The concept behind this book is to take a holistic view of food
texture, starting with the determination of food texture, its
perception in the mouth, and its measurement by both sensory and
instrumental methods, and to examine the relation
between them. The book has been divided
into four sections:  Fundamentals, Sensory
and Human Interactions, Instrumental Analysis, and Food
Products. Essentially we cover the techniques used for
measuring food texture, and then apply them to
the different product groups. Readers of
the first edition will notice the title has changed, with the
adoption of the term texturology. In the long history
of food texture research, texturology has been
occasionally used in literature. The
term texturology has not been widely accepted by
texture researchers (texturologists) because of their concern over
whether the theories and techniques are broad and strong enough to
support texture research as a scientific discipline. During the 24
years since the publication of the first edition, the editors have
observed vast developments in theories as well as the assessment
methodology of food texture (both sensory and instrumental) and
these have shaped our understanding. This second edition brings the
science up to date by introducing topics not previously covered
(e.g. psychophysics, tribology, oral processing,
texture maps and special foods for dysphagia patients). It
includes an exposé of the instruments to measure food
texture, and also considers techniques for measuring consumer
perception of food texture (in addition to the sensory
properties). Additionally, it amends omissions
from the first edition such as dairy
products;Â fish;Â bakery products; and, sugar
confectionery, asproduct groups. All in all it
is expanded and updated in its coverage of food
texturology, as a coherent scientific discipline.
