meltable/dissolvable solids

Spanish translation: que se desintegren o derritan

English term or phrase: meltable/dissolvable solids
Hola a todos: este es un informe sobre un niño que tiene problemas de deglución. He intentado buscar dos adjetivos para describir los sólidos pero solo se me ocurre blando, soluble (pero me parece que es para otro contexto) y luego parafraseo con sólidos que se deshacen en la boca. He visto "derretible" pero no es una palabra aceptada. ¿Alguien tendrá alguna otra opción?

XX’s oral motor skills are impaired but functional for a diet of liquids and purees with progression to meltable/dissolvable solids. 

Muchas gracias a todos

Spanish translation:que se desintegren o derritan
Explanation:
Lo pondría así, con una parráfrasis. Con derretir pienso en cosas como helado o chocolate, con desintegrarse, purés o galletas que con la saliva se ablandan.

disagree  Agostina Benedetto: No me parece correcto porque en el caso de "meltable/dissolvable solids" entiendo que la persona hace el proceso, mientras que un sólido licuable necesita ayuda de un aparato para que la persona pueda deglutirlo/ingerirlo.

soluble + paráfrasis


Explanation:
Al igual que Mariana, yo lo explica con una paráfrasis. P. ej. sólidos solubles, de fácil desintegración/ sólidos solubles, que se desintegren con facilidad

Example sentence(s):
  • sólidos solubles, de fácil desintegración
  • sólidos solubles, que se desintegren con facilidad
