Working Principle for Sponge Cake Texture Testing
The sponge cake sample is placed on the measurement table, and the probe applies force to the sample under predefined test conditions. The force generated during the test is recorded to quantitatively evaluate the textural properties of the cake.
The measurement data can be managed and analyzed to compare different cake formulations, evaluate the effects of baking or steaming time, and assess changes in texture over time. The results support quality evaluation, quality control (QC), and product research and development (R&D).
The equipment is easy to operate. Users simply select the food type to be measured on the touchscreen.

Equipment Used for Sponge Cake Texture Testing – IMADA FRTS Series Food Texture Analyzer
For sponge cake texture testing, IMADA uses the FRTS-50N Food Texture Analyzer to quantitatively evaluate the textural properties of samples based on measured force. The equipment can be combined with different probes and attachments to accommodate various food types and testing methods.
Simple Touchscreen Operation
Operators can select the food type or test standard on the touchscreen. The instrument then displays the recommended measurement conditions and the appropriate attachment. Preset test conditions can be modified and saved for future use.
Data Analysis and Comparison Using Graphs
Measurement data can be saved via USB and analyzed using the included software. The software displays force–displacement or force–time graphs, records data at a maximum rate of 1,000 Hz, and allows up to 5 graphs to be overlaid for result comparison.
Easy to Clean
The measurement area is constructed from stainless steel, while the sample table and tray can be removed for convenient cleaning after food testing.
