For the purpose of showing “Asi” or the jelly strength of “Kamaboko”, a kind of fish cake, we designed by the way of experiment an apparatus with which the strain for a piece of fish-cake is measured when it is ruptured by stretching in the constant rate of load.
Seventeen sorts of fish cakes gathered from several countries were used for experiment with. that instrument and the relations among strain L, stress F and jelly-strength X were observed. The result is as follows:
X=4.28•logF+9.10•logL+0.02
