Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Palatability (liking) of the ONS products will be evaluated with an 11-point<br /><br>categorical scale ranging from not like at all, to like very much. Each product<br /><br>will be evaluated for overall liking, liking of taste, liking of sweetness,<br /><br>liking of creamy flavour, liking of texture, and liking of aftertaste. In<br /><br>addition, 5-point just-about-right scales (JAR) are used to evaluate the<br /><br>appropriateness of the thickness and the intensity of the taste, sweetness,<br /><br>creamy flavour, and aftertaste. Palatability questions will be completed after<br /><br>consumption of one sip and after a full portion. </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary parameters include perceived satiety (prior to consumption, directly<br /><br>after consumption of a full portion and at 1 and 2 hours post consumption) and<br /><br>drivers of liking (i.e. sensory aspects, emotions and functional attributes<br /><br>associated with the product). </p><br>
