New image analysis of large food particles can discriminate experimentally suppressed mastication [PDF]
, 2012 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 ...

Measurements of masticatory forces in the horse
Pferdeheilkunde Equine Medicine, 2006 There is a need for specific data on equine mastication in several fields: (1) In nutritional science, the disruption of the forage is crucial to sufficient energy uptake in the horse (Frape 1990). (2) In mandibular/oral surgery, knowledge about the motions of the jaws and about chewing forces is necessary for the development of techniques and ...
