| Research Abstract |
Human eats foods of various size, shape, and consistencies. We adapt to those variables to permit oral food transport and swallowing by changing the texture with chewing. We studied the food texture after chewing and the pharyngeal transit time to know the relationship between the food texture and swallowing. The food texture on each food after chewing tended to be a certain value even if the food texture on each food before chewing was same.
