The textural characterisation of the jellies was made by using the empirical technique of Texture-Profile Analysis (TPA) that allows the evaluation of the following parameters fracturability, hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness. 

The cohesiveness that represents the work required to overcome the internal bonds of the sample (jelly) shows an increase with the pectin content of jelly and there are no apparent differences between the two types of pectin considered (Figure 2). Similar behaviour was observed for springiness (elasticity) which is given by the time that the material spends to recover its non-deformed condition after the first bite (Figure 2). 

The evaluation of two other parameters results from simple arithmetics gumminess is the product of hardness x cohesiveness and chewiness is given by the product of hardness x cohesiveness x springiness. 

The results obtained for the analysed jellies are shown in Figure 3. As one would expect, both parameters increase with pectin concentrations as it was likewise observed with hardness, cohesiveness and springiness.

The candlelight is waxy yellow on his face, picking out the jet in his hair and eyes. He is small and alive, and his hair under my hand is rough and springy, like heather on a hillside where you might lie under a summer sun. But what of my boy—my Ned—my son ...

Flow on top of the reinforcement is also mainly a preforming problem, and the best solution is to increase the fiber volume fraction or to use a more springy reinforcement where the problem is most pronounced. A decrease in injection pressure can also be a way to reduce the problem.
