| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to an in vitro method modeling and measuring the consistency generated in vivo by a food during the digestion thereof. The method includes the steps of grinding the food to reproduce the mechanical breakdown performed during chewing, mixing under stirring of the ground food with a solution modeling gastric fluid in a reactor vessel coupled with a rheometer for a time corresponding to gastric digestion, and adjustment under stirring of the reaction mixture to model intestinal digestion conditions for a time corresponding to intestinal digestion, wherein the rheometer is provided with a stirrer used to homogenize the mixture and measure the viscosity and/or the viscoelasticity thereof. |
