Mastication is a physiological process whereby food is comminuted and mixed with saliva to form a swallowable bolus; it is also the initial process for retronasal aroma that is released from foods to receptors in the nose. However, the influence of mastication state on retronasal aroma is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between aroma concentration and factors related to mastication state.

Materials And Methods: This study consisted of 87 partially edentulous patients (57 females, 30 males; mean age, 69.41 ± 8.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate tongue movement and its biomechanical effects during squeezing, one of the oral strategies for processing soft foods, by tongue pressure sensors, videofluorography, and surface electromyography.
Design: Fifteen healthy men (mean age, 31.0 ± 4.
Background: Movement of the hyoid and laryngeal complex is critical for preventing aspiration, as well as smooth bolus passage through the pharynx. We have developed a non-invasive system for measuring laryngeal movement during swallowing with a bend sensor and have already reported the time coordination between the signal waveform from the sensor and hyoid movement.
Objective: The aim of this study was to clarify the quantitative association between the output value of the sensor and hyoid movement during swallowing.
