title: TEXTURE OF CARROTS.
abstract: Shear and compression strengths of individual carrots were measured with the Instron Universal Testing Machine. Compression correlated highly, but shear poorly, with sensory hardness as judged by compressing and flexing. The study confirmed the usefullness of the coefficient of compression in predicting textural quality of carrots.
