Juiciness is common trait of fruits, which is a critical factor in determining its acceptance among consumers. Other foods have similar desirable characteristics – i.e. succulence. This texture is effectively measured by compression using the FTC succulometer cell. The fixture squeezes the moisture from the food – juice, oils or other liquid components. The fixture comprises a heavy-duty cylindrical vessel to present the sample, usually as a bulk analysis, and a corresponding close-tolerance piston. The cylinder part of the fixture is fitted with a spout to allow free expressed moisture to be drained and so referenced as an indicator of the product’s succulence, by measurement of weight or volume. The cylinder has a diameter of 2-1/4 inches and is 3-1/8 inches high with a volume of 1.4 cubic inches. The plunger’s close-fitting dimensions ensure compression rather than extrusion. Applications Succulence of sweetcorn (bulk analysis) Juiciness of apples, pears, or other fruits Hydration of dried fruit slices Moistness of canned fish, tuna
