EXPLANATION
Maturity Indices, Harvesting, Textural Proper
- Classification of Food Texture Attributes (Szczesniak, 1963):
- Mechanical Textural Attributes: Quantify the physical response of a food to applied forces:
- Crunchiness (B): Acoustic and fracturability response related to the sudden failure and brittle fracture of cellular turgor under compressive stress.
- Cohesiveness (C): The degree to which a food mass can be deformed before it ruptures.
- Geometrical/Mouthfeel Attributes: Mealiness (A) and Grittiness (D) reflect particle size, shape, and moisture distribution rather than force responses.
- Correct Option: Option 3 ((B) and (C) only).
