Texture evaluation
12 important questions on Texture evaluation
What are the functions of texture?
- Contrast or variety in a meal
- Indicator for food quality
- Identification of foods
- Satiety expectations (hoe dikker de structuur hoe vullender)
- Eating rate, intake (hoe vloeibaarder hoe meer je eet)
What is happening when using visual texture
- It is the first evaluation of texture
- Creating expectations
- Can influence oral texture perception
When are you using auditory texture, what are you detecting
- Crispiness, crunchiness and crackliness
- sound influences hedonic responses
- Negative: gritty sound of sandy spinach
- Positive: crips sounds of breakfast cereals
- Other: ripeness of watermelon by thumping
Increasing loudness and pitch causes higher crispy perception
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the difference in auditory texture between crispiness and crunchiness?
- Higher pitch
- Dry food
- More delict/light
- Short breakage duration
Crunchiness (appel)
- Lower pitch
- Moist/wet foods
- More solid thick
- Longer breakage duration
Tactile texture where are we looking at
- Oral texture perception (food)
- Mouthfeel characteristics
- static feelings
- rheological properties
- Dynamic phase changes
- ingestion (lips)
- biting (front teeth)
- chewing
- wetting and breakdown (saliva, enzymes)
- Deformation (tongue, palate)
- Bolus formation
- Manual texture perception
Oral texture perceptions is depending on
- Product specific
- high inter-individual variation in behaviour (age)
How do you measure texture perception?
- discrimination testing,
- ranking,
- (temporal) descriptive profilling,
- QDA
- TEXTURE PROFILE METHOD
The texture profile method
Uses a standardised vocabulary, with clear definitions.
What is the aim of sensory-instrumental texture correlations?
What are the two instrumental texture methods?
- Insteon Unicersal Testing Machine:
- Uniaxial compression tests
- Texture profile analyser (TPA)
What does the uniaxial compression test do?
De machine boots de beweging in de mond na.
Textural characteristics die onderzocht kunnen worden zijn
- Elesticity/stiffness
- strength of matrix
- brittleness
- firmness or hardness
- toughness
What does the texture profile analyser do?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
