Zwick Roell offers you a wide range of devices for foodstuff testing. In the following, you will find further test devices from our portfolio:

For example the OTMS test device: This test simulates the chewing characteristic through compression and displacement of the specimen. The test device comes with different inserts for different foodstuffs, e.g. with perforations for cream cheese as it is shown in the picture on the right. A die compresses the specimen material through this insert. From the type of the recorded curve, parameters which indicate the crispiness, hardness, ripeness or the extrusion work can be taken .

With the Compression test device we simulate the stacking behavior of fruit. The test is also suitable for testing the freshness (aging behavior) of bread or fruit, cheese, fish and other comparable foodstuffs.

In a Penetration test the penetrator (a needle) is pushed into the specimen to a certain depth. With this test device the degree of ripeness in fruits and vegetables can be determined.

As shown in the picture on the right, the flexure strength of baked goods can also be determined with a 3-point flexure test kit, for example to show the crispness of a waffle.
