(Godalming, Surrey) has developed a method to evaluate spring in a loaf. Used in conjunction with the TA.XTPlus texture analyser, the Bread V Squeeze rig enables manufacturers to test the softness and springiness of both packaged and unpackaged loaves, ensuring their products meet consumer demands. This joins the firm’s range of texture analysis instruments, which can analyse bread toughness, dough stickiness and extensibility, and springiness of muffins, doughnuts and cakes.
