<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relative evaluation method by pattern recognition of hardness, mouthfeel and texture of food, capable of accurately recognizing the difference of the hardness, mouthfeel and texture quality of the food when masticating the food and easily, highly accurately and statistically making discrimination. <P>SOLUTION: After a food sample is pressurized by a plunger and a load and a distortion rate during pressurization are continuously measured at the same time, measurement results of the corresponding loads are extracted for the respective distortion rates at an arbitrary fixed interval, a plurality of acquired load values are integrated for the respective distortion rates, and by dividing an obtained integrated value by the number of times of measurement, a load average value for the respective distortion rates is calculated and an average value curve is prepared. A difference of a corrected average value curve for which the average value curve is corrected is integrated, and by using the obtained integrated value, the difference of the hardness, the mouthfeel and the texture between food samples is evaluated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
