Hardness (maximum force during the first compression) and adhesiveness (negative area after the first compression) of cooked samples (in OCT) were evaluated using a TA‐XT plus texture analyzer (Stable Micro System), equipped with a stainless steel cylindrical probe (diameter: 75 mm). The conditions of analysis were as follows: load cell = 10 kg, test speed, and post‐test speed: 1 mm/s; distance: 50 mm in compression mode; time: 1 s. Contact force = 5 g. Hardness was defined as the maximum compression force (g) during the testing process of the sample (Petitot, Boyer, Minier, & Micard, 2010).
