Liquid Foods

The description of the texture of food that is in liquid form is divided into a series of categories. There are a number of typical expressions for texture that are used for foods in each of the categories. Many of these expressions reflect the complexity of the sensory experience and incorporate psychological and physiological factors.

Drinks that incorporate different textural elements derived from more semisolid food and carbonation, formation of foam, gelation, and temperature differences can display surprising effects—for example, in a special laminar coffee.
