    Abstract:

    The bionic chewing equipment and parodontium were designed by bionic technology and two stages, a signal amplifying circuit was made, the testing software was developed by Visual C++, and then the bionic food texture analyzer was set up. Apples and carrots were measured by using this texture analyzer and the corresponding experiments were done and results were contrasted with those from panelists and the universal food texture analyzer. Pearson correlation coefficients showed that test values of the bionic food texture analyzer and sensory evaluation had a good relationship, the correlation coefficients with apple’s hardness, crunchiness were 0.970, 0.904, and with carrot’s hardness, crunchiness were 0.961, 0.971. The data are better than the coefficients from the universal food texture analyzer and sensory evaluation.
