Summary

Brief Summary: This study aims to investigate whether protein fortification of foods and beverages causes mouthdrying and mucoadhesion and whether this is influenced by age and saliva flow.

Conditions

  • Individual Difference
  • Food Sensitivity
  • Food Preferences

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Solid Model

Cupcakes will be used, with the amount of protein varied to study the effect on perception of the products (using sensory methods rating drying and discrimination tests 'which is the stronger in drying'). Measuring mucoadhesion via protein content remaining in saliva samples following consumption of cupcakes.

BEHAVIORAL

Liquid Model

To study the perception of whey protein beverages using repeated consumption sensory methods (e.g. rating mouthdrying over repeated sips of the drink).
