Compression force and relaxation properties of radially compressed carrot samples were determined as a function of the cortex moisture content. The compression force at 10% deformation increased with an increase in the moisture content. The compression force at 86% moisture was almost ten times greater than the value at the 76% level. Similar trends were observed for part of the visco‐elastic coefficients.
