Preface

We all know that the food texture is one of the dominating factors that influence
­consumers’ preference of a food product and willingness of next purchase. The texture
of a food is closely associated with its structure at both the macro‐ and micro‐level, and
it therefore has very important implications to other sensory properties, in particular
the taste and aroma, because the release of small molecules depends on the pattern of
food structure breakdown. I understand why consumers often prefer to say a food
“tastes good,” but I believe that understanding a food to be “mouth‐feels good” could be
fundamentally more important in relation to consumers’ acceptance and preference of
a food product.
Even though food texture has been commonly used as a single term and in some cases
used as an alternative to mouth‐feel, it is as a matter of fact a collective term consisting
of a wide range of textural properties. The physical stimulus (or stimuli) to each textural
feature could originate from the structural and geometrical contributions (and some
other contributions, e.g. moisture or oil content), or their combination. No complete
list of textural properties is yet available, but in the Japanese language, more than 400
textural terms/properties have been identified, covering features perceived by touching,
seeing, and even hearing. Therefore, the description, definition, and — more impor-
tantly — the instrumental characterization of textural properties are not easy tasks and
remain as a major challenge to food texture research.
Human beings are very fortunate that a great variety of food is available at different
seasons and in different regions. While such a diversity of food sources is welcomed by
consumers, a big complexity arises due to the diverse texture terms being used by con-
sumers across the globe because of different culture and different languages. Research
has already shown evidence of various texture preferences by consumers of different
cultural backgrounds. Research also shows that the same texture term could have
­delicate differences between consumers speaking different languages.
While texture diversity should be celebrated for making our lives much more inter-
esting and pleasurable, it brings a big challenge to the food industry now that its
markets reach across the globe. This book is the first of such kind to give detailed
insights into the texture diversity of foods across at all major regions of the world.
Cultural, linguistic, as well as technical explanations of food texture are brilliantly
integrated in this book.
xxiv Preface

I thank Professor Nishinari for his great effort in getting this book organized and
published. His expert knowledge of food texture demonstrated in this book is hugely
valuable to texture researchers in both industry and research institutes throughout
the world.

­Foreword

We know that eating is one of the great unifying pleasures of life. Everywhere and in
every culture, we celebrate by eating, and despite the warnings of an emerging obesity
crisis, nutritionists find it very difficult to persuade people that too much of it can be
bad for them. Furthermore, we are warned that our obvious pleasure in eating good
food, when coupled with the growing population and its affluence, is leading to a global
crisis as demand outstrips supply. This can only be managed if we understand much
more about what we eat and why we like it.
We know that essential nutrients can be provided via liquid diets, and flavor and
aroma can be managed much more easily in liquid systems, but there is something
about chewing and breaking down food to swallow it that we enjoy – perhaps just
because it prolongs or provides complexity to our senses?
So, texture is one of foods’ most important qualities and is a sensation perceived by us
all. But how do we perceive it, and what do we prefer? Why is there such diversity in the
food products eaten around the world? This book will not answer all these questions,
but it provides a wonderful insight into the range of textures we eat and some sugges-
tions as to why.
For the scientist and industrial technologist, the complexity of the questions are fas-
cinating research topics requiring continuous investigation. This book begins with
tributes to the founders of this inquiry, its current state of development, and the oppor-
tunities that modern techniques of mechanics and human physiology can bring to
the table.
Others readers may regard texture as “gestalt,” implying that no amount of reduction-
ist measurement science will (or should) codify the design rules for texture creation and
its pleasurable impact. Whatever philosophy the reader prefers, this book provides a
fascinating survey of what has been created by thousands of skilled empirical develop-
ments, converting agricultural produce to an almost limitless array of eating pleasures.

­Introduction
Katsuyoshi Nishinari

I.1 ­Why/How/What Do We Eat?
What do we expect from food? Food supplies energy and nutrition. We eat food when we
feel hungry. This has been known to be controlled by the feeding center and satiety center
in the hypothalamus in the brain. Since the discovery of leptin, a hormone ­regulating food
intake, the understanding of the mechanism of food intake has greatly advanced. Now, the
mechanism of food intake is being studied further, and it is thought that the central nerv-
ous system in addition to hypothalamus is governing the food intake.
Food has such a physiological function, but also has psychological or cultural aspects
that have not been understood completely by physiology. The mechanism that explains
why people lose their appetite in dejection caused by events such as the death of beloved
persons, a broken heart, or being scolded has not been identified.
Food has a special function to unite people by conviviality. This function plays impor-
tant roles to strengthen family ties in daily life, but was also used by feudal kings and
aristocrats to tame or govern subordinates. People like to eat special foods on the occa-
sion or the turning point in their lives such as birthday, marriage, and funeral. Selection
of foods depend on the preference, which is influenced by culture and economic status.
Food processing/cookery has assured the safety by sterilization and removal of harm-
ful ingredients, storage, and transportation, as well as improving the palatability. Texture
has been known to be the most important attribute determining the palatability, and
has recently attracted more and more attention in relation to the safe delivery of food
into digestive organs without causing choking or aspiration (i.e. the wrong transport of
masticated foods or liquids bolus into the airway instead of to the esophagus then stom-
ach). In addition to these urgent problems, the interaction between the food and oral
organs governed by brain function has attracted much attention, although these are not
yet well understood. Thin liquids are known to be swallowed faster than thick liquids.
Firm foods are masticated more strongly and the number of chews is greater than for
soft foods. Are firmer foods chewed slower or faster than soft foods? Or is the chewing
speed independent of firmness? It may depend not only on the firmness but also on
aroma and taste (Nishinari and Fang 2018).
Society for Mastication Science and Health Promotion was founded by Kinziro Kubota
in Japan in 1990. The collaboration among dentists, food scientists, and related disciplines
is thought to be important. People tend to prefer softer processed foods that do not need
xxviii ­Introductio

