The spreadable butter sample exhibited the lowest hardness and <i>G</i>′, and highest spreadability (<i>p</i> < .05) at all temperatures, owing to its low solid fat content and the abundance of low-melting triglycerides.

Tactile sensitivity can be assessed using several methods, but each method measures different tactile dimensions. Further investigations are needed to confirm its correlation with texture sensitivity. In addition, measuring a single textural attribute may not provide an overall representation of texture sensitivity.
