sensory-specific satiety, food variaty, changes in likingAbstract
Sensory specific satiety is defined as the decrease in liking for a food after its consumption, necessitating the examination of interactions between foods and changes in liking post-consumption. Various studies indicate that sensory-specific satiety stems from the sensory properties of the consumed food and that these liking changes occur rapidly during consumption. While diversity among foods can increase consumption, a monotonous diet may decrease long-term liking and influence food choices. Moreover, the presentation of various foods and individuals' ability to choose their own foods can enhance consumption desire and overall satisfaction. However, the effects of food monotony on body weight remain unclear, necessitating further research. In conclusion, the relationship between sensory-specific satiety and food variety is a significant factor influencing food intake and choice, requiring further exploration of its mechanisms.