mastication. As a result, the jaw is degenerated and the space for teeth to grow is becom-
ing insufficient, and thus the problem of snaggleteeth/irregular teeth can become serious.
The growth of the dental industry in developed countries indicates that people do not
want to be deprived of the gratifying sensations that arise from eating their food. From
the nutritional standpoint, it is possible to have a completely adequate diet in the form
of fluid foods that require no mastication. However, few people are content to live on
such a diet. It clearly shows that people want to continue to enjoy the textural sensations
that arise from masticating their food (Bourne 2002). Bourne raises the following rea-
sons for masticating food: gratification, comminution, mix with saliva, temperature
adjustment, released flavor, and increased surface area. The link between reduced mas-
tication ability and hippocampal neuron loss has been suggested, which might indicate
that chewing plays a role in fending off dementia.
Saito examined the number of chewing using restored menus in each era in Japanese
history. According to his examination, the restored menu for Himiko, queen of Yamatai
in the third century, was found to need 3990 chews taking 51 minutes, 1366 chews and
31 minutes for Murasaki Shikibu (the author of Tale of Genji in the tenth to eleventh
century), 2654 chews and 29 minutes for Minamoto Yoritomo (the first warrior
Shogunate) in the end of twelfth century, 1465 chews and 22 minutes for Tokugawa
Ieyasu (who established Edo Bakufu Shogunate in 1603) while only 620 chews and
11 minutes for a common menu in the present.
The decreasing tendency of the number of chews is a reflection of the decrease in the
intake of tough/firm/hard foods. Many reports have been published that eating slowly
with much mastication reduces the likelihood of obesity. Will this gradual change of
food texture from firm to soft continue? Although the invention of softening of firm
foods by enzymatic action that retains food appearance is good news for persons with
difficulty in mastication, the decrease in chewing cycles sometimes results in fast eat-
ing, overeating, and obesity for normal persons. Bolhuis et al. (2014) and Forde et al.
(2016) reported that smaller bite (amount of food ingested in the mouth) sizes and more
chewing increased oro‐sensory exposure time and slowed the eating rate, thus provid-
ing a stronger satiety response per energy consumed.
While many studies have reported that the expected satiation increased with increas-
ing thickness/hardness for liquid/solid foods, and texture is more important determi-
nant for expected satiation and thus for the selected portion size of food, other factors
such as the means of consumption (e.g. using straw or spoon), affecting the eating rate,
could not be neglected. It is also expected that a creamy flavor will cause a higher satia-
tion than fruity flavor, but this remains inconclusive (Hogenkamp et al. 2011). Texture
and flavor are the two most important determinants of food consumption in addition to
the cost, and their respective roles and interaction should be studied further.

I.2 ­Terms for Texture/Taste/Aroma Related


to Diverse Foods/Recipes
Is there a relationship between the two representing systems of written language, alpha-
bets (phonetics) and ideograms, and the universality/diversity problem?
Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics representing shapes of all the things around
them, and ancient Chinese used also hieroglyphic characters engraved on bones and
­Introductio xxix

tortoise shells. Origins of letters seem to be not so different. It can be imagined that
ancient people devised these tools for communication by representing the shape faith-
fully and then simplified these shapes. However they came to their language, people of
world now speak more than 7000 languages (although not all of these have a written
equivalent, and many of these are spoken only by a small number of people). In an
attempt to improve communication, Polish doctor L. L. Zamenhof invented what he
hoped could be a universal language, Esperanto, although it has not gained many users/
speakers.
While most languages have evolved into alphabets that represent only sounds (i.e.
phonetics, without specific meaning), Chinese‐based languages have kept the enor-
mous number of hieroglyphic characters. However, the characters were simplified in
the twentieth century in mainland China and Singapore; Japan and Taiwan retain the
traditional Chinese characters.
The number of Chinese characters was thought to be about 50 000, but the publica-
tion of the largest Chinese character dictionary Zhonghua Zihai (simplified Chinese:
中华字海) compiled in 1994 listed 85 568 different characters. It is thus difficult to
determine the exact number of Chinese characters. I had a lucky experience to be nour-
ished by a Chinese family during my stay in the United Kingdom and was given different
dish every day for more than six months. I enjoyed different dish every day for 180 days!
This family knew so many recipes! Is this diversity of dishes related to the enormous
number of Chinese characters?
Japan is known to have the largest number of texture terms – about 500. In his visits
to Japan, Bourne was impressed by the textural diversity of Japanese foods (Bourne
2002). The great number of texture terms represents the deep attachment to texture
difference of foods. The high ratio of the Japanese texture terms is onomatopoetic
(Nishinari et al. 2008; Hayakawa 2015). Onomatopoetic representation of the texture is
similar to the hieroglyphic representation of things. Only a slight difference of the
appearance, shape, size, color, sound, etc. requires a different term in onomatopoeia,
just as in the enormous number of characters in Egyptian or Chinese hieroglyphic rep-
resentation. There has been no systematic published study on the relation between the
actual sound one hears during mastication and the onomatopoeic word chosen to rep-
resent the sound. Is it determined by anatomic structural difference of organs in the oral
cavity or in the cultural difference originated in one’s personal environmental back-
ground, historical, geographical, or education? It is well known that the onomatopoeic
words for birds and other animals are different in English, French, and other languages,
and therefore, these cultural differences partly account for differences in the onomato-
poeia. Whether physiological difference or cultural differences are more important has
not been studied, as far as the author is aware.

