Instrumental and sensory evaluations on snack textures have been widely performed, but it is important to establish which tests and probes are more appropriate for describing the sensory attri- butes of texture, thereby ascertaining which objective test corre- lates best with the sensory perception of texture. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the texture profile of extruded snacks and determine the most appropriate instrumental test for correlations with sensory analyses on snack texture.
