The objective of this study was to analyze human eating behaviors in chewing and slurping buckwheat noodles. We used electromyography to measure the activity of the jaw-closing, jaw-opening, and lip-closing muscles while healthy adults ate one mouthful of buckwheat noodles. Slurping the noodles required a longer mastication period but smaller muscle activity per movement than chewing the same samples. Total muscle activity was greater in slurping. Slurping also showed a longer average cycle…

Electromyographic texture characterization of hydrocolloid gels as model foods with varying mastication and swallowing difficulties
Mouthful Size Effects on Mastication Effort of Various Hydrocolloid Gels Used as Food Models
TLDR
The results suggest that the mastication effort can be estimated quantitatively for hydrogels with wide range of texture if a small enough mouthful size is consumed.

TLDR
The study indicated that the group for electromyographic data acquisition can be formulated from the subjects of both genders with age varying from 18 to 30 years.
Properties of the Masseter and Digastric Muscles During Swallowing of Agar Gels of Different Sizes
The effects of agar gel sample size on chewing and swallowing muscle properties were investigated by electromyography and sensory evaluation. Crushed agar gel and cubic agar gels of 3.5mm (3.5mm…
Effect of Tapioca Starch Content on Physical and Mastication Properties of Japanese White Salted Noodles
We examined the physical properties of Japanese white salted noodles consisting of 0, 6, 10 and 15% esterified tapioca starch and boiled for 13 min, as well as their palatability and mastication…
Effects of Milling Ratio and Water‐to‐Rice Ratio on Mastication Effort for Cooked Rice Measured by Electromyography
The objective of this study was to quantify the mastication effort for cooked rice with varying texture. We conducted electromyography (EMG) from both masseter muscles while normal subjects ate 6 g…
Physical Properties and Texture of Japanese White Salted Noodles Mixed with Tapioca Starch
We examined whether Japanese white salted noodles mixed with 6% esterified tapioca starch would be a suitable food for the elderly. Samples studied were noodles prepared with wheat flour which had…
Studies of food stickiness in relation to oral processing
TLDR
This project investigated food stickiness and its effects on oral experience using three approaches: instrumental characterization, sensory assessment, and oral physiological analysis.
Electromyographic evaluation of masseter muscle activity in horses fed (i) different types of roughage and (ii) maize after different hay allocations.
TLDR
In contrast to roughage, concentrates like CM are consumed rapidly with less intensive masseter muscle activity, and this situation is associated with a low salivary flow that may have an adverse effect on gastric function.

Mastication Effort Estimated by Electromyography for Cooked Rice of Differing Water Content
TLDR
It was not difficult for the softer rice with high density to be ingested in greater weight, decreasing the mastication effort for a certain amount, and the ratio of jaw-opening muscle activity to the preceding jaw-closing muscle activity was lower for the rice containing least water, this corresponding to the area ratio (balance degree) in the instrumental test.

Textural Evaluation of Rice Cake by Chewing and Swallowing Measurements on Human Subjects
TLDR
Observations suggest that swallowing was induced when the bolus properties became suitable for swallowing, as healthy subjects could adjust their mastication technique according to the food amount and texture.
Electromyographic study on cooked rice with different amylose contents
The texture of six varieties of cooked rice with different amylose contents was measured with a Texturometer. Masticatory behavior of the rice was evaluated using electromyography (EMG) of…
Electromyographic Response of the Labial Muscles during Normal Liquid Swallows Using a Spoon, a Straw, and a Cup
TLDR
Significant intrasubject and intersubject variability in labial function occurred during liquid removal using a drinking implement and during the oral swallow in 11 normal adult females.
Characterization of Food Physical Properties by the Mastication Parameters Measured by Electromyography of the Jaw-Closing Muscles and Mandibular Kinematics in Young Adults
TLDR
The relationship between the physical properties of solid food and the masticatory parameters is clarified, except for one combination in which thephysical properties under large and extra-large deformations were similar, despite different breaking properties or small deformation properties.
The effects of taste and consistency on swallow physiology in younger and older healthy individuals: a surface electromyographic study.
TLDR
Results revealed that the start of submental muscle activation was significantly later in older participants than in younger participants, and a more pronounced effect of taste was manifested as earlier submental or infrahyoid muscle activation when the three tastants were added to a thicker consistency.
MECHANISMS OF FOOD REDUCTION, TRANSPORT AND DEGLUTITION: HOW THE TEXTURE OF FOOD AFFECTS FEEDING BEHAVIOR
TLDR
The results show that the texture dependent parts of the feeding sequence are those associated with food breakdown (processing/chewing) and with OPAT and there is a general pattern of response to foods of different initial consistency/texture.
Influences of Thermal and Gustatory Characteristics on Sensory and Motor Aspects of Swallowing
TLDR
The sweet and tasteless foods were somewhat more acceptable for swallowing than the sour and bitter foods, however, none of the foods differentially altered the motor parameters of swallowing.
