Extract

An apparatus is described for measuring the elastic and plastic deformations of cheese curd under a compressive load at the time when it is ready for cutting. A figure inversely proportional to shear modulus can be obtained with considerable accuracy, and is believed to serve as the best single criterion of “firmness” in deciding the optimum time to cut the curd.
