ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for continuously measuring the coagulation, gelation, denaturation or other related phase transition process of food components and related biomaterials utilizing a single sample by sensing the force generated by the sample during the coagulation, gelation, denaturation or other related phase transition process thereof. A force sensing device including a sample engaging probe is provided. As the phase transition of the sample progresses, the increasing solid phase of the gelled matrix surrounds the probe and results in a continuous increase in the pressure exerted by the matrix on the probe. This force is believed to correlate with the strength of the matrix as phase transition progresses. The increased force is then measured and recorded.
