Added Mastication Sound Affects Food Texture and Pleasantness
When eating, specific sounds are generated depending on the food, thus strong associations between food and mastication-sound exist. In the present study, we investigated how the sound of chewing affects the perceived texture and pleasantness of food ...

Evaluation of the Chewing Pattern through an Electromyographic Device
Chewing is essential in regulating metabolism and initiating digestion. Various methods have been used to examine chewing, including analyzing chewing sounds and using piezoelectric sensors to detect muscle contractions.

New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
Objective parameters that could provide a basis for food texture selection for elderly or dysphagic patients have not been established. We, therefore, aimed to develop a precise method of measuring large particles (>2 mm in diameter) in a bolus and an ...

Beginning with the precept inculcated in every nursery, we are constantly admonished throughout life that thorough mastication is a prerequisite to health; while a rather recent school of thought contends that the whole process of bodily nutrition is markedly affected by the ...

Transverse dimension of the alveolar bone in different masticatory patterns
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate, through cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the transverse dimension of the alveolar bone in the posterior region of the maxilla and mandible in subjects with different patterns of mastication, comparing both

Differentiation of Feeding Behaviors Based on Masseter and Supra-Hyoid Muscle Activity
Older adults with disorders of mastication and swallowing are often fed soft foods such as jelly or puree. The texture of such semi-solid foods allows them to be squeezed between the tongue and palate rather than being chewed. However, it is difficult to
