Abstract | A relationship has recently been suggested to exist between tongue pressure measured using balloon-type sensors and the tongue-crushable food range of individuals. This study was conducted to investigate the applicability of a balloon-type pressure sensor for texture evaluation of tongue-crushable soft foods. Six gellan gum gels were used as a soft food model. The fracture force and strain of gels were controlled at two and three levels by changing the gum concentration and acyl-group content, respectively. The pressure sensor was inserted between a food sample and texture analyzer probe, and pressure values during compression of gels were measured. During the compression test, both the food and tongue-pressure sensor were deformed, eventually leading to fracture of food gels. Using the tongue-pressure sensor, the food gels fractured at lower force because of the shape of the sensor but showed longer displacement as the sensor deformed compared to without the sensor. Gels with low-fracture force in the conventional test without the sensor exhibited lower fracture force, work, gradient, and true stress than those with high-fracture force in the sensor test. Displacement, clearance, or distance from the bottom plate, and true stress at fracture were appropriate parameters for expressing the fracture characteristics. Both the true fracture stress and fracture pressure in the sensor test decreased with the fracture strain of gels in a conventional test. These results suggest that by using a larger balloon and faster sampling, the sensor can be used to determine the fracture behavior of tongue-crushable foods. |
