Abstract
In this study, the relations between the well-like sensory properties, crispness and firmness, of wax apple (Syzygium samarangense) and the texture properties were investigated by using double-bite tests. The strains of wax apples used in this study are Black Pearl and Tubtimchan. By comparing the sensory judgment and the TPA test results, the sensory judgment of crispness could be related to the TPA parameter fracturability. The wax apple with higher fracturability is considered to be crispier. However the sensory judgment of firmness cannot be direct correlated to any single TPA parameter. The sensory feeling of firmness could be related to the difference between hardness and fracturability.
