| Research Abstract |
Four kinds of cooked rice with different ratios of amylose were studied toexamine the relationships between the physical properties and ease of eating. Assuming the dispersion characteristics of the bolus inside the mouth, these results will elucidate the ease of eating of cooked rice. The effects of the properties of oil and fats on the ease of swallowing mashed potato were examined to compare samples. The samples with added water and oil were evaluated to be significantly higher in their ease of swallowing than the samples with added solid fat. These results indicate the importance of ease of mixing with saliva in the process of chewing and of the state of oil and fats dispersed in the bolus to produce suitable swallowing characteristics for mashedpotato.
