As can be seen from analysis of data obtained cutting force varies directly<br />

with changes in cutting speed, that at high cutting speeds are required high<br />

cutting forces. If shred strawberries (we used baked strawberry-sized) found<br />

that the highest values of cutting force were recorded for cutting speed of 40<br />

mm/s, the cutting force decreased gradually with decreasing cutting speed.<br />

As with other types of material and bananas have used the same cutting<br />

speed, thus observing that due to their homogeneous structure cutting force<br />

varies directly with the cutting speed. In case of Turkish delight shred highest<br />

values of cutting forces were obtained for small cutting speeds, this being due to<br />

the relatively homogeneous composition of these materials.<br />
