A constant speed cone penetrometer was used to measure textural properties of a variety of foods. Apparent viscosity and yield value were calculated from the recorded relationships of penetrating force and depth. Good agreement was found between yield values determined by this method and those obtained with a constant weight cone penetrometer.
