Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Palatability (liking) of the ONS products will be evaluated with an 11-point categorical scale ranging from not like at all, to like very much. Each product will be evaluated for overall liking, liking of taste, liking of sweetness, liking of creamy flavour, liking of texture, and liking of aftertaste. In addition, 5-point just-about-right scales (JAR) are used to evaluate the appropriateness of the thickness and the intensity of the taste, sweetness, creamy flavour, and aftertaste. Palatability questions will be completed after consumption of one sip and after a full portion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary parameters include perceived satiety (prior to consumption, directly after consumption of a full portion and at 1 and 2 hours post consumption) and drivers of liking (i.e. sensory aspects, emotions and functional attributes associated with the product). | — |
