TEXTURE DESCRIPTION –VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS
Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary
SoftnessForce required to compress the bread with hands,
between the molars, or between tongue and palate
Force required to compress the bread crumb or the
complete baked product till certain deformationSoft - hard
Resilience of baked product
Speed and degree (springiness) at which the baked
product returns to its original shape after
deformation
Percentage of the deformation energy used by the
baked product to partially return to its original
shape
Resilient - not resilient,
"mémoire élastique "
Resilience of the crumb
Speed and degree (springiness) at which the crumb
returns to its original shape after deformation
Force used by the crumb after 20 seconds with
certain deformation
Resilient - not resilient,
"mémoire élastique ", elastic,
not elastic
CohesivenessDegree to which the baked crumb holds together
when rubbing or folding, crumbliness
Ratio between "energy" of the second bite to
"energy" of the first bite, Cohesive - crumbly
Moistness
Moist or cold feeling with fingers, hands, lips,
palate ad month of the baked product (crumb and
crust), adherence of the crumb to the fingers and
more to the palate upon chewing (stickiness)
Aw, % H2O, NMR, not always effective; force to
loosen probe from product surface after applying a
fixed deformation
Moist, sticky - dry
Short biteReflects the force to break a sample and the force
to masticate to a consistency ready to swallowingWork necessary to break the bread in two pieces Short - chewy
MeltingReflects the time and the easiness a bolus of bread
can be swallowed. Favored by sufficient initial
moistness followed by short bite
NAMelting - not melting (ball
formation, too dry, chewy)

• Firmness– F1 = force of probe to crumb necessary
to obtain the fixed deformation– firmness = F 1
• Elasticity– F20s = force of crumb to probe after 20s
at fixed deformation– elasticity = F 20s / F 1 *100 = RR 1
• Stickiness– Fs = negative force = force needed to
loosen probe from product surface– stickiness = F s

TEXTURE MAPPING
“What’s your Texture?”
![Page 16: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CONSUMER UNDERSTANDING:
WHAT TEXTURE IS PREFERRED?
Conclusion: the prefered texture for white bread in San Francisco is characterized by more
melting, moist, open but sticky crumb and a minimum of resilience to it. Breads that are dry and
crumbly are not go zone. Softness is less of defining feature.

CONCLUSIONS: TEXTURE & FLAVOR
• Essential to develop a common language
– To understand one another and avoid
misunderstandings
– To speed up the development process
• Value in having mapping tool
– To better visualize the current situation
(texture & flavor)
– To easily understand the exact goal to achieve
• Use Texture and Flavor to differentiate

Why Measure the Color of
Baked Goods?
• Indicator of overall product quality
• Indicator of process variation
• Helps ensures brand consistency
• Visual methods of specifying color are subjective
• Measuring color using an instrument gives objective results
![Page 30: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Applications Challenge
The color of baked products is difficult to
measure because:
• Curved surfaces and irregularly shapes
• Color can vary on edges versus center
• Lightness/darkness is often key parameter
in consumer acceptance – but color can
vary as well
• Current color measurement techniques do
not always reproduce how eye sees color

Traditional Methods
Color is typically evaluated by:
1. Visual assessment
2. Simple Colorimeter
3. Camera / defect monitor
![Page 33: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Where is Color Typically
Measured?
• Incoming QC of raw materials
• In-process inspection
• QC finished product
• Color is measured:

Baking Contrast Units (BCU)
Baking Contrast scale:
• Quantifies lightness of baked, crust,
crumb and similar applications
• Helps eliminate the human subjectivity
• BCU can be applied to monitor
browning in any baked product
![Page 36: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Baking Contrast Units (BCU)
BCU = log (Y/2.5)
• Y = CIE Tristimulus Y value
• The BCU range ranges from
0.00 BCU (darkest)
5.25 BCU (lightest)
• A difference of 0.1 BCU units is
estimated to be a visual difference

How is Color Also Described,
Communicated?
• Tristimulus color scales
• Not by words, but numbers, specifications,
and tolerances
• Tristimulus scales describe:
• Lightness/Darkness
• Hue
• Chroma

Tristimulus Color Scales
• The most widely used
color scale is L,a,b
• Hunter L,a,b
• CIE L,a,b (L*a*b*)
• Color difference scale most

Applications Challenge (cont.)
The color of baked products is difficult to
measure because:
• Curved surfaces and irregularly shapes
• Color can vary on edges versus center
• Lightness/darkness is often key parameter
in consumer acceptance – but color can
vary as well
• Current color measurement techniques do
not always reproduce how eye sees color

Best Practices - Application
• Illuminate the product
circumferentially
• Average 2-4 measurements
• Measure large sample area
• Sealed optics to prevent
contaminants
• Bench-top or portable technology

Establishing a Specification /
Best Practices
There are two levels of color difference:
• Minimum perceptible difference – can
you see any difference?
• Maximum acceptable difference – is
the difference too significant?
Most baking manufacturers are
concerned about the maximum
acceptable difference
![Page 51: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Establishing a Specification /
Best Practices
• Each product family should have its own
standard and target specification
• Each product family should have its own
tolerances
• Tolerances can/should be different for
each product
![Page 52: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Establishing a Specification /
Best Practices
• YOU define the color quality relationship
• The measurement system
• Customer acceptance parameters
• Raw material inspection
• Process variables and variation
• Business considerations
• Internal systems may be tighter
![Page 53: DEVELOPING A COMMON LANGUAGE TO DESCRIBE THE …TEXTURE DESCRIPTION – VOCABULARY AND DEFINITIONS Sensory Instrumental Vocabulary Softness Force required to compress the bread with](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050420/5f8f636f46a3e6543401d065/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Establishing a Specification /
Best Practices
• Choose samples that are representative
of the product and manufacturing
• Prepare samples the same way each
time
• Present the samples to the instrument
in a repeatable manner
• Make multiple preparations of the
sample and average measurements
