Abstract
Consumer's ratings of overall textural quality during the initial biting and crushing of the cookie were influenced by stimulation to the senses generated from the total number of cracks for a given depth of needle penetration and the proportions of cracks low (0.03 to 0.05 N) and high (>1 N) in force, at least as strongly as by effects of 3-point break force. Spontaneous descriptions of the sensed effects of denting, breaking, and crushing the cookie, were less often discriminatively sensitive to the fracture dynamics than was overall texture. Thus, penetrometry provides effective measures for consumer-discriminated texture quality of cookies.
