Creating typical jagged-force-deformation relationships from the irregular and irreproducible compression data of crunchy foods

The irregular jagged force-deformation relationships of two snacks stored at nine levels of relative humidity were used to create typical-averaged relationships by a special mathematical procedure developed on the basis of the statistical properties of random sequences.

Summary:The irregular jagged force-deformation relationships of two snacks stored at nine levels of relative humidity were used to create typical-averaged relationships by a special mathematical procedure developed on the basis of the statistical properties of random sequences. The typical force deformation relationships so created were practically indistinguishable from the original experimental ones from which they were derived. In principle, they can be used to identify conditions where textural changes take place and to establish criteria for textual classification of samples by visual comparison.
