Provided is an evaluation method for evaluating the texture of food or a medicine disintegrable in the oral cavity, such as an orally disintegrable tablet or tablet candy, by imitating the environment in the oral cavity. Further provided is an evaluation apparatus for evaluating the texture of food or a medicine disintegrable in the oral cavity, such as an orally disintegrable tablet or tablet candy, by imitating the environment in the oral cavity. The texture evaluation method for an orally disintegrable test object according to one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a measurement device gives prescribed distortion at a prescribed cycle to the orally disintegrable test object while applying prescribed pressure to the test object, and measures the loss tangent of the test object over time by adding a prescribed amount of a test liquid to the test object.在此提供一種仿照口腔內環境且用於評價具有口腔內崩解性之醫藥品或食品的口感的評價方法，此醫藥品或食品為口腔內崩解錠或錠狀點心等。並且提供一種仿照口腔內環境且用於評價具有口腔內崩解性之醫藥品或食品的口感的評價裝置，此醫藥品或食品為口腔內崩解錠或錠狀點心等。本發明中一實施形態之具有口腔內崩解性之檢測樣本的口感評價方法，包括：令量測裝置一邊對具有口腔內崩解性之檢測樣本施加指定的壓力，一邊以指定的周期給予前述檢測樣本指定的應變（strain），且添加指定量的試驗液至前述檢測樣本，並隨時間量測前述檢測樣本的損耗正切（loss tangent）。