I.3 ­Universality and Diversity


For most physicists, it is valuable to understand a phenomenon by a simple equation
symbolized by a Newton’s law of motion. Although all the events in the universe seem
to be very complicated, we can understand the essence of the event by extracting the
most important core of the event. Thus, physics made a great progress, and humans
succeeded in understanding many events/phenomena. While the physicists have won a
xxx ­Introductio

great success, the biologists still face a great deal of mystery, although the field has
also seen many great achievements. Physicists like the universality, while botanists/
zoologists/microbiologists are interested in discovering the distinctions that identify
new species or in the phenomenon where many factors intersect, making the simpli-
fication – extraction of the essence – difficult. They pay more attention to the diversity,
although they also try to find some universal law that can explain biological phenomena
(Nishinari et al. 2016).
Goethe’s Faust reflects the thought of the biblical book Ecclesiastes that there is noth-
ing new under the sun. Goethe is known to have discovered the incisive bone, and
therefore he should have known that before and after the discovery, human knowledge
is changed. He also disagreed with Newton’s analytical understanding of the nature. He
wrote that nature should be grasped totally and should not be shredded into separated
parts (Thuillier 1980). Thus, his thought “nothing new under the sun” should mean that
human nature, mind, and feeling are essentially the same and not changed from the
ancient times to his age. Therefore, the phrase “under the sun” represents “in the human
mind.” However, our way of thinking and feeling is strongly influenced by the environ-
ment, which has been modified by science and technology. In the sixteenth century, a
French monk Francois Rabelais wrote Gargantua and Pantagruel, giving advice on a
wide range of best practices. Imagine what he would say if he could have used a washlet
to clean himself after defecation instead of the downy feathers of a goose’s neck.
Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top, proposed in Japan in 2005, uses easily understood
illustrations to show desirable combinations of food groups and their approximate
quantities. It was formulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW)
and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF). In this representation, not
only the intake of the combination of diverse foods but also the importance of exercise
is emphasized, because if the top stops spinning, it falls over. It is well‐known that exer-
cise improves the appetite for diverse foods, although instead of healthy exercise, some
immoral ancient Romans were reported to vomit to empty their stomach to create room
for another favorite food. In the extreme, if one eats only one cup of noodles as a meal,
this is surely against the recommendation of the Food Guide. Even if one is busy, one
should not forget that continuing to eat such a simple meal will lead to health problems.
Thus, enjoying a well‐balanced meal is not only an enjoyable but also a necessary duty
for humans to be free from illness and to reduce the burden on a nation’s resources.

I.4 ­Wonderful Diversity of World Foods


As we can see in this book, different foods are eaten in each country. Each nation has its
own food materials and enjoy different taste, aroma, and texture. Their raw materials
are different, and way of cooking and processing are different. Texture, taste, and aroma
interact, and the texture is the most important attributes to determine the palatability
of foods, especially in staple food such as rice, bread, noodle, and potatoes, which
mostly have no strong taste and aroma (Szczesniak 1963; Bourne 2002; Nishinari and
Fang 2018).
Most humans enjoy the meals, and feel happy when they eat palatable foods with
beloved persons, families, and friends. This pleasure to share the enjoyment with others
is specific for humans, although animals give food to their children during nursing.
­Introductio xxxi

Humans have learned to share the pleasure with others in the course of building com-
munity. Since many nations wish to live peacefully with other nations, this shared pleas-
ure should prevail all over the world. Readers will find that many different palatable
foods are enjoyed in different countries, and will be interested in traveling to different
countries to experience different foods/culture. Foods can unite all the humans peacefully.
This book is a collection of more than 20 chapters, each describing the textural char-
acteristic of traditional and special foods in each country. We can learn from the tradi-
tional and special foods that are liked by people in each country. People are generally
conservative in the preference of foods, but if they recognize the merit of new foods that
might add to enjoyment and might also help people recovering from illnesses or sur-
gery, these new foods attract much attention and prompt the industry explore more
new products. Readers may find it interesting to compare the different preferences of
the texture for cooked rice in Japan, Europe, and India. Readers may learn new ideas to
improve food processing and distribution. Chapters address not only texture but the
flavor release, as well as the relation between the texture and taste/aroma.
Recently, palatability has been shown not only to add enjoyment but also contribute
to health by improving appetite and saliva secretion, and other physiological functions
such as immunity and stress; the interleukin was found to increase in rats that were fed
with sweet feeds while corticosterone was found to increase in rats fed with bitter feeds.
As Brillat‐Savarin says:

The pleasure of the table belongs to all ages, to all conditions, to all countries, and
to all areas; it mingles with all other pleasures, and remains at last to console
them for their departure. … The discovery of a new dish confers more happiness
on humanity than the discovery of a new star.

A so‐called China’s Brillat‐Savarin, Yuan Mei also talked about the pleasure of the
table. Food companies are required to make products with many kinds of characteris-
tics in response to consumer demand.
Diversity is not only reflected in foods and in culture; science and the arts also reveal
the value of diversity. Misuzu Kaneko, a wonderful Japanese poet who unfortunately
committed suicide, is loved by many Japanese including myself still today. The poet
chanted, “Minna chigatte minna ii,” which I like so much and which has been translated
by perhaps more than hundred Japanese persons, as exemplified in the internet:
Everyone is different. That is what makes them wonderful. Everyone has his/her own
wonderful personality. Everyone is different from others, and has value of existing, etc.
A poet could be and should be and tries to create a new original expression that has
sometimes never been used, and thus uses a special word that might not be understood
immediately or move readers immediately. Sometimes the art will be understood only
by a small group of people. Likewise, it is good to be able to enjoy different foods in the
travel – to savor the diversity and find enjoyment in the experience. However, food has
additional requirements. It must be not only palatable but also be safe. It must not be
too expensive, and it must be sustainable, which is a task for food science and technology.
I would like to unify the universality and diversity, and wish readers to enjoy each
chapter and become friendly with many countries. I thank all the contributors of the
book. It is my hope that readers will gain a greater appreciation for the important role
of texture as they read this book. I am happy to see that my friends Amos Nussinovitch
xxxii ­Introductio

and Madoka Hirashima published a book “More Cooking Innovations – Novel


Hydrocolloids for Special Dishes” complementing their previous book “Cooking
Innovations – Using Hydrocolloids for Thickening, Gelling and Emulsification”, both
published from CRC Press.

