Shear compression cells were manufactured to have dimensions 0.75, 0.5 and 0.25% that of the standard cell and used to test a range of foods. Maximum force and energy increased nonlinearly with increasing cell size and sample weight. The results demonstrate that cells of various sizes are practical for testing foods. Friction in the cell is dependent on alignment of the cell components in the test machine. To obtain comparable readings the cell body must be oriented in the machine the same way for every test.
