Abstract:The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of particle size, texture, and gastric viscosity on food gastric disintegration and emptying rates. In vitro dynamic gastric digestion was conducted for carrots using a dynamic gastric simulation model. The changes in the texture of carrots and other foods as indicated by bulk resistance, the percent solids emptied, and the particle size distribution were used as parameters to study disintegration kinetics and emptying patterns. The influence of visc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
