Elasticity

Elasticity

A textural property. The ability of a material to return to its original shape when a deforming force is removed. Synonyms used in food quality are rubberiness and springiness. When very fresh fish is pressed with a finger, the finger indentation restores rapidly when the pressure is removed, that is, it is elastic; in a stale fish the indentation remains, that is, it is plastic, capable of flowing under pressure.
