Sensory and instrumental tests employed for characterizing the texture of texturized plant proteins and their combinations with meat are reviewed. This methodology has borrowed heavily from that evolved for meat and, similarly to the studies on meat, has emphasized two parameters: toughness/tenderness and juiciness. Although it appears that this two‐parameter approach may be adequate, multiple‐parameter instrumental testing should be continued in order to prouide a data bank for the selection of the most accurate, reproducible and simplest measurements. It is suggested that researchers working in the commodity areas should make fuller use of the texture methodology literature.
