Brief Summary

Smelling of the vegetable juice resulted in a decrease in appetite and feeling of hunger, and reduced the number of minutes for eating, whereas the odor of miso soup increased secretion of saliva. No significant difference was observed between the tested odors regarding food intake and eating speed. The correlation between the preference of the odor and each value revealed that preference for odors had a greater impact on appetite and feeling of hunger than the differences in food odors.