I.5 ­Some Pitfalls in Texture Studies


After affirming and admiring the diversity of world foods, I must note that we should
better to understand each other by using the common words to avoid the calamity of
the biblical Tower of Babel, in which languages were so confused that people were
unable to communicate meaningfully.
Foods that are masticated are broken down into small fragments by the teeth and
mixed with saliva, thus being sufficiently lubricated to be swallowed (Hutchings and
Lillford 1988). This mouth process model has been taken into account by many texture
research groups as the starting point for understanding the oral processing (Chen and
Engelen 2012). Although the mouth process model of Hutchings and Lillford is very
versatile and schematizes concisely the dynamic nature, it does not specify the force or
the distance quantitatively and never mentions the effect of smell and taste, which influ-
ences the mastication behavior. The interaction among different sensations texture,
taste, and odor is still a matter of debate.
The texture profile analysis (TPA) has been widely used to quantify the textural char-
acteristics of solid foods. This is a simple experiment to compress by a plunger a sample
food placed on a flat base of the uniaxial compression machine, and then record the
force. Usually, the compression speed is chosen so that it is closer to the mastication
speed, but unfortunately, some commercially available machines do not allow the
experimenter to use such a compression rate. In addition, in normal mastication the
lower teeth in the mandible are raised to contact with the upper teeth so that foods can
be broken down effectively, but in the TPA measurement the distance between the
plunger and the base, called the clearance, cannot be set to zero to protect the force
sensor. When the hardness is defined by the peak force, it is necessary to write the
cross‐sectional area of the sample because the force is almost doubled when the area is
doubled. It is also a pity that so many published papers lack the information of the
compression rate,which seriously affects the value of hardness (Bourne 2002; Nishinari
and Fang 2018).
The adhesiveness is defined by the negative peak force or the area enclosed by the
force curve and the base line (usually time), and is usually interpreted as the degree of
stickiness of foods to the oral organ, teeth, tongue, and palate. However, no‐rubber‐like
sample is broken down after the first compression, and the surface area of the sample
could not be defined uniquely. Therefore, to determine the adhesiveness, it is better to
choose a larger clearance so that the area of the sample can be easily defined (Brenner
and Nishinari 2014).
The ratio of the area of the force enclosed by the first compression to that of the sec-
ond compression is called cohesiveness, and it is interpreted as the internal forces that
maintain the structure of foods. Therefore, very brittle foods such as biscuits don’t
recover the height after they are broken down by the first compression; the second
compression does not detect any force, leading to a 0 cohesiveness value. It is
­Introductio xxxiii

understandable that more deformable elastic foods such as surimi or dessert jelly may
recover the initial height after the first compression, and therefore these foods many
show comparatively higher value of cohesiveness. However, if this method is applied to
liquids such as water, it is evident that the cohesiveness is equal to 1 because the level of
water in a container will fully recover the initial height before the second compression
begins. Is the cohesiveness of water is so high? Researchers working in dysphagia treat-
ment say that yogurt‐like texture is ideal to prevent the aspiration because it is cohesive,
meaning that the broken down fragment stick each other, which is called cohesive. But
this “cohesiveness” is much different from the highest cohesiveness value of 1 shown by
water, and is thought to be most dangerous for dysphagic patients because it is least
cohesive! Thus, it is dangerous to apply TPA directly to liquid foods in the container
(Nishinari et al. 2013, 2019a, b).
The plots of breaking stress σb against breaking strain εb are frequently used to classify
the texture of foods, e.g. the ratio of σb/εb is called gel rigidity and used in the surimi
community in Japan. It is evident, however, that this schematic presentation does not
distinguish the strain hardening and strain softening because this ratio is obtained from
only two points, the origin and the breaking point, and does not take into account
whether the curve is convex (strain softening) or concave (strain hardening).
Small‐amplitude oscillational shear measurements have been introduced to under-
stand the texture correlating with structure, but unfortunately sometimes, the artifacts
were reported because of the slippage between the sample and the geometry of the
apparatus. This is mostly caused by the syneresis. It is recommended to use waterproof
sandpaper because serrated geometry commercially available is not sufficient to pre-
vent the slippage, and/or to use the uniaxial deformation, which is free from slippage
(Nishinari and Fang, 2018).

I.6 ­About This Book


The editing of the book started from the obituary for Alina Szczesniak, a pioneer of
texture studies, who contributed a chapter “Food Textures in the United States of
America” in a book New Encyclopedia of Mouthfeel (Eds. K. Nishinari, F. Nakazawa,
K. Katsuta, J. Toda), which was published in 1999 only in Japanese by the Japanese
publisher Science Forum (Tokyo). The Part of the book contains six chapters contrib-
uted by Long Huang (on China), Bernnard Launay (on France), Stefan Kasapis and
Dimitrios Boskou (on Greece), Karin Autio and Liisa Lähteenmäki (on Finland), Andrew
Halmos (on Australia), Alina Szczesniak (on USA).
As I was writing her obituary, I felt obliged to publish her chapter, together with
other contributions, in English. One of the editors, Jun Toda, fortunately kept ­copies
of her manuscripts, and the director of the publisher Science Forum Motoyama
generously allowed us to use these manuscripts. Szczesniak’s chapter has not
lost its value but contains a lot of important descriptions. Her faithful coworker
Gail Vance Civille and her team contributed additional information to complement

