“…Thus, future study should use less than 150 g and more than 250 g rice. In a related point, previous studies have used larger dishes (22)(23)(24)27) ; it is possible that larger difference in bowl size may lead to greater effect of bowl size on intake amount.…”

“…According to a systematic review, the difference in food consumption between small and large plate conditions was marginally statistically significant, but effect magnitude was small because of inconsistent results ( 26 ) ; subgroup analysis suggested that participant characteristics (weight status), type of dish (plate or bowl), place of experiment (outside or inside a laboratory) and food type (snack or main meal) may influence these results. In other studies, sex and nationality influenced the relationship between dish size and food consumption, but there are few studies on this in Asian countries, including Japan ( 27 ) .…”

“…Previous research has shown some cross‐cultural differences in the sensory expectations concerning solid foods. For example, Peng et al () recently reported that manipulating the size of the plate (i.e., creating larger vs. smaller portion illusions) has no effect on the expected fullness or the estimated intake of Chinese and Koreans consumers, as compared to significant effects in those participants from Canada and New Zealand. Therefore, future studies will also be needed in order to examine any cross‐cultural difference in the influence of receptacles on the perception of food.…”

Two experiments were designed to investigate the effect of plate color and plate size on taste expectations, subjective ratings of, and willingness‐to‐pay for, Asian noodles and Italian pastas. Chinese participants viewed photographs of these foods served on plates of different colors and sizes, rated their liking, familiarity, taste expectations for the foods, and indicated how much they would be willing to pay for them. The foods were presented against the backdrop of store‐bought or computer‐edited colored plates. Presenting the food on white plates resulted in the highest familiarity scores. Interestingly, the participants were willing to pay approximately 16% more for the same quantity of Asian noodles when served on smaller (rather than larger) plates. Different patterns of results were observed with two types of Italian pasta that the Chinese participants were less familiar with, suggesting a moderating role of the familiarity people have with the foods. Practical applications The present study provides novel findings concerning the influence of plateware on Asian noodles, a commonly eaten food in many Asian countries. The findings suggest a fundamental difference between the role of plateware in the subjective ratings of, and taste expectations concerning, regularly consumed familiar and unfamiliar foods as in the present study and the snack food in previous studies. These findings are therefore relevant to those researchers and practitioners interested in how the receptacle, as an important contextual factor, influences consumers' perception and consumption of foods. These findings also have direct implications for those serving food in restaurants.

Visual cues and food intake: Distortion power of plate and spoon size on overweight and obese university staff

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of the size of plate, spoon, and fork on food and energy intake during a meal in obese or overweight staff. Methods: This was a crossover randomized controlled trial that was conducted on 40 obese or overweight clerical staff of the university. The staff was invited to have lunch randomly, receiving either a large or a small set of plate, spoon, and fork. Washout period was 3 weeks, and the participants were then invited to have lunch in a second intervention period and received opposite sizes of dishes compared to the first period sizes. The meal was composed of roasted chicken (kebab), cooked rice, vegetable salad, dairy drink, and soda. Changes in food intake between large and small utensils (plate, spoon, and fork) were analyzed with paired t -test. Results: Rice intake using small or large eating utensils was different ( P = 0.02). But total energy intake was not different. The Pearson correlation test demonstrated a positive and significant correlation between rice consumption and waist-to-hip ratio ( P = 0.02). Soda ( P = 0.02), carbohydrate ( P = 0.01), and total energy intake ( P = 0.03) were negatively correlated with the age of the participant. Conclusions: It seems that only the amount of grain products consumption changes with changing in dishware size with no significant effect on total energy intake. It is recommended that the independent effect of visual cues on food intake for foods with different textures be investigated in future studies.
