The implementation of other instrumental measurements,
such as dynamic rheological analysis, is difficult in factories due to the complexity and difficulty in reproducing the drying phenomena that occur in jellies inside starch beds. Sensory assessment could be applied for this purpose; however, texture evaluation by quantitative descriptive analysis requires that a sufficient number of trained panelists be available and data repeatability and standardization are difficult. In contrast, TPA
provides objective criteria based on mechanical properties and
permits the holding time of gummy jellies in drying rooms to be optimized.
