I. INTRODUCTION

The CT3 Texture Analyzer is the most recent development of the original Boucher Jelly Tester. The

original product was created as the Stevens Texturemeter and evolved into the CNS Farnell LFRA TA

(Leatherhead Food Research Association Texture Analyzer). Brookfield first enhanced the design of

the LFRA, maintaining the characteristics of the original equipment, while expanding its measurement

capabilities and ease of use by incorporating modern digital technology.
The CT3 Texture Analyzer is the third generation of this venerable product, adding tension testing

capability, increased load cell options, space for large samples, two options for base tables and a wider

range of accessories for more flexibility. The main objective is to characterize your samples in a way

that best represents their perception by human senses. This is the essence of texture analysis.
The principle of operation of the CT3 Texture Analyzer is to subject a sample to controlled forces in

compression using a probe, or in tension using grips. The resistance of the material to these forces is

measured by a calibrated load cell and shown in either grams or Newtons. These forces are a function

of the properties of the sample and the parameters of the test method.
There are seven load cell ranges available for the CT3 Texture Analyzer offered by Brookfield:
