Measuring satiating effects of food products in humans
 |
Companies are looking for new food products that combine liking with limited food intake due to enhanced satiety signals. This should lead to increased feelings of fullness during or in between meal consumption. NIZO food research is able to measure satiation (intra-meal satiety) and satiety (inter-meal satiety) using qualitative and quantitative tools. The satiating product is consumed as a preload by a well-defined panel of consumers in a double blind placebo-controlled randomized cross over full factorial design. The panelists record their appetite profile, i.e. feelings of hunger, fullness, satiety, desire to eat and thirst on visual analogue scales (VAS). In addition, their energy intake is measured in an ad libitum meal. This set-up allows to determine whether a product containing a specific ingredient is more satiating than the placebo product. Furthermore, NIZO food research is able to integrate your satiating ingredient to a food matrix using its pilot plant facility. |
