“…Based on Table 1 1,38,40,43–45,58 and Table 2 56,57 , potentially acceptable food textures amongst the elderly and individuals suffering from dysphagia include soft, crumbly, and moist, smooth, tender, creamy, ease to form a bolus, ease to swallow or manipulate, cohesive, high tan δ (the ratio of the viscous/loss ( G ″) to elastic/storage response ( G ′) of a viscoelastic food material), high water holding capacity, low adhesiveness, low frictional co-efficient/high lubricity, and low fracture forces. Specific texture properties also depend on the food type (liquid or solid).…”
