Effect of bite size and oral processing time of a semisolid food on satiation

This 2015 article emphasizes the influences of various food properties on several outcomes. Food form in particular can impact nutritional outcomes through multiple mechanisms involving cognitive and oral sensory processes, and stomach and intestine activity. Dhillon et al. explain that holding expectations about the form of food can determine digestive processes, metabolism occurring after absorption, […]

Although the processes behind the control of homeostatic feeding (required for basic metabolic processes and survival) and hedonic feeding (related to sensory perception or pleasure) are often considered separately, Rossi & Stuber (2018) believe there is a link between the two. Data indicate that many neural circuits that govern feeding behavior also are involved in […]
