Abstract: Dysphagia is a common health problem, the term describing a range of mechanical disorders that affect the safety, efficiency, or quality of eating and drinking. In dysphagia, every swallowing attempt bears the danger of choking and aspiration of liquids or food particles into the lung. Generally, when patients experience difficulties in swallowing, food thickeners are used to comply with clinically required levels of viscosity of liquid/semisolid products for use in nutrition for such patients. Herein, food thickening compositions as well as their use and applications are disclosed.
