“…Seven groups of synonymous descriptors were formed: "adhesiveness/sticky," "brittle/friability" "doughy/pasty/plummy," "fatty/greasy/oily," "floury/farinaceous/ mealy," "grainy/gritty," and "soft/smooth" which resulted in 54 specific descriptors (or groups of synonyms) of the oral texture. The combination of adhesiveness and sticky was also proposed by Pascua The detailed list of these descriptors is presented in Table 3 Adeola & Ohizua, 2018; Bernklau et al, 2017;Booth et al, 2003;Bustos et al, 2011;Cordelino et al, 2019;Dijksterhuis et al, 2007;Fern andez-Sestelo et al, 2013;Fiszman et al, 2015;Hama-ba et al, 2018;Heenan et al, 2009;Komolka et al, 2016;Ledeker et al, 2014;Martínez et al, 2002;Martinez et al, 2007;Martins et al, doughy and pasty/plummy as well as floury, farinaceous, and mealy because it seem clear that these words have a very similar definition.…”
