Overview

The main theme of this lecture is to explore food properties that can provide happiness while eating. In the food development, it is important to accurately evaluate the processability of agricultural products, physicochemical properties of food materials, quality and texture of food and dishes at the stage where they can be actually consumed. For this there are various evaluation techniques from basic to applied, traditional to cutting edge, such as instrumental analysis of the mechanical properties, eating sensation evaluation by humans during ingestion etc. New methods for evaluation of food texture will be introduced in this lecture.
