How to Use This Calculator

Enter peak force for cycle 1 and cycle 2 in Newtons from your texture analyzer.
Set the area under the curve for each cycle (N·mm), compression and recovery distances, adhesive area, and sample height.
The calculator computes hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness, adhesiveness, resilience, and compression strain.
Compare computed TPA parameters against reference standards for your product category to assess texture consistency.
