Abstract
A description is given of a colorimetric method to measure the masticatory function. It is based on the release of dye when chewing raw carrots. Information is given about the reproducibility of the method. The procedure takes 30 min for eight tests on one subject and can be carried out with standard laboratory equipment.Keywords
