The fact that Malaysia is a developing nation with a rapidly aging population is
widely acknowledged. Dysphagia, or trouble swallowing and digesting, is becoming more
common as the population ages. It is important to emphasize that people who have
dysphagia need nutrient-rich foods with the right texture to help with intake and to provide
the necessary nutrients. As technology advances and becomes more sophisticated in
practically every aspect, gastronomy in food and cooking is not left behind in assisting the
elderly. The development of molecular gastronomy and gastropyhsic knowledge may be
able to improve the nutritional and feeding quality of life for elderly individuals. Due to
the dearth of knowledge on molecular gastronomy and gastrophysics in Malaysia, this
study able to add to the body of knowledge and provide useful information. Therefore, this
research will be conducted as an exploratory study, and since insight is needed, a mixed
method will be used, leading to the creation of an inspired product. This study will be
carried out to investigate the impact of hedonic qualities and acceptance of inspired food
products on the elderly. Perhaps the food development with current knowledge of
molecular gastronomy and gastrophysics could benefit in developing a splendid dish and
will be accepted by the elderly.
