1. An apparatus for quantitative texture attribute measurement of a liquid, the apparatus comprising:

  • a housing;

    a laser generator attached to the housing;

    an acoustic capturing device proximally located to the housing;

    a data processing unit in communication with at least the acoustic capturing device;

    wherein a laser from the laser generator is directed to strike the liquid to create an arc impacting a surface of the container, and thereby producing an acoustic signal from vibration of the impacted surface of the container to be detected by the acoustic capturing device;

    wherein the data processing unit is configured to quantitatively measure the texture attribute of the liquid based on input from the acoustic capturing device generated based on said detected acoustic signal.
