Springiness is related to the height that the food recovers during the time that elapses between the end of the first bite and the start of the second bite (Figure 1). Springiness is associated with freshness in a product with a high quality muffin having higher springiness values. Control rice muffin was significantly springier than any variation of teff muffins. There was no difference in the springiness of the various teff muffin variations when compared to each other. Similar results were also found when 10%, 20% and 30% of corn or tapioca starch was incorporated in gluten-free bread with no significant effect on springiness [20].
