Скачать или смотреть Pea Harvesting and Maturity Testing with an FTC Tenderometer

Grading peas for tenderness is essential to optimise harvesting yield for consumer quality and financial return.

The TU Tenderometer (https://www.tenderometer.eu) is a texture analyser designed to measure pea TR tenderness at all stages in the production, processing and storage cycle—from field to fork—where grading checks are made.

Its simple operation and rugged build even allows this texture analysis to be performed right at the point of intake; essential in beating the 150 minute window to vine, transport, grade and freeze fresh seasonal vegetables.

See how Eyemouth Freezers Ltd take advantage of the tenderometer’s accurate TR measurement during pea harvesting season and how the instrument’s controlled, repeatable texture grading benefits everyone from grower to retailer, and of course, the customer.
