Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to an in vitro system for automatic chewing of solid and semi-solid food intended to simulate the human chewing process of a food sample, comprising a lower toothed ring and an upper toothed ring; and further comprising a force lever consisting of an arm from which a lead weight hangs, which is moved along the arm via the traction exerted by an electric motor controlled by a microcontroller board, which is connected by a spindle to the upper toothed ring; and wherein the shearing action is provided by an electric motor controlled by a microprocessor board which is connected to the shaft of the upper toothed ring via a chain. A second objective of the invention comprises a method for automatic chewing with controlled force and a specific number of chewing cycles and shear angle. |