Food Texture – Sensory Evaluation and Instrumental Measurement

1.1 ­Introduction: History of Food Texture Studies


Various types of foods are consumed across the worlds. Humans have experienced dif-
ferent food textures and carried on the tradition during the sharing of their foods over
many generations, but it is not known when texture studies of foods first began. The
great scientist Robert Hooke, after from Hookean solids are named, explained the prin-
ciple of elastic deformation of solids, and Isaac Newton, who founded the law governing
the flow of simple liquids (Newtonian fluids), may be included in the founding of tex-
ture studies. A great number of works were published more than 100 years ago (Bourne
2002, pp. 26–27), but food texture as a main study subject appears to have originated in
the late 1950s (Szczesniak 2002). As texture is defined as “all the mechanical, geometri-
cal and surface attributes of a product perceptible by means of mechanical, tactile and,
where appropriate, visual and auditory receptors” (ISO 11036 1994), food texture is
perceived as the physical characteristics of food experienced by humans; therefore, only
humans can perceive and describe texture (Szczesniak 2002). Texture analyses that
combine a sensory evaluation and an instrumental measurement have been widely per-
formed since the 1960s. Alina S. Szczesniak and Malcolm C. Bourne, who both passed
away in 2016 (Nishinari and Fang 2018), were great pioneers of food texture studies
from the viewpoints of sensory evaluation and physics, respectively. Many sensory and
instrumental measurements of food texture have been published in a myriad of publica-
tions such as the Journal of Texture Studies (1970–) and others (Kohyama 2018). Later,
a variety of methods are introduced.
In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) for the
2030 Agenda (United Nations 2015). Foods are produced and processed in a globally
sustainable system as shown in Figure 1.1 (Kohyama 2015). The physical properties of
food materials are dramatically changed during each step in the process, and the mag-
nitude of this change is generally significant. The physical properties and structures in

the early stages of food processing, where raw materials are not eaten, and those in the
digestive stages after swallowing are less important for texture. Most textural informa-
tion of foods is sensed manually just before eating and orally during oral processing in
the food system.
When we eat, a bite‐size food is processed using the tongue and teeth, and then subse-
quently swallowed. The time required for oral processing is very short, approximately
1 second for a liquid such as water, 10 seconds for thick liquids and semisolids, and
100 seconds for hard solid foods (Kohyama 2015). Physical properties of food never reach
an equilibrium state during this short period: The food structure is broken down, mixed
with saliva, and a bolus is prepared for swallowing (Hutchings and Lillford 1988; Chen
2009; Koç et al. 2013; Kohyama 2015; Lillford 2018; Nishinari and Fang 2018). The oral
stage has been more extensively studied (Chen 2009), and a series of international confer-
ences named “Food Oral Processing” has been organized every two years since 2010.
Recently, Jeltema et al. (2015) suggested that food texture is determined by the pre-
ferred manner of oral processing or mouth behaviors of each person. There are four
distinct patterns (chewer, cruncher, smoother, and sucker) of mouth behaviors, with
subjects belonging to different groups perceiving food textures of the same food dif-
ferently. The mouth behaviors of consumers must be considered in designing the
texture of a food. Aging decreases oral adaptation to food textures in healthy indi-
viduals, and oral impairments such as tooth loss can also change eating behaviors
(Peyron et al. 2017).
Oral processing can be skipped if well‐homogenized diets are served, which is the
case for infant foods and diets for those with dysphagia (Cichero 2017). However,
oral processing is required for the perception of food texture and flavor, and for
enjoyment of food as an essential part of life (Kohyama 2015). The perception of
food texture for each individual is determined according to one’s capabilities, physi-
cal activities, hunger/thirst, and other physiological states such as the time of the day
and environmental conditions. The relationships between objective measurements,
subjective sensory perceptions, and consumer preferences must be clearly addressed
(Tunick 2011).

1.2 ­Three Methods of Texture Evaluation


Figure 1.2 shows the evaluation methods of food texture (Wilkinson et al. 2000;
Kohyama 2015). Texture is assessed by subjective sensory evaluations based on psycho-
physics and by objective instrumental measurements based on physics and/or chemis-
try. Texture and related physical properties can be evaluated by instruments that
measure rheology, fracture, and acoustics as well as by microscope and spectrometers,
which are able to characterize the structure of materials.
These instrumental and sensory results are often inconsistent. In addition to the non-
equilibrium nature of food texture mentioned above, other reasons for this inconsist-
ency could be the time during which the instruments are used (before oral processing),
while differ from the time of the sensory evaluations, which are typically performed
after the initiation of oral processing. In addition, there is a nonlinear relationship
between the magnitude of what can be perceived by the human senses and the intensity
of the physical stimuli from food. Conditions such as temperature, moisture due to
saliva, chewing movements, and food deformation rates during oral processing are not
well mimicked by conventional instruments and can influence instrumental results
(Bourne 2002, pp. 33–57, 347–368).
As Szczesniak and Bourne (1969) previously reported, panelists change the methods
for manually determining firmness. The viscosity principle is used for soft foods such as
puddings; deformation by gentle squeezing is used for firmer foods such as bread and
tomatoes; puncture forces using a finger are utilized for pears and apples; and the flex-
ing principle is used for raw carrots. Shama and Sherman (1973) reported that the orally
perceived viscosities of a wide range of liquids and semi‐solid foods can be perceived at
different shear stresses and strains. Shear stress, which is caused by the tongue squeez-
ing at a low shear rate around 10 s−1, can be used to assess the viscosity of highly viscous
foods such as chocolate spread, lemon curd, and peanut butter, whereas different shear
rates and a similar low shear stress can be used for liquids with low viscosity. Moreover,
humans are able to modify how they process food according to the texture perceived
(Figure 1.2).
4 1 Food Texture – Sensory Evaluation and Instrumental Measurement

