Fig. 1 – Texture analyser - TA.HDPlus.<br />

To determine the characteristics of texture, the "Texture Exponent"<br />

covers a wide range of probes and cutting devices (needles, knives of various<br />

shapes). To achieve experience was used probe HDP/BSK (with blade knife set)<br />

which has the classical form of knife which is suitable for shred<strong>din</strong>g to cutting<br />

of food products with soft textures.<br />

Food materials studied were: curdled cheese, strawberries, peeled<br />

bananas and Turkish delight. For analyzing the crack propagation for soft<br />

textured materials studied on texture analyzer was used different values of<br />

speed range: 40 mm/s, 10 mm/s and 5 mm/s.<br />

In Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 is presented the variation of cutting force while the<br />

textured soft food shred<strong>din</strong>g materials studied for different values of cutting<br />

speed.<br />
