| Research Abstract |
Texture control of foods is important in the development of nutritional products for the elderly. This study analyzed relationships among mechanical properties of foods, textural attributes, and mastication parameters that may change during oral processing. Four topics are studied ;(1) physical, physiological and psychophysical analyses of cheese texture,(2) comparison of slurping and chewing of buckwheat noodles,(3) swallowing behavior for various foods, and(4) problems in the standards of foods for patients with swallowing difficulties(started in 2009).
