Measure
Modified Consistency and Volume Diet
Modified consistency diet, with a certain viscosity and controlled volume. The nectar consistency had a viscosity of 51 to 350 centiPoises (cP) and the pudding consistency menus with a higher viscosity at 1,750 cP. Modified consistency and volume diet: Modified consistency diet, with a certain viscosity and controlled volume, which was designed from recommendations based on the review of different studies. A Chef and a Nutritionist developed and determined the viscosity of the menus with a Brookfield Viscometer (model RV). All the menus were prepared and evaluated at the Food Technology Department of this Institute to achieve the viscosity required with a food thickener. The nectar consistency had a viscosity of 51 to 350 centiPoises (cP) and the pudding consistency menus with a higher viscosity at 1,750 cP. The patient and/or their caregivers in the intervention group must attend to a training workshop to explain how to use the food thickener.
