Journal of Integrated Satiety Systems Publishes VLA-204 Sensory Analysis
A 52-week analysis describes how taste and appetite adapt to a fully programmed day.
VELDENZA LIFE CAMPUS, June 18.
The Journal of Integrated Satiety Systems has published “Sensory Adaptation During Integrated Appetite Support: A 52-Week Observational Analysis,” from the VLA-204 Study Group at the Veldenza Institute for Appetite and Everyday Nutrition.
The analysis describes how participants’ senses adapted over a year of fully programmed eating. In blinded tastings at week 52, four in five participants in the integrated program could not tell programmed meals apart. The authors describe this as a high degree of sensory harmony between participant and product.
The analysis also reports that participants turned towards unprogrammed food aromas more quickly over time, from a median of 6.2 seconds at baseline to 1.4 seconds at week 52. The authors note that this reflects a healthy, alert interest in the food environment, and recommend further observation.
Key findings
- Four in five participants could not distinguish programmed meals in blinded tastings
- Taste Differentiation Index fell by a mean of 38%
- Orientation latency to unprogrammed aromas shortened from 6.2 to 1.4 seconds
