Patent

CA 2700717

A food product that is suitable for an elderly person or a person who has difficulty in chewing or swallowing is obtained by impregnating a material with an enzyme, said food product having a smooth texture and sufficient softness to be crushed by the gums or tongue in the mouth, while maintaining the natural shape and color of the material. The food product has a compressive strength of 5 × 10 4 N/m2 or lower when measured at a compression rate of 10 mm/sec by using a plunger with a diameter of 3 mm and setting the clearance at 30% of the thickness of the specimen.

L'invention vise à proposer un matériau alimentaire qui est approprié pour des personnes âgées et pour des patients ayant des problèmes de mastication/déglutition. A ce titre, le matériau alimentaire cible, qui conserve la forme et la teinte naturelles d'un matériau de départ, a une mollesse telle qu'elle permet un écrasement avec la gencive ou la langue dans la cavité buccale et une texture lisse, et présente une contrainte en compression de 5 x 104 N/m2, ou moins, lorsqu'on la mesure à l'aide d'un plongeur de 3 mm de diamètre à un taux de compression de 10 mm/seconde, tout en établissant une clairance à 30 % de l'épaisseur d'échantillon. Le matériau alimentaire est obtenu par traitement enzymatique du matériau de départ par imprégnation avec une enzyme.
