This article is completely insane. I think the word the author was looking for is, "texture." Without citations that any English speaker uses this term, I am inclined to believe that what we are looking at is a literal translation of yet another German compound word in the vein of Schadenfreude. Except that we have a word with the same meaning, and that word is, "texture."

I think it's a recognised specialist term to do with texture in food and drink. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on whether it's "mouthfeel" or "mouth feel" - the second gets more Google results, but some are misleading because they're for things like "why do breath mints make my mouth feel cool?"

The link is well dead and their archive beginns with the 1.1.1994. Does anybody still have the 'Starter'? DrJunge —Preceding comment was added at 12:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Just to add in my own $0.02, "mouthfeel" is a word commonly used throughout both research and industry involving the chemical senses, not just a poor literal translation. Smirkster 14:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

That sounds an awful lot like like Newspeak. 76.180.120.161 12:56, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
