Addressing obesity issues by generating satiety in food to reduce energy intake has been one of those prominent strategies and often textural interventions have been used to generate satiety, specifically in short-term trials. A new work titled “Effects of oral lubrication on satiety, satiation and salivary biomarkers in model foods: A pilot study” has been published in Appetite, Volume…
Welcome back Dr. Andrea Araiza-Calahorra to the lab. Dr. Calahorra finished her PhD at University of Leeds, UK in Food Colloids. She is re-joining Sarkar Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Eat4Age Project), where she will collaborate with partners from Norway, France, Ireland and Israel to design healthy and lubricious food for older adults. The…
