The subjects were instructed to have the same kind of foods (rice and cookie) with differed color at a mouthful. We evaluated the function of bolus preparation in pharynx, using videoendoscopy. Cookie ; The bolus was high degrees of mixedness, grindability and cohesiveness despite of mastication manner.