To eliminate the data gap between the objective and subjective methods, it is neces-
sary to examine the physical changes that foods undergo during oral processing
(Nishinari and Fang 2018). Human physiological measurements can relate the physico-
chemical properties measured by instruments and the perceived textures evaluated by
sensory panelists (Wilkinson et al. 2000; Bourne 2002, pp. 293–319; Koç et al. 2013;
Kohyama 2015). Instead of instruments, sensors that detect load, displacement, vibra-
tion, strain, etc. are often housed in the instruments are attached to human subjects
who eat the food in the physiological methods. The output values from the sensors are
objective, similarly to those of instrumental analyses, and the mode of oral processing is
the same as for the sensory evaluations. The force or pressure, kinematics, and muscle
activities are objectively measured during oral processing, and these values correspond
to load, deformation, and energy measurements obtained by instrumental evaluations
of food texture (Kohyama 2015).
Bourne (1975) stated that instrumental measurements based on rheology, the study
of the deformation and flow, are only able to describe a fraction of the physical proper-
ties sensed by the mouth: changes in size (comminution), moisture (hydration due to
saliva), temperature, and surface roughness during oral processing.
Tribological measurements are related to mouthfeel during oral processing (Chen
2009; Chen and Stokes 2012; Stokes et al. 2013). When the thickness of the food placed
on the surface of the oral organ is large (> 100 μm), combined with a normal first bite
and during an early stage of oral processing, the bulk properties relating to thickness,
firmness, crispness, melting, and breakdown predominate. Rheology is most useful as
an instrumental method in cases of large deformation rheology and fracture testing in
solid foods. When the thickness of the food is 0.1–100 μm after some oral processing
the mixing of the food particles with saliva or liquids from the food causes the creami-
ness, smoothness, and slipperiness that can be analyzed by tribology (Chen and Stokes
2012; Stokes et al. 2013). When the thickness is in the nm–μm range, the food surface
properties related to astringency, roughness, and homogeneity predominate. During
the late stage of oral processing, a bolus is formed and swallowed, and some residual
attributes can then be sensed. These qualities can also be studied by rheology and tri-
bology (Stokes et al. 2013).

1.3 ­Methodologies in Sensory Evaluation of Texture


Texture is a complicated attribute that is derived from a number of words used to
describe an attribute (Szczesniak 2002). Based on an examination of consumers’ aware-
ness of texture, Szczesniak and colleagues at the General Foods Corporation Technical
Center proposed a definition and classification for texture characteristics (Szczesniak
1963). They developed standard rating scales for hardness, brittleness, chewiness, gum-
miness, viscosity, and adhesiveness for quantitative evaluation of food texture
(Szczesniak et al. 1963), and proposed the texture profile method (Brandt et al. 1963).
These approaches are the basis of the international standards of sensory analysis and
have been modified over time. The texture profile method has been widely used as the
standard method (ISO 11036).
Developing a texture lexicon and classifying texture terms have reported globally, and
international comparative studies of texture terms have been conducted (Jowitt 1974;
1.3 Methodologies in Sensory Evaluation of Texture 5

Drake 1989; Nishinari et al. 2008; Antmann et al. 2011; Hayakawa 2015; Arboleda and
Arce‐Lopera 2017). The most frequently used texture term in Japan is “hard–soft,”
although “crisp” is more frequently used in the United States and Austria (Bourne 2002,
p. 5). The Japanese use several different ideograms expressed as different Chinese char-
acters (kanji) to describe the terms, such as hard, firm, stiff, tough, and rigid, which are
pronounced as ka‐ta‐i in Japanese (Hayakawa et al. 2013; Nishinari and Fang 2018).
Drake (1989) provided a list of 54 texture and rheology terms translated from English
into 22 different languages (Bahasa, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French,
German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian,
Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, and Welsh). A word in one language
was sometimes used to describe multiple texture attributes that were described by
distinguishable terms in another language. Drake pointed out that misunderstandings,
confusion, and inconsistencies might occur during such translations. Currently, stand-
ard texture lexicons are available for download on the websites of the International
Organization for Standardization (https://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue.htm) and
the ASTM International: (www.astm.org) (Hayakawa 2015).
Texture terms often include onomatopoeias (Yoshikawa et al. 1970; Hayakawa et al.
2005, 2013; Antmann et al. 2011; Hayakawa 2015). As listed by Yoshikawa et al. (1970)
and Hayakawa et al. (2005), there are more than 400 Japanese terms for texture, a much
greater number than in other languages (Bourne 2002; p. 5). There are also many ono-
matopoetic and mimetic Japanese terms for texture (Hayakawa et al. 2013).
The sensory texture profiling procedure was developed by Szczesniak et al. in the
early 1960s (Brandt et al. 1963; Szczesniak 2002; Bourne 2002, pp. 257–286). Some
modifications to the basic texture profile analysis (TPA) procedure have been made.
Sensory texture measurements are made primarily by touch, although appearance and
sound sometimes provide important information for the texture profile of a food prod-
uct. The major steps in the sensory texture profile are (i) panel selection, (ii) panel train-
ing, (iii) establishment of standard rating scales using standard products, (iv)
establishment of a basic score sheet for the TPA, and (iv) development of a comparative
TPA score sheet for each commodity. Texture is typically analyzed using selected terms
and the extent to when and how a panelist touches and treats or manipulates a product.
Sensory evaluation includes several steps that occur both outside and inside the
mouth. Examples of the latter steps are the first bite, the early and late stages of mastica-
tion, swallowing, and the residual feel of the food in the mouth and throat (Brandt et al.
1963; Szczesniak 2002). Some mechanical properties such as firmness, fracturability,
and viscosity are perceived during the first bite, whereas gumminess, chewiness, and
adhesiveness are evaluated during the masticatory stage, and mouth‐coating is per-
ceived late or as residual attribute after swallowing.
Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) is a technique for characterizing the per-
ceived sensory attributes in quantitative terms (Stone et al. 1974). Descriptive analysis
has been the main tool in sensory science for the acquisition of detailed, reliable, and
reproducible data to describe sensory profiles. Check‐all‐that‐apply (CATA) is a simple
and fast sensory profiling tool that is often used in consumer studies (Lazo et al. 2016).
Panelists check all sensory attributes from the list; however, the magnitudes of the
selected attributes are not analyzed.
The above‐mentioned methods are used to describe sensory attributes at a defined
moment. Sensory texture evaluation during oral processing has evolved to include
6 1 Food Texture – Sensory Evaluation and Instrumental Measurement

