Texture 1. Mechanical Measurements Hardness – The force required to obtain a given deformation. Cohesiveness – Strength of the bonds which holds a food together. Adhesiveness – Attraction to another surface Fracturability - Ease with which something shatters Viscosity – Rate of flow per unit of force or time

Texture 1. Mechanical Measurements Viscosity – Rate of flow per unit of force or time. Gumminess – Denseness that persists through-out chewing. Springness – Ease or time takes to return to original height Chewiness – Length of time in seconds required to masticate a sample at the rate of one chew per second
