StrucSat – How structure affects satiety

StrucSat will ensure a more intelligent approach to developing highly palatable foods designed for weight management by understanding how food structure affects satiety and energy homeostasis.

Foods destined for weight management are most often products with reduced energy content. An alternative strategy is to develop food products with enhanced effects on satiety that can decrease food intake. Deliberate modification of food structure and texture can provide novel possibilities for affecting the eating rate, amount consumed and satiety as well as energy homeostasis.