dynamic sensory evaluations, which are used to analyze temporal changes in textural
attributes. Time intensity (TI) is a method during which a panelist sequentially describes
the intensity of a selected attribute (Lee III and Pangborn 1986; Cliff and Heymann
1993; Jack et al. 1994; Sprunt et al. 2002; Le Révérend et al. 2008). In the method of
temporal dominance of sensations (TDS), a panelist continuously chooses the strongest
attribute at each moment from a list of attributes (Labbe et al. 2009; Pineau et al. 2009;
Cheong et al. 2014; Fiszman and Tarrega 2018). For time check‐all‐that‐apply (TCATA),
a panelist checks all perceived attributes at successive moments (Ares et al. 2015;
Castura et al. 2016). Panelists do not quantify the magnitudes in the latter two methods,
but the ratio of panelists who check an attribute provides information on the intensity
of the attribute at each moment.
Sherman (1969) proposed an amended texture profile shortly after that described by
Szczesniak et al. The only criterion in Sherman’s classification was whether the charac-
teristic is a fundamental property or is derived from a combination of two or more
attributes. The primary characteristics are analytical composition, particle size and
shape; the secondary characteristics are elasticity, viscosity, and adhesion; and the ter-
tiary characteristics are mechanical properties such as hard, brittle, plastic, crisp,
creamy, soggy, and sticky, so on.
Sensory attributes are evaluated at different stages of the oral processing (Chen 2009;
Koç et al. 2012; Nishinari and Fang 2018). The initial properties of a food such as firm-
ness, deformability, and springiness are manually perceived. Oral processing accompa-
nies a sequential perception of texture: compression between the tongue and palate, the
first bite, repeated chewing or mastication, bolus formation, swallowing, and residual
mouthfeel.

1.4 ­Instrumental Measurements of Food Texture


Objective evaluation methods using instruments for texture measurements have been
categorized into three types: fundamental, empirical, and imitative (Scott‐Blair 1958;
Rosenthal 1999; Bourne 2002, pp. 107–112). Fundamental methods are based on mate-
rials science, such as rheology, and provide well‐defined physical properties. Typical
examples are Young’s modulus, dynamic shear modulus and viscosity coefficients, but
they often fail to explain the textural characteristics perceived by humans. When
humans touch a material, their perceptions are not in accordance with the idealized
hypothesis of a fundamental measurement. The ratio of deformation of soft food mate-
rials extends over the linear region of force and deformation, and humans evaluate
texture prior to the point where a food sample reaches an equilibrium state.
Better correlations to sensory scores have often been obtained using empirical meth-
ods rather than fundamental methods. Values measured by empirical tests are more
poorly defined than those measured by fundamental tests, but they can be related to
texture from practical experiences. Many instruments are developed to provide numer-
ical values, but these measured values cannot be compared if they are obtained from
different instruments. Some examples of empirical tests are using the Magness‐Taylor
puncture tester for fruit hardness, the Bloom Gelometer for gelatin jelly strength, the
Kramer Shear Press for hardness of processed fruits, vegetables and legumes, and the
Warner‐Bratzler Shear machine for meat tenderness (Bourne 2002, pp. 189–233). Many
1.4 Instrumental Measurements of Food Texture 7

of these tests can be performed using universal testing instruments, as these attachable
probes are commercially available, but users must be reminded that the measured val-
ues depend on the test conditions.
Imitative methods attempt to simulate the conditions to which the food is subjected
to human action. As the instrument mimics human movements, obtained empirical
parameters help explain the texture perceived by humans. Instrumental TPA has been
widely used since it was proposed in the 1960s.
Originally, TPA was conducted with a Texturometer (Figure 1.3a) (Friedman et al.
1963), in which a probe mimics a molar tooth. The movement of the probe resembles
chewing, and two‐sequential bites are performed, even though the location of the
food and the lower molar is upside‐down. Texture parameters such as hardness,
adhesiveness, and cohesiveness can be objectively obtained from the resulting
­
force–time curve (Figure 1.3b). Szczesniak (1968) found that the parameters obtained
from the TPA measurements were well correlated to the sensory scores generated by
a trained panel.
After several years, Bourne proposed a modified two‐bite TPA using an Instron uni-
versal testing machine (Bourne 2002, p. 185). As the test is performed by uniaxial move-
ments at a constant speed, the resultant force–time curve is easily converted into a
force–distance curve (Figure 1.4). The area under the curve is defined as the work or
energy used in physics, and the work used for compression and decompression can be
analyzed separately, as A4 and A5 in Figure 1.4. The area under the curve for the first or
second compression (A1 and A2 in Figure 1.4) represents the compressive work, and
the negative force area during the first decompression (A3) is adhesiveness that is also
defined as work. Other parameters such as hardness and springiness also have dimen-
sions (Sherman 1969; Bourne 2002, p. 186). At present, most two‐bite TPAs have been
conducted using a similar type of instrument.
The TPA method has been applied to food boli gathered from the mouths of humans,
and changes in texture during oral processing were objectively analyzed (Shiozawa et al.
1999). According to the Consumers Affairs Agency of the Japanese government, semi‐
solid and thickened liquids prepared for dysphagic individuals are currently evaluated
using this method (Nishinari et al. 2013). As these samples flow away, they are placed in

a vessel. The hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness are then determined using the
TPA method. The misuse of the cohesiveness values that decrease as viscosity increases
must be avoided during the interpretation of data.

