Objective Methodsof Food Analysis
Brookfield Viscometer
Measures the thickness, or viscosity, of liquid dispersions such as salad dressings.
A measure of liquid texture.

Compensating Polar Planimeter Measures the area of irregularly shaped
areas, for example the cross-sectional area of a loaf of bread, which may be related to loaf volume.
An indirect measure of texture.
Compressometer/ penetrometer
Measures compression of, or penetration into, a food sample.
Direct texture measurement.
Largely replaced by the texture analyzer in 45300 lab

Hydrometer
Measures solution density (specific gravity).
Indirect texture measurement.
Hydrometer
Instron Materials Tester
A very versatile machine that measurestexture in many different ways.
Can measure compression, withdrawal, extrusion, energy required to do a process, etc.
Not as user friendly as the TextureAnalyzer.
4
Jelmeter
Measures the rate of flow of pectin dispersions through a pipette.
As pectin concentration increases, rate of flow decreases.
An indirect measure of texture.
Linespread Apparatus
Measures the amount of spread of a flowable liquid under the influence of gravity.
A direct texture measurement.

pH Meter
Measures concentration of hydrogen ion in solution.
A measure of sourness
Also important to many chemical reactions that occur in food preparation, processing, or preservation.
pH Meter
Reflectance Meter
Measures color, hue, and the like.
A measure of appearance
Replaced in the 45300 lab by the Hunter colorimeter
6
Reflectance Meter
Refractometer
Measures the bending of light as it passes from air into another medium.
Can be used to measure the concentration of dissolved solids, for example the sugar concentration in a syrup. This would berelated to texture.
May also be used to measure the degree of hydrogenation in fats.

Seed Volume Apparatus
Measures volume, typically for baked goods such as bread, muffins, and cakes.
Related to texture.

Shear Press
Measures the force needed to cut through a particular food, such as meat or vegetables.
A direct texture measurement.

Shortometer
Measures the breaking strength of crisp baked goods such as cookies, pie crust, and crackers.
A direct texture measure.
Largely replaced by the texture analyzer in 45300 lab

Spectrophotometer
Measures the absorption of light by chemical compounds as a function of wavelength.
Related to appearance and color.
Spectrophotometer
Vernier Caliper
Provides an accurate measure of length.
An example of it’s use would be in measuring the percent sag of gels.
In this case, the measurement providesan indirect measure of texture.

RapidViscoAnalyzer
Measures the viscosity (thickness) as a function of time and temperature for dispersions of starch.
Provides very useful information about starch cooking characteristics.
A direct measure of texture.

Measures forces to cut, compress, puncture, etc.
A direct texture measurement.
Brookfield texture analyzer
Brookfield computerized viscometer Measures the thickness, or viscosity, of
liquid dispersions such as salad dressings.
A measure of liquid texture.

Brookfield computerized viscometer
Liquid chromatograph A form of column chromatography used in food
chemistry to separate, identify, and quantify compounds.
HPLC utilizes a column that holds chromatographic packing material
(stationary phase),
a pump that moves the mobile phase(s) through the column, and
a detector that shows the retention times of the molecules. Retention time varies depending on the interactions between the stationary phase, molecules being analyzed, and the solvent(s) used.
Liquid chromatograph
14
Gas chromatograph A gas chromatograph is an instrument for separating
chemicals in a complex sample.
A gas chromatograph uses a flow-through narrow tube known as the column, through which different chemical constituents of a sample pass in a gas stream (carrier gas, mobile phase) at different rates depending on their various chemical and physical properties and their interaction with a specific column material, called the stationary phase.
As the chemicals exit the end of the column, they are detected and identified. The function of the stationary phase in the column is to separate different components, causing each one to exit the column at a different time (it'sretention time).
Gas chromatograph
Chromatography simulation
Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC ) This instrument
measures heat flow during heating processes such as starch gelatinization, protein denaturation or fat crystal melting. Very useful for determining the thermal properties of various foods.

Food Rheology
Rheology -- the science of the deformation and flow of matter.
Rheos (Greek) -- to flow
Viscosity
Viscosity may be thought of as the internal friction of a fluid.
Shear stress = force applied over an area/area = F/A.
When stress is applied, this produces a shearing strain (movement).
Viscosity
Viscosity () is defined as the ratio of shear stress to the rate of change of strain.
If we let the rate of change of strain be represented by D, then
= (F/A)/D, or, solving for F
F = AD
16
Viscosity
Graphical representations of flow behavior typically plot F vs. D (or D vs. F, more properly shearing stress vs rate of shearing strain) and vs. D.
In experiments using the older model Brookfield viscometer, plot the spindle speed for D, plot the scale reading for F, and plot for .

C. I. E. System
X = amber filter measurement from the reflectance meter
Y = green filter measurement from the reflectance meter
Z = blue filter measurement from the reflectance meter
Then these values are transformed.
C. I. E. System
x = X/(X + Y + Z) y = Y/(X + Y + Z) z = Z/(X + Y + Z)
x is the dominant wavelength of the color (like Munsell hue)
y is the purity of the color (degree of saturation)
Y is used as the third parameter and represents lightness/darkness (value)
C. I. E. System
As an example, Blue lake green beans might have the following designations for x, y, and Y 0.376x0.428y0.1445Y
By reference to the C. I. E. color chart it is possible to see what this color is.
