The influence of auditory and/or visual information on the perception of crispy food and on the physiology of chewing was investigated. Participants chewed biscuits of three different levels of crispness under four experimental conditions: no masking, auditory masking, visual masking, and auditory plus visual masking. The order of the four masking condition blocks was randomized. The sound of chewing...
ABSTRACTWhen we chew crispy food, the jaw decelerates and accelerates as a result of resistance and breakage of food particles, and a characteristic sound of the breakage of the food particles is produced. Our aim was to investigate how physical responses, in the form of vibrations, change during chewing. This will give an impression of how food characteristics change during the chewing process. Force resistance and sound emission of three crispy foods (biscuits) and one noncrispy food (cake) were determined with a texture analyzer. We measured skull vibration, while the subjects chewed and swallowed the foods. Clear skull vibrations were observed while the subjects started to chew the biscuits. The skull vibrations gradually decreased upon further chewing down to the level of skull vibrations produced by chewing on noncrispy cake. Then, the biscuits were chewed long enough to form a well‐moistened food bolus that was ready for swallowing....
