This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Shortometer

Shortometer option is correct.

Objective texture evaluation of baked products relies on instruments that measure a specific mechanical attribute of the food matrix. Cookies, pastries and short crusts are judged primarily by their breaking strength or shortness, which reflects the crispness–crumbliness balance produced by fat shortening the gluten network.

The Shortometer measures the force required to snap a baked biscuit or pastry across two fixed supports and is the standard laboratory tool for cookies and short pastries. A tintometer measures colour, a rheometer measures flow/viscoelasticity of doughs and semi-solids, and a viscometer measures liquid viscosity — none evaluates the snap texture of a finished baked product.
