Abstract
Change in masticatory movement according to food size in young Japanese females
Highlights
Feeding behavior is one of the most essential stomatognathic functions and consists of several steps: food cognition, food ingestion, mastication and swallowing
The number of chews significantly increased as the rice weight increased
There were no significant differences in cycle durations of the first and last cycle between each rice ball feeding
Summary
Feeding behavior is one of the most essential stomatognathic functions and consists of several steps: food cognition, food ingestion, mastication and swallowing. The texture, temperature and moisture of food change substantially in the oral cavity [1,2], and masticatory patterns will adjust to the altered food properties during bolus processing. Et al [3] analyzed the masticatory parameters, and reported that there was a high correlation between many masticatory parameters in the early stage, yet not during the middle and late stages. They considered that these results were related to the mastication cycle and duration. Few investigations have viewed certain steps of feeding behavior as a sequence of movements
