Abstract:
An edible composition of matter having an apparent viscosity of from about 150 cP to about 2000 cP at about 30 s−1; a yield stress of from 0 Pa to about 20 Pa at 1 s; and a flow index of from about 0.2 to about 0.6. The composition may include an imaging agent. The compositions are useful for providing sustenance to dysphagic subjects and for evalualuating dysphagia.
