| Research Abstract |
In tube feeding enteral nutrition on dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) patients has a risk of complications such as diarrhea and/or aspiration due to gastroesophageal reflux. As a solution, "semi-solidified nutrition (thickeners and/or coagulant add into enteral nutrient)" have been provided at the clinical field. In this study, we evaluated the physical and rheological properties of self-prepared semi-solidified nutrition for the purpose of feedback to the clinical care and rehabilitation.
As a result, we found that the physical and rheological properties of the self-prepared semi-solidified enteral nutrient changed drastically by the synergetic / antagonistic action of polysaccharide thickeners and minerals, contained in the both enteral nutrient and coagulants.
