We have a partnership with Food Technology Corporation (FTC), a leading manufacturer of food texture analysers.
Why measure food texture?
For over 40 years, FTC has been a leading manufacturer of texture testing systems for the food industry. These texture measurement systems used in conjunction with food fixtures are able to mimic the actions of a consumer when eating food.
Traditionally subjective opinions provided by taste panels can now be turned into objective food texture characteristic measurements, where manufacturers can easily assess whether a product is too chewy, hard or brittle etc, saving both time and money.
What does FTC offer?
- Texture analysers that are affordable alternatives to higher-priced systems
- High texture measurement force testing up to 250kgf
- Comprehensive range of test fiixtures
- 40 years experience working solely within the food texture industry
- 2 year warranty
