Food oral processing (FOP) is a fast-emerging research area in the food science discipline.
Since its first introduction about a decade ago, a large amount of literature has been …

The detailed investigation of food-grade emulsions, which possess considerable structural
and functional advantages, remains ongoing to enhance our understanding of these …

Oral friction on the tongue surface plays a pivotal role in mechanics of food transport,
speech, sensing, and hedonic responses. The highly specialized biophysical features of the …

Food entering the oral cavity undergoes a series of complex processing behaviors. It is
subjected to compression and shearing by the teeth, tongue, and palate to reduce its size …

Highlights•Recent frictional measurements with commercial and homebuilt soft-solid
tribometers have led to new tribology perspectives.•Molecular-scale surface and lubricant …

This study explored the effect of yolk sphere on gel state and taste differences between
whole boiled egg yolk (WBEY) and stirred boiled egg yolks (SBEYs). Optical microscopy …

A custom-built tribometer was employed to investigate the impact of the roughness of
deformable tongue mimicking surfaces (TMS) on friction mechanisms occurring under the …

Elastic friction pairs were designed and prepared to represent the surface morphology
characteristics of human tongue. Tribological experiments were conducted using such …

The tribological principle of the relative movement amongst food particles as well as
between food particles and oral surface is considered as an important physical mechanism …

BACKGROUND The human tongue is important in the oral processing of food and in
sensory perception. Tongue topography could influence delicate differences in sensory …
