Textural properties of bakery products are most often
measured, because of the strong correlation between crumb firmness
and quality and consumer acceptance. Carson and Sun (2001)
studied six types of bread and showed the existence of a strong
correlation between the instrumental results (cohesiveness,
springiness, adhesiveness) and those sensory analysis. The sensory
evaluation development is a lengthy and costly for manufacturers,
which strongly encourages correlation studies instrumentalsensory.
They would provide simple instrumental measurements
for the prediction of sensory descriptors.
