Optimization for mango texture profile analysis and characterization of texture to different maturaity of mango

Texture analyzer was used to texture profile analysis of mango pulp,and the influence of different test parameter such as compression ratio,test direction,test speed on the results of different maturity of mango pulp was explored. The results showed that the compression ratio,test direction,test speed could result in varying degrees of impact to the outcome. The TPA texture properties of mango pulp could be characterized preferably when the test parameter was selected as the peel facing the probe,pre and after test speed was 1 mm / s and the compression ratio was 20% ~ 30%. Hardness,coherence,and chewiness dropt rapidly while springiness had no obvious change with the increase of maturity of the mango sample,adhesiveness of maturity level 2 was the highest.Low maturity of mango pulp had better correlation among texture parameters,hardness and chewiness showed a significant positive correlation,while high maturity of mango pulp had no significant correlation with texture parameters.The study provided a good reference for the mango pulp texture analysis.
