The TA-XT2i Texture Analyzer (Stable Micro Systems Ltd.,
Vienna Court, Surrey, UK) was used to measure the hardness
and crispness. The distance between two brackets was 2.7 cm.
The cutting probe (HDP-3PB) was passed through the prepared
lychee chip sample and the test parameters were set as follows:
2 mm/s of pre-speed and post-speed, 0.5 mm/s of test
speed and 20 g trigger. Crispness in the penetration test is the
state at which the sample fractures in an abrupt manner due to
the application of a relatively small force (the first peak force).
Eight samples were used in each treatment.
