| Research Abstract |
This study investigated the physical properties, the sensory characteristics and the electromyography (EMG) of sol-gel mixed sample to observe how the difference in the gel characteristic and the ratio affect the ease of eating.The ease of swallowing of the samples was evaluated more difficult and the number and time of chews was measured more large number as solid hardness was harder. Sensory evaluation showed that old people was sensitive to hardness of sample than young people so it was important to measure the physical properties of solid forpreparing a safety meal.
