Symposium 'understanding and managing satiety: processes and opportunities'

Abstract

This brief report summarises a framework for understanding satiety presented at the 13th European Nutrition Conference, FENS 2019 - Malnutrition in an Obese World: European Perspectives. Aspects of satiety phenotyping and role of food hedonics in satiation are considered in the context of appetite control and obesity. Almonds are evaluated for their unique composition and structure which affect their behaviour in the human gastrointestinal tract. Their role in appetite control and management of satiety has been explored.

Keywords: almonds; food structure; satiety.
