Textural qualities of seven different commercial frankfurters were measured using a compression/penetration test. Four plunger diameters and three penetration speeds were evaluated to select statistically optimum test conditions. A plunger with a 0.635 cm diameter and the penetration speed of 5.08 cm min ‐1 were chosen based on the lowest mean square error. The textural qualities, i.e. skin toughness, internal texture and surface layer firmness, were determined for each product. These measurements exhibited distinct relationships with the square of fat/protein ratio of the frankfurters. In addition, the area‐dependent and perimeter‐dependent coefficients were obtained.
