Abstract This study aimed at examining the effects of sample specifications on results of determination of texture profile analysis (TPA) parameters (hardness, springiness, cohesiveness and resilience) of garlic pork sausages and chicken sausages. The height, diameter and diameter/height ratio of samples were identified as main factors that influence hardness, springiness and cohesiveness. No significant correlation was observed between sample specifications and resilience. The results of model fitting and analysis of variance indicated that only hardness allowed the establishment of an accurate fitted model.
