The physical properties of food, particularly its texture, play a crucial role in determining satiety, palatability, and consumer satisfaction. Beyond taste, the mechanical characteristics of foods influence digestion and the perception of fullness. Food Texture and Satiety Response explores the scientific connection between food structure and physiological satiety mechanisms. The book discusses rheological properties, mastication patterns, and sensory evaluation techniques. It also highlights the impact of processing methods on texture modification and appetite regulation. Drawing from nutrition science and food engineering, it provides practical insights for product developers aiming to design foods that support healthy eating behaviors.
