  • Publication number: 20220354143
    Abstract: A solid food is a solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powder, in which in a case where a drop test in which the solid food is dropped onto a drop face is repeated until the solid food is broken, the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when a dropping energy density per unit fracture stress EF is 2×10?4 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is 3 times or more, the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when EF is 1×10?4 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is 10 times or more, and the number of times of dropping leading to breakage when EF is 5×10?5 [(J/m2)/(N/m2)] is more than 30 times, EF being obtained by dividing a dropping energy density in the drop test by a fracture stress of the solid food.