1.5 ­Sound Effects
Crisp foods such as crackers, potato chips, fresh fruits, and vegetables make sounds
when they are broken, though some foods do not produce sounds. The sounds are due
to the rupture of the cell walls. Crackers and snacks are dry crisp foods that contain only
air in the cells; whereas fruits and vegetables are wet crisp foods that contain fluid in
their cells (Tunick 2011). The work performed by external forces is stored as elastic
potential energy, which is liberated as acoustic energy when the foods are ruptured.
Sounds have been measured to evaluate the texture of these foods.
Drake has pioneered studies of food‐crushing sounds (Drake 1963), and Vickers con-
ducted combined studies of perceived crispness and sound measurements in foods
(Vickers and Bourne 1976, Vickers 1984). Vickers (1984) suggested that crispness and
crunchiness are related to pitch and loudness of crushing sounds, and Dacremont
(1995) analyzed the spectral components of chewing sounds. Recently, eating sounds
were studied using onomatopoeic expressions across different languages (Arboleda and
Arce‐Lopera 2017).
The fracturability of a food relates to the sounds made while the food is bitten and
chewed. More recently, crisp food sounds have been measured using an acoustic enve-
lope detector coupled with a texture analyzer for the simultaneous measurements of
1.7 Concluding Remarks 9

force displacement and sound pressure generated by the fracture of crisp food samples
(Chen et al. 2005; Taniwaki and Kohyama 2012; Demattè et al. 2014). Sounds during
oral processing were found to influence the perceived texture of potato chips and
­carbonated drinks in recent psychological trials (Zampini and Spence 2004, 2005) that
Ig‐Novel Nutrition Prize was awarded in 2008.

1.6 ­Visual Cues and Flavor Release


Humans can perceive the viscoelastic properties of a food using visual information
alone without touching the material. Viscosity can be estimated by flow rate, and
rigidity can be evaluated by the degree of deformation. Geometric characteristics and
surface properties can also be judged visually. Structural information observed using
microscopy and spectroscopy is widely used in materials science. The range of the
spatial scale for properties that are visually perceptible is similar to that of the tactile
special threshold: approximately 1–2 mm for passive touch determined by two‐point
discrimination and more than 10 times lower (0.02–0.1 mm) for active touch with free
movement of the tongue and other organs (Kohyama 2015). The time scale that is
perceptible by humans must be also considered. It would be approximately 0.1–
100 seconds, which is the same as the time for oral processing (Kohyama 2015). Visual
and structural information that falls outside of these ranges is excluded from texture
analyses according to the definition of texture (ISO 11036) perceived by human
receptors.
Visual sensations are not assessed during oral processing because the food inside the
mouth cannot be seen (Kohyama 2015). Instead, taste and retronasal aroma play more
important roles, as they are released from food matrix in the mouth. These properties
can be perceived during oral processing and undergo dynamic changes. These chemical
stimuli sensed by taste and olfactory receptors affect the texture perceived using tactile,
kinesthetic, temperature, and auditory receptors. Although these receptors detect each
stimulus, multi‐modal sensory integration occurs through the cross‐modal interactions
of these receptors during the perception of food characteristics (Verhagen and Engelen
2006; Bult et al. 2007).

1.7 ­Concluding Remarks
To inform food texture for consumers who have not experienced a particular food prod-
uct, which is very common in other cultures/languages/countries, the use of appropri-
ate texture terms is difficult. Currently, texture expressions using audiovisual information
are common in presentations and advertisements on television and social network
services such as Cookpad.
Tactile displays have been studied using virtual reality and augmented reality in this
century (Peruzzini et al. 2012; Ung et al. 2018). As virtual tactile displays need neither
real food materials nor translation of texture terms, its actual application to food sci-
ence is expected to provide a better understanding of the textural characteristics of
foods in the future.

„Jawel, Raffles!” herhaalde Marholm en keerde zich tot Baxter.

„Hij heeft u hier binnengebracht en u ook weer uit uw weinig


benijdenswaardige positie bevrijd. Zijn bedoeling was het, dat gij door
eigen aanschouwing de misdaden van dr. Braddon zoudt leeren
kennen.”

„En dat was, bij God, meer dan tijd,” sprak de inspecteur van politie
Baxter. „Deze mensch daar”—hij wees op den verpletterden
geneesheer-directeur—„is erger dan de gevreesde Jack the Ripper.”

Hij trad op den in zijn stoel sidderenden dr. Braddon toe, liet zijn hand
zwaar op diens schouder vallen, en sprak:

„In naam van de Engelsche wet neem ik u gevangen, dr. Braddon! en


beschuldig u van moord en zeer veel andere misdaden, waarmede ik het
gerecht in kennis zal stellen.”

Allereerst werd dr. Braddon zwaar geboeid uit de inrichting geleid,


daarop volgde de hoofdverpleger en eindelijk het geheele personeel.

De gevangenwagens boden niet voldoende plaats voor alle


gevangenen.

Spoedig daarop traden doktoren uit de ziekenhuizen het


krankzinnigengesticht binnen, om de verpleging der patiënten over te
nemen.

Afschuwelijke vertrekken werden gevonden, waarin zich de


ongelukkigen jarenlang moesten ophouden.

„Deze misdaden zijn zwaarder en verdienen grootere [31]straf,” sprak de


inspecteur van politie Baxter tot Marholm, „dan die van dieven en
moordenaars.”

Het Londensche publiek geraakte in koortsachtige opgewondenheid,


toen de couranten de eerste berichten brachten over den inval der
detectives in het krankzinnigengesticht en de gevangenneming van den
gekkendokter.

Duizenden vloeken werden uitgebraakt tegen dr. Braddon, maar ook


werd er hartelijk gelachen, toen het publiek uit de nieuwsbladen vernam,
hoe het nieuwste meesterstuk van John Raffles ook nu weer schitterend
was gelukt.

Lord Guildhall was gevlucht en had zijn onrechtmatig verkregen


vermogen, overeenkomstig den wensch van Raffles, aan de stad
Londen vermaakt.

Bijna iedere dag van onderzoek bracht nieuwe misdaden uit het
krankzinnigengesticht aan het licht en steeds weer was het die eene
naam, waarvan de geheele pers met lof gewaagde—de naam van den
genialen meesterdief John Raffles!

distribute it in the United States without permission and without
paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General
Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and
distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the
PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project
Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if
you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the
trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the
Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is
very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such
as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and
printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in
the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright
law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially
commercial redistribution.
