• Lead Sponsor: University of California, Davis

Brief Summary

Acceptability and tolerance of a new food product in adults and children.

Detailed Description

Acceptability and tolerance testing will be conducted in 10 healthy male adult volunteers and 10 (40 - 60 years of age), and in children (9-13 years of age). All participants will be asked to consume 50g of a test product every day for 2 weeks for the adult volunteers, while the children will be asked to consume the same product every day for one week. The participants will record amount of daily intake, and will be given an entry and exit surveys. These surveys will include the assessment of potential gastrointestinal changes with daily product intake, and will include questions on how they liked the product. Acceptability will be measured as the number of servings and portion of serving completed each day over the trial period.

In adults only, fasting blood samples and a spot urine will be collected towards preliminary work on potential changes in the metabolome and lipidome with the inclusion of the test product within the habitual diet.
