The effect of moisture migration on the texture of tuna sandwiches was studied using panel and instrumental methods. Moisture migration from the spread to the bread was dependent on the percentage of water in the filling (r = 0.97). Moisture content affected the firmness and cohesiveness of the sandwiches, as measured by panel and instrumental methods. A correlation was found with firmness (r = 0.75) but not with cohesiveness.
