The Challenge of Sugar Substitutes in Confectionery
A leading confectionery manufacturer sought to evaluate how replacing sugar with alternative sweeteners affected the texture of their chocolate-covered mint products. Subjective evaluations were insufficient; they required objective, data-driven analysis to compare hardness 그리고 brittleness between formulations. The goal was to ensure both regular and sugar-free products met strict quality control standards while maintaining consumer appeal.
Precision Testing with Advanced Texture Analysis Solutions
Cell Instruments’ TEX-01 텍스처 분석기 그리고 Three-Point Bend Fixture were deployed to perform controlled flexural tests. Key steps included:
- Automated height compensation to account for sample variations.
- Breaking samples at 500mm/min to measure peak force (hardness) and fracturability.
- Analyzing force-time graphs to quantify differences in coating firmness and filling resistance.
Significance for Quality Control Professionals
✅ Real-time data: Enables rapid adjustments during production.
✅ Reduced downtime: Early detection of texture deviations prevents batch failures.
✅ Formula optimization: Correlate sweetener ratios to texture attributes like brittleness 또는 break strength.
For quality control teams, Cell Instruments’ texture analysis solutions provide actionable insights to streamline manufacturing and uphold brand consistency.
