Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study outcome is gastric emptying (and the variation in that measurement). Gastric emptying will be measured with a non-invasive breath test. The subject will come in fasting state to the research centre and ingest the test product which is labelled with 13C. The test foods consist of 2 experimental cooked foods, differing in energy content. Each food will be measured in duplicate. Breath samples will be collected before consumption of the food and at 15 minute intervals during 4-6 hours. Breath samples will be analyzed on concentration of 13C. 13C recovery (T1/2 and Tlag) will be used as a measure for gastric emptying.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary, appetite and wellbeing ratings will be measured during the test (Visual Analogue Scales).
