Oral processing refers to the series of physical, chemical, and biological processes inside the oral cavity when we consume food. This process affects the taste, quality, and nutrient absorption of the body. In the human diet, oral processing plays a crucial role because it impacts not only the food flavor and texture but also the absorption and utilization of nutrients. With the progress of science and technology and the increasing demand for food, the study of oral processing has become increasingly important. This paper reviews the history and definition of oral processing, its current state of research, and its applications in food science and technology, focusing on personalized taste customization, protein structure modification, food intake and nutrition, and bionic devices. It also analyzes the impact of oral processing on different types of food products and explores its potential in the food industry and science research.
口腔加工是指我们在进食时，口腔内一系列物理、化学和生物学过程。这一过程影响食物的味道、质地和身体对营养的吸收。在人类饮食中，口腔加工起着至关重要的作用，因为它不仅影响食物的口感和质地，还影响营养物质的吸收和利用。随着科学技术的进步和对食品需求的增加，口腔加工的研究变得越来越重要。本文综述了口腔加工的历史和定义、研究现状及其在食品科学技术中的应用，重点介绍了个性化口味定制、蛋白质结构修饰、食物摄入和营养以及仿生设备。本文还分析了口腔加工对不同类型食品的影响，探讨了其在食品工业和科学研究中的潜力。
