Presents a comprehensive update on the science of eating, drinking, and sensory perception Understanding how food is consumed, broken down, and perceived in the mouth is central to the study of sensory science and the development of healthier, more appealing food products. Food Oral Processing: Fundamentals of Eating and Sensory Perception provides an authoritative and fully updated exploration of the physics, physiology, and psychology of oral processing. With international interest in food texture, flavor release, and nutrition at an all-time high, this authoritative resource brings together essential foundations with the latest research advances in the field. The second edition of Food Oral Processing significantly expands upon its predecessor, featuring 37 chapters that address both revised and emerging areas of inquiry. In addition to in-depth discussion of mastication, swallowing, and oral rheology, the book explores new developments in mass transfer mechanisms of aroma and taste compounds, food-saliva interactions, and oral lubrication. Entirely new chapters address topics such as the unique oral processing dynamics of infants, school children, and the elderly, as well as current insights from neuroscience on the central and peripheral processing of food texture and flavor perception. Integrating direct applications for product innovation, nutritional design, and public health throughout, Food Oral Processing: Links oral processing research to sensory science, nutrition, and product developmentExamines food-saliva interactions and their role in flavor release and texture perceptionExplores the neuroscience of oral processing, including neural pathways of texture and taste perceptionCovers advanced techniques such as mastication simulator, EMG, fMRI and etc for in vitro and in situ oral processing studiesProvides insights into designing plant-based and reduced-fat foods for enhanced eating experiencesFood Oral Processing: Fundamentals of Eating and Sensory Perception, Second Edition, remains an essential reference for food scientists, sensory researchers, oral biologists, and dental researchers. It is also ideal for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses in food science, nutrition, sensory perception, and oral physiology

This volume provides an overview of the latest research findings on the physics, physiology, and psychology of food oral consumption, as well as the experimental techniques available for food oral studies. Coverage includes the main physical and physiological functionalities of the mouth; the location and functionalities of various oral receptors; the main sequences of eating and drinking, and the concomitant food disintegration and destabilisation. Chapters also explain oral processing and its relation to flavour release and texture perception, and there is an introduction to the principles of food rheology as they relate to eating. Food Oral Processing is directed at food scientists and technologists in industry and academia, especially those involved in sensory science and new product development. It will also be of interest to oral physiologists, oral biologists and dentists. The book will be a useful reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students of these disciplines.

Modifying Food Texture, Volume 1: Novel Ingredients and Processing Techniques discusses texture as an important aspect of consumer food acceptance and preference, and the fact that specific consumer groups, including infants, the elderly, and dysphagia patients require texture-modified foods.

Topics covered include ingredients and processing techniques used in texture modification of foods, an overview of food texture issues, the novel use of processing techniques for texture modification, and the uses of food ingredients in texture-modified foods.

Discusses texture as an important aspect of consumer food acceptance and preference Presents findings and tactics that address the special needs of infants, the elderly, and dysphagia patients Topics covered include ingredients and processing techniques used in texture modification of foods, along with an overview of food texture issues, amongst others

Modifying Food Texture, Volume 2: Sensory Analysis, Consumer Requirements and Preferences explores texture as an important aspect of consumer food acceptance and preference, specifically addressing the food textural needs of infants, the elderly, and dysphagia patients.

This volume covers the sensory analysis of texture-modified foods, taking an in-depth look at the product development needs of consumers and exploring the sensory analysis of food texture and the development of texture-modified foods.

Explores texture as an important aspect of consumer food acceptance and preference Addresses the food textural needs of special groups, including infants, the elderly, and dysphagia patients Takes an in-depth look at the product development needs of consumers, exploring the sensory analysis of food texture

This is the first book for some years that provides a comprehensive overview of food oral processing. It includes fundamental chapters at the beginning of each section to aid the understanding of the later more specific oral processing chapters. The field is rapidly developing, and the systems researched in the context of food oral processing become increasingly complex and therefore the fundamental sections include information on how to build complex food systems.The main coverage includes the biomechanics of swallowing, the biophysics of mouthfeel and texture as well as the biochemistry of flavours and how food microstructures can be manipulated. It contains up-to-date research findings, looking at consumer preferences and the response to these preferences by food process technologists and those developing new foods. The book will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers in academia and industry who may be from very diverse backgrounds ranging from food process engineers to functional food developers and professionals concerned with swallowing and taste disorders.

The concept behind this book is to take a holistic view of food texture, starting with the determination of food texture, its perception in the mouth, and its measurement by both sensory and instrumental methods, and to examine the relation between them.
