Abstract
The effects of heating rate and sugar type and concentration on the values of frankfurter textural parameters at structural failure were evaluated by a torsion test and a two cycle uniaxial compression test. Structural failure tests indicated that heating rate and sugar concentration had major effects on shear stress; in addition to minor effects on true shear strain. In general, heating rate had a greater effect on stresses and strains than sugar. Torsion and compression tests yielded different values, however, trends due to treatment were similar. The method used for interpretation of texture profile analysis parameters from Instron force‐deformation curves had an effect on the statistical analysis results.A thermal scanning rheology monitor nondestructively measured rheological changes during thermal processing. During thermal processing, the major modulus of rigidity increase started at 58°C and the major decrease in energy loss occurred in the 40–60°C range. Unlike structural failure rheological properties, rigidity at 70°C was not affected by heating rate.
