Determining chewing efficiency using a solid test food and considering all phases of mastication
Objectives: Following chewing a solid food, the median particle size, X50, is determined after N chewing cycles, by curve-fitting of the particle size distribution. Reduction of X50 with N is traditionally followed from N ≥ 15–20 cycles when using the artificial test food Optosil®, because of initia...
