3.2.4. Texture evaluation
As can be appreciated in Table 4, the freshly produced candies were easily penetrated (total penetration energy between 11.74 N mm and 27.39 N mm), suggesting a weak gel-structure. In addition, low peak force values (below 1.62 N) were also detected: the external layers of the candies did not offer a large resistance to probe penetration, as they were not yet completely formed in the fresh candy (t0). After dehydration at 50 _C for 23 h, F1 and F2 were 4e6 times higher than their counterparts at t0: the increased force required to punch the external layers indicated that the face and bottom of the candies were now formed. Moreover, a general shifting of all the penetration curves towards higher force values was clearly visible. A prolonged stabilization up to 26 h determined a further significant (P < 0.05) increase of the candies consistency.
