Title:
FOOD PHYSICAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/250167
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a food physical property assessment method that enables replication of property change of food in an oral cavity and acquisition of physical quantities corresponding to senses in the oral cavity. This food physical property assessment method involves: placing a food to be assessed on a lower occlusion part 21 of a lower tool 20 provided oppositely to an upper occlusion part 11 of an upper tool 10 and having a shape for generating occlusion with the upper occlusion part 11; linearly reciprocating at least one of the upper tool 10 and the lower tool 20 in a linear direction for causing occlusion or separation therebetween; rotationally reciprocating at least one of the upper tool 10 and the lower tool 20 in a rotational direction where the linear direction is set as a rotation axis; adjusting, by a means other than air pressure, pressure applied between the upper tool 10 and the lower tool 20; measuring physical quantities including a force and torque applied to the upper tool 10 or the lower tool 20; and assessing the properties of the food on the basis of the acquired physical quantities.
