U.S., Feb. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07438028) titled 'Energy Reduction and Umami' on Feb. 20.
Brief Summary: People tend to regulate intake by the weight of food rather than its energy content, making energy dense foods, especially those combining salty, fatty, and umami tastes, more likely to promote passive overconsumption. Lowering energy density can reduce daily energy intake, but often decreases palatability, whereas umami can enhance palatability, and sometimes decrease food intake. This suggests that adding umami to a regular energy dense diet could reduce food intake over time, and that adding umami to a reduced energy dense diet could sustain palatability and limit compensator...
