Key Points

The research investigates how different characteristics of gummies affect mastication and swallowing in healthy elderly individuals.
Study conducted with a diverse group of healthy elderly people.
Participants tested various gummy types to assess mastication and swallowing efficiency.
Oral function evaluated using standardized measures.
Gummy characteristics significantly influenced mastication, with softer gummies leading to easier chewing (p<0.05).
Swallowing function improved with specific gummy types, showing an increase in swallowing efficiency rates.
Overall satisfaction and comfort during consumption were higher for the more pliable gummy varieties.
