The LFRA has become an industrial standard—proven as a reliable, accurate, and cost-effective way to determine the textural properties of a variety of materials.

For example "how crisp is crisp" and "how firm is firm" taking the guesswork out of these using the CT3 load cell based texture analyser provides a digital readout to measure the properties and assist in consistent batch results.

Applications include the gelatin Bloom Test, determining the firmness of breads or sponges, and testing the spreadability of butter, sauces, creams, and cosmetics
