English term or phrase: structural coarseness
The inventor explains that the sound produced by rubbing or tapping the tongue against the food is caused by the same vibrations of the tissue that are sensed by the mechanoreceptors in the tongue that signal the sensation of roughness, stickiness, structural coarseness of any food (fluid, semi-solid and solid).

voedselstructuur


Explanation:
Ideetje, levert wel wat op als je googelt op voedselstructuur (naar mijn mening hoeft daar het woord 'grofheid (van voedselstructuur)' niet meer bij, want dat vind ik al onderdeel uitmaken van 'structuur'.

neutral  Lianne van de Ven: Het klinkt wel logisch, maar in hoe dit in het Engels wordt gezegd ligt de nadruk eigenlijk op de grofheid en niet echt op de structuur, dus dit lijkt me te algemeen. Voedselstructuur verwijst naar alle aspecten van de structuur: http://is.gd/1K47AC
