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 |
