Title:
ORAL SENSATION MEASURING DEVICE FOR FOODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/114136
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A probe is inserted at a predetermined speed into a food to be measured, and vibrations created by the insertion are acquired by a piezoelectric element. The vibrations are displayed, and the pulse number per unit time on the basis of the insertion speed of the probe is calculated so that the oral sensation of the food is qualitatively specified with the pulse number.
