Applications for confectionary

There are several tests for confectionary using TVT-300XP. These can be used to predict the perception of the candy of the consumer and to evaluate a change in the recipe for example.

Typical tests

Firmness/Hardness e.g. candy, chocolate, toffee, gelled confectionary
Flexibility e.g. chewing gum sticks
Fracturability/Break strength/Snapping force e.g. chocolat / cereal bars, candy sticks / canes, hard candy, ice coatings
Tensile strength/Extensibility e.g. confectionary sticks / ropes / leathers
Stickiness e.g. gummy candy, chewing gum, caramels, toffee, syrup
Gel strength e.g. gelled candy
Crispness e.g. coatings, dragees
Stringiness e.g. syrup, honey
Springiness e.g. gummy candies, marshmallows
