GST-01 Jelly Gel Strength Tester

Gel strength tester can detect the texture properties of jelly and other materials and analyze the taste of jelly. It is an essential testing instrument in the food industry.

Application

Gel strength can be defined as a measure of the ability of a colloidal dispersion to develop and retain a gel form based on its resistance to shear.

Bloom is the specific measure for the gel strength/firmness of the gelatin. The Bloom values are determined by measuring the force (in g) required to depress the surface of a 6.67% gelatin gel (after gelling 16-18 hours at 10°C) to a distance of 4 mm. So, the higher the value, the stronger the firmness of the gel.The Bloom in grams is measured by a specified probe to depress the surface of gel.

Test Items

WEIGHT: To measure distance at a certain load
PEAK: To measure gel strength
DISTANCE: To measure load at a certain distance
