Against this background, a texture analyzer was used to perform rigidity tests on agar pearls with varying agar concentrations. The results suggest the independence of the bursting behavior from surrounding media and a significant dependency from loading speed and particle size.en0009-286X2018810731079Journal Article10.1002/cite.201800004Other
