| Title: | Fracture Testing of Cream Cracker Biscuits | Authors: | Gormley, T. R. (Thomas Ronan) | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/6897 | Date: | 1987 | Abstract: | A modified shear press fitted with a 70 × 3 mm perspex blade proved satisfactory for measuring the resistance to fracture of cream cracker biscuits. The results indicated that biscuit orientation in relation to the fracture edge had a bearing on the fracture force obtained. Tests on five commercial cream cracker brands showed statistically-significant different resistance to fracture between the brands and some packs also showed high within-pack variation in fracture resistance. Over-baked cream crackers were more resistant to fracture than under-baked ones. | Type of material: | Journal Article | Publisher: | Elsevier | Keywords: | Modified shear press;Fracture force;Fracture resistance | DOI: | 10.1016/0260-8774(87)90028-8 | Language: | en | Status of Item: | Peer reviewed |
