Added Soluble Fiber Enhances the Satiating Power of Low-Energy-Density Liquid Yogurts

Satiety-relevant sensory qualities enhance the satiating effects of mixed carbohydrate-protein preloads

“…Studies that report significant effects of added gum alone use substantially higher amounts-for example, 12 g guar gum increased the satiating efficiency of a high-fat soup (33). Likewise, enhanced satiety was reported after addition of 12 g inulin in a protein-rich beverage (34), although other studies failed to find fiber and protein more satiating than protein alone (28). Taken together, these various findings cannot fully discount an explanation in terms of possible postingestive effects of tara gum, but they do suggest that an orosensory explanation is more plausible.…”

Relationship between Whole-Grain Intake, Chronic Disease Risk Indicators, and Weight Status among Adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004

“…Results from research studies suggest that high fiber consumption may suppress appetite, reduce energy intake, and enhance satiety (21,22). Wholegrain foods can be a good source of fiber, which may explain why whole-grain consumption was linked to better weight outcomes in these previous studies (1,3,20).…”

β-Glucan and Dark Chocolate: A Randomized Crossover Study on Short-Term Satiety and Energy Intake

“…Addition of dietary fiber to energy-dense foods has been shown to be a successful strategy in development of healthy products [1,2,3,4]. Recent research has documented that soluble and viscous fiber in oat and barley slows gastric emptying and enhances the satiety feeling [5,6].…”
