Food Texture AACC Cylinder Probes
TMS AACC Cylinder Probes
Standardised aluminium cylinders developed by the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) for the measurement of breadcrumb and other bakery products. These compression probes have smooth radiused edges to their contact faces to avoid penetrating the surface of the test sample.
The dimensions of this probe also makes it a useful general purpose accessory for performing back extrusion tests on semi-solids in their own containers.
