美國(guó)FTC Food Technology Corporation  www.foodtechcorp.com
美國(guó)FTC在全球是食品物性分析儀器開發(fā)設(shè)計(jì)最為悠久的公司和研究機(jī)構(gòu)，成立于1963年，是最早制定嫩度標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的研究機(jī)構(gòu)，它具有深厚的技術(shù)背景，例如：被各同類儀器生產(chǎn)商普遍采用的“Kramer shear press and Kramer Shear Cell”（即多刀剪切探頭）便是以FTC創(chuàng)始人之一的Ahmed Kramer博士命名。FTC其產(chǎn)品符合各類行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，例：ASTM, BS, ISO and DIN等等，在全球有大量的用戶采用FTC的產(chǎn)品。 

TMS-PRO食品物性分析儀（質(zhì)構(gòu)儀）是美國(guó)FTC公司針對(duì)研究機(jī)構(gòu)推出的專業(yè)研究級(jí)食品物性分析系統(tǒng)，其產(chǎn)品可分析食品的嫩度、硬度、脆性、粘性、彈性、咀嚼性、拉伸強(qiáng)度、撕裂強(qiáng)度、抗壓強(qiáng)度、穿透強(qiáng)度、疲勞強(qiáng)度、游離水分等等。通過專業(yè)的分析軟件可獲得剪切曲線、擠壓變形破裂曲線、應(yīng)力松弛曲線、彈性率松弛曲線、延展曲線、疲勞強(qiáng)度曲線、嚙合剝離曲線、速度同應(yīng)力變化關(guān)系曲線等，而且用戶完全可以依據(jù)自己的需求設(shè)計(jì)實(shí)驗(yàn)?zāi)Ｐ瞳@得相應(yīng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)?zāi)Ｐ颓€。 

可供選擇的附件（感應(yīng)元、探頭、夾具和樣品臺(tái)等）有300多個(gè)，并且它具有良好的擴(kuò)展性，可依據(jù)客戶需求設(shè)計(jì)配備特殊附件以備分析之用。

Food Technology Corporation (FTC) was formed in 1966 by Dr. Ahmed Kramer, Dr. B.A. Twigg, and General Kinetics Incorporated following the acquisition of ALLO Inc. and the rights to the Kramer Shear Press. The company was chartered to develop products for the food industry and over the years FTC produced many diverse lines including optical inspection systems for apple sauce and plastics, tomato harvesters and tomato brine sorters.
 
 
 
The food texture testing line has always been at the heart of the company. In 1997 Food Technology's management purchased the company from General Kinetics. FTC is now privately owned and is managed by a team that has been with the company for almost 25 years. From research and quality assurance, to the production floor and the grower’s field, FTC systems are relied upon each and every day to provide essential quality information to the food industry.
 
 
Our philosophy has always been to understand the needs and challenges of our customers first and foremost. We never propose any system, accessory or piece of equipment unless it is assured to meet the customer’s requirement and expectations.
 
FTC has been the leading supplier of food texture measurement systems since 1966 for many reasons but the mainly – because they WORK! Combine that with the legendary quality built into every FTC product, unequalled customer service and the decision becomes very clear.
