Effects of sensory stimulation and post-ingestive consequences on satiation.
This study investigated the influence of sensory stimulation, with and without post-ingestive consequences, on satiation by varying the form of a preload and the timing of a mixed meal presented after the preload. Twenty-four, normal-weight, non-dieting, college-aged women were randomized to different preload groups: water preload (Water), sip-and-spit energy-dense preload (Taste), or energy-dense preload (Taste/kcal). Volume of fluid consumed prior to the meal was controlled. All participants had sessions in which a meal was provided immediately (0 min) or 30 min after the preload. Results showed equal suppression of intake for participants receiving sensory stimulation from an energy-dense preload (Taste and Taste/kcal groups) in comparison to a water preload (Water group). No effect of time from preload to food consumption was found; the suppression of intake was similar whether the meal immediately followed the preload or was 30 min after the preload. These findings suggest that sensory aspects of food can influence satiation, and in the conditions of this study, had a larger influence on satiation than post-ingestive consequences.
