free and fortified pasta in a multitude of shapes and sizes holds the potential to increase market share.

Quality control methods with objective test equipment, such as the TA.XTplus Texture Analyser, are available to monitor the effect of ingredient quality and processing methods on cooked and uncooked product texture. We have developed a wide range of texture evaluation methods for use in near-line production or in R&D. The break strength and flexure of dried pasta and the tensile strength, firmness and stickiness of cooked pasta are typical examples of tests that have been developed for use as practical, fast and cost-effective quality control tools.

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.

Light Knife Blade

The standard AACC (66-50.01) Pasta Firmness blade.

Pasta Firmness / Stickiness Rig

Used to measure the firmness and stickiness of cooked pasta.

Spaghetti Flexure Rig

This rig measures the compression and flexure characteristics of uncooked spaghetti.

Spaghetti / Noodle Tensile Rig

Used to perform break strength and elasticity measurements on both noodle and spaghetti samples.

Kramer Shear Cell

This rig performs a bulk compression / shearing test, particularly useful when trying to assess the firmness of cooked pasta shapes.

Mini Kramer / Ottowa Cell

Particularly suited to reduce the force of bulk shearing/compression of multi particle products.

Noodle Loop Tensile Rig and Cutter

This rig allows preparation of sheeted pasta/noodles for subsequent measurement of extensibility and tensile strength

Rice Extrusion Rig

Used to determine rice kernel resistance to extrusion after cooking according to ISO standard 11747.



Triple Ring Cutting System

This attachment allows bulk firmness testing of thin, brittle, wavy or irregular noodles which can otherwise not be tested in single/multiple strand noodle methods.

Asian Noodle Rig Buğday

For firmness assessment of Asian Noodles according to the Wheat Marketing Center method.
