Why chocolate feels so good: It is all down to lubrication by University of Leeds Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible. By analyzing each of the steps,...
New paper titled “Insights into the Multiscale Lubrication Mechanism of Edible Phase Change Materials” by Dr. Siavash Soltanahmadi (Postdoctoral Fellow, ERC LubSat Project) is out in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. In oral phase, a phase change for foods often occurs in a sequence of dynamic interactions between the ingested phase change materials (PCM) and oral surfaces from...
