“…The elderly, in particular, have higher protein needs than younger adults (Bauer et al, ; Deutz et al, ), and their oral physiology is commonly impaired (Peyron, Woda, Bourdiol, & Hennequin, ; Vandenberghe‐Descamps et al, ). In cereal foods, these changes impact the food bolus properties during chewing, mainly the viscosity (Assad‐Bustillos et al, ; Assad‐Bustillos, Tournier, Septier, Della Valle, & Feron, ; Assad‐Bustillos, ), which can be considered as a good indicator of the bolus degree of structure. The latter may affect, in turn, the protein digestibility and bioavailability (Rémond et al, ).…”
