Food physics

the point at which a chewed bolus becomes swallowable, modelled as the moment particle size and cohesion from saliva make it safe to swallow.

In food physics, swallowing threshold refers to the point at which a chewed bolus becomes swallowable, modelled as the moment particle size and cohesion from saliva make it safe to swallow. This meaning comes from Prinz (1997) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences.[1]
