There are several tests for pasta and rice using TVT-300XP. These can be used to predict the perception of the pasta and rice of the consumer, to evaluate a change in the recipe and to determine the stability during transportation for example.
Typical tests
| Firmness | |
| Flexibility | e.g. uncooked pasta |
| Strength | e.g. cooked and uncooked pasta |
| Tensile strength/extensibility | |
| Stickiness | |
| Cutting force |
Accessories

| Cylinder probe Can be used to determine the firmness and stickiness of pasta. |
Knife blade Can be used to measure the cutting force and firmness of the pasta. A device with multiply knifes can be used for firmness determination of pasta with different shapes, e.g. macaroni. A small blade is used for the standard method AACC 66-50. |
Three point bend rig Can be used to determine the fracturability and flexibility. |
