For testing tensile strength, a strand of cooked noodle
was wound two or three times around parallel rollers of
texture analyzer. The upper arm was set to travel apart
from the lower arm at a speed of 3.0 mm/s. The maximum
force (g) required to break the noodle strand gave an
indication of the sample resistance to the breakdown and
the distance (mm) in which the strand started to break
indicated the extensibility. The measurements were
repeated 10 times for each sample.
