Get rheology and texture measurements for your products

Rheology and texture play a critical role in the manufacturing, distribution, handling, and overall quality of products across diverse industries, including food and beverages, beauty and personal care, pharmaceuticals, pet food, and materials and ingredients. Rheological and texture testing provides valuable insights for product developers and manufacturers, helping to evaluate formulation performance, processing behavior, and end-user experience. These measurements are essential for assessing the effects of changes in raw materials or packaging (such as cost-reduction strategies or supplier variations), guiding new product development, establishing correlations with sensory perception, monitoring product stability over shelf life, and supporting the integration of novel or functional ingredients. Applications range from beverages, sauces, dairy, meat alternatives, and confections to creams, gels, shampoos, oral suspensions, pet nutrition products, and complex material systems like emulsifiers, thickeners, and packaging films.
