Abstract: We briefly introduced the Texture Profile Analysis(TPA). And the textural parameters derived from TPA test were respectively explained in detail. We made TPA test on apple slices to investigate the influence of deformation rate and degree of compression on TPA test results. It concluded that deformation rate showed specific effect on the four textural parameters involved, but deformation degree had none.

Key words: TPA, texture, deformation rate, deformation degree
