Assessing a Polydextrose Containing Soup on Food Intake, Appetite and Biomarkers of Satiation and Satiety

This study will examine the impact of a soluble fibre (polydextrose) incorporated into a high fibre tomato soup on food intake (amount and choice), appetite ratings and biomarkers of satiation and satiety over 4-weeks. Specifically, the impact on the development of satiation within the fixed-load tomato soup containing the fibre, the development of satiety after the fixed-load meal containing fibre and intake at subsequent ad libitum meals will be examined as well as the insulin response and carbohydrate fermentation before and after 4-week dosing of the preload soup.
