Abstract

Background/Aims: A study designed to examine the importance of the sensory attributes of oral nutritional supplements on prefe- rence and likelihood of compliance. Materials and Methods: Independent individuals ≥ 50 years not currently receiving oral nut- ritional supplements were recruited to a two-stage, single-blind, randomised, preference study, conducted in four European countri- es. Stage 1 consisted of a 5-day trial period during which two units of commonly prescribed oral nutritional supplements were ad- ministered, with a different oral nutritional supplements being consumed each day. In Stage 2, all participants consumed two units daily of one oral nutritional supplements for five days and two units daily of a second oral nutritional supplements for a further fi- ve days. Using standardised hedonic scales, participants reported their perceptions of each oral nutritional supplements for a ran- ge of sensory attributes, and estimated how many units of each oral nutritional supplements they could consume. Results: One thou- sand seven hundred seventy one individuals completed the study. The overall opinion of each oral nutritional supplements was strongly correlated with taste (r=0.91; p<0,0001), while unit volume demonstrated a weak relationship (r =0,29; p<0,0001). One oral nutritional supplements (Reformulated Ensure Plus) was preferred overall, scoring significantly higher for taste (p<0,05) and oral sensation (p<0,05) than other oral nutritional supplements. Conclusions: This study contributes to the understanding of how sen- sory attributes, particularly taste and oral sensation, influence preference and compliance to oral nutritional supplements

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Oral beslenme destek ürünleri özgü duyusal niteliklerin tercih ve uyum açısından önemini değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntem: İki aşamalı, tek-kör randomize tasarımlı bu tercih belirleme çalışmasına dört Avrupa ülkesinden, halihazırda oral bes- lenme destek ürünleri kullanmayan 50 yaş ve üzeri serbest yaşayan bireyler dahil edildi. İlk aşamada, katılımcılara 5 günlük bir deneme periyodu boyunca her biri günde iki ünite ve her gün bir başka marka olmak üzere yaygın olarak reçetelendirilmekte olan oral beslenme destek ürünleri örnekleri verildi. İkinci aşamada katılımcılar günde iki ünite olmak üzere ilk 5 gün bir oral beslen- me destek ürünleri, takip eden ikinci 5 gün ise başka bir oral beslenme destek ürünleri örneği kullandı. Katılımcıların, çeşitli du- yusal özellikler bağlamında, her bir oral beslenme destek ürünleri örneğine özgü algıları ve her örnekten kaç ünite tüketebildikleri kaydedildi. Bulgular: Toplam 1771 kişi çalışmayı tamamladı. Oral beslenme destek ürünleri hakkındaki genel görüşlerin tat ile güçlü (r=0,91; p<0,0001), birim hacim ile ise zayıf (r =0,29; p<0,0001) korelasyon gösterdiği görüldü. Kullanılan oral beslenme destek ünitelerinden biri (reformüle Ensure Plus) diğerlerine göre daha çok tercih edildiği ve tat (p<0,05) ve ağızda bıraktığı his (p<0,05) açısından daha yüksek skorlarla ilişkili olduğu görüldü. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma oral beslenme destek ünitelerine özgü du- yusal niteliklerin, başta tat ve ağızda bıraktıkları his olmak üzere tercih ve uyuma olan etkilerinin anlaşılmasına katkıda bulun- maktadır
