The most commonly used test to determine the texture in laboratories around the world are the methods which use testing or strength testing machines with appropriate instrumentation.The most frequently used measurement sensors
are Warner-Bratzler blade (WB) and the Kramer cell. The principle of the methods is based on thesimulation of chewing food products. The first idea of cutting test, conducted using samples of cooked meat, was developed in 1920 by Kenneth
F. Warner and colleagues to measure the fragility. The method using a Warner-Bratzler’s blade was developed in 1932 by Lyman J. Bratzler and since the 1950’s it is widely used to determine the tenderness of meat products,fish and cakes.
U.S. scientists, through multicenter studies, created a definite procedure to deal with samples and pointed the test conditions, so that the WB test conducted in accordance with the protocol allows for direct comparison. This method
applied in case of meat samples, require flat,V-shaped blade (thickness of 0.04 inches, the angle of the blade 60º, the speed of the working element 200–500 mm/min) (Fig. 1). In addition, the sample should be characterized by diameter
of half an inch and be conducted with the cutting blade configured perpendicularly to the direction of muscle fibres
