Texture Analysers
Objective texture analysis for food, pharmaceutical and material testing.
Texture is one of the most important quality attributes influencing product performance and user experience. Whether evaluating the firmness of food, the hardness of pharmaceutical tablets or the mechanical behaviour of advanced materials, objective texture measurements provide valuable insights that go beyond visual inspection or sensory evaluation.
Brookfield Texture Analysers measure the physical properties of products by simulating real-world forces such as compression, tension, penetration and bending. The result is repeatable, quantitative data that supports research, product development and quality control.
BlueScientific supplies the complete range of Brookfield texture analysers across the north of the UK.
We support laboratories in research, quality control and manufacturing with expert application advice, demonstrations and technical support.
Typical Applications
Food & Beverage
Develop and optimise product texture, mouthfeel and processing behaviour while ensuring consistent quality throughout production. Texture analysis helps evaluate properties such as firmness, crispness, chewiness, spreadability, fracture and gel strength for a wide range of food products.
Pharmaceuticals
Perform objective mechanical testing to support formulation development, quality control and regulatory compliance. Texture analysis provides repeatable measurements of tablet hardness, gel consistency, capsule strength and packaging performance.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Characterise the texture, consistency and application performance of cosmetic formulations to ensure a high-quality user experience and batch-to-batch consistency. Texture analysis supports product development by measuring properties such as firmness, spreadability, adhesion and stickiness.
Materials
Evaluate the mechanical behaviour, strength, flexibility and durability of engineered materials during product development and quality control. Texture analysis helps compare formulations, assess material performance and validate manufacturing consistency.
