Research progress on the application of polysaccharides in dysphagia food
As the ability of chewing and swallowing decreased,dysphagia has become one of the important factors af-fecting the physical and mental health of the elderly.Dysphagia food is a mainstay of compensatory intervention for indi-vidual with swallowing disorder,which could be obtained through processing including chopping or food thickeners ad-dition.Modification of the rheological and textural properties of food by polysaccharide-based thickener is one of the key dysphagia management strategies to reduce the risk of aspiration during swallowing,hence widely used in the treatment and care of patients with dysphagia.Trends based on population ageing,this article discusses the research status,evalua-tion standards,and application status of polysaccharides in dysphagia food at home and abroad.The aim is to provide reference for the creation of specialized food for patients with dysphagia in China.
