ically focused on making the testing cell more quickly removable and replaceable between tests. After cooking, a sample of the rice is placed in the rigs testing cell. It is pushed down by a plunger of similar cross-section to the cell, compressing the rice and extruding it through holes in the base extrusion plate.
Resistance to extrusion is measured as the ease of pushing the cooked rice through the perforated plate using compression and shear. It is calculated automatically and recorded as m
