THE PERCEPTION OF FOOD TEXTURE ‐ THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE BREAKDOWN PATH
Abstract
Many authors have drawn attention to the limitations of present texture testing methods. To a great extent this may be due to the assumption that the perception of the structural properties of foods is comprised of a series of single attributes. This philosophy may account for the failure of the single instrumental measurement as a reliable texture descriptor. The present paper emphasises that texture perception is a dynamic sensory monitor of changes made to a food by processes occurring in the mouth. A general three dimensional model applicable to foods is postulated with “Degree of Structure”, “Degree of Lubrication” and “Time” as its axes. As each food is changed in the mouth, it describes its own “Breakdown Path” throughout the three dimensions. This approach is seen as the start of a general hypothesis for the physics and psychophysics of mastication.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
