Abstract

ABSTRACTTwo instrumental imitative methods simulating the manual operation of spreading were developed. Both methods make use of the Instron Machine: one is based on prototype cell (PSC) and the other involves the manual spreading of a known volume of product and recording of the force used. Various spreadable products were tested under different operating conditions. Results allow a clear differentiation among the tested products. Data obtained from the two methods show high correlations (significant at P < 0.05) with data obtained from penetration methods that make use of probe, plunger, and cone. The newly developed methods show, under most test conditions, high correlations (significant at P < 0.05) with sensory results.
