There are several tests for dairy products using TVT-300XP. These can be used to predict the perception of the product of the consumer and to evaluate a change in the recipe for example.
Typical tests
| Consistency | e.g. yoghurt, mayonnaise, soft cheese, cream, mousse |
| Spreadability | e.g. butter, fats |
| Firmness/Hardness | e.g. cheese, butter, ice cream |
| Extensibility/Stretchability/Elasticity | e.g. cheese |
| Fracturability | e.g. cheese |
| Gel strength | e.g. gelled desserts |
| Adhesiveness/Stickiness | |
| Cutting force | e.g. cheese, butter |
| Stability | e.g. milk foam, whipped desserts |
| Work softening | e.g. butter, fats |

| Cylinder probe Can be used for consistency determination. A small cylinder probe can be used to measure the firmness of ice cream e.g. |
Conical probe Can be used for the spreadability of products. |
Spherical probe Can be used to determine the firmness of cheeses and the spreadablility of products. This is a gentle form of deformation. |
