There is one clinical trial.
Brief Summary: This study aims to investigate whether protein fortification of beverages causes mouthdrying and mucoadhesion and whether this is influenced by saliva flow.
Description: Following swallowing of different whey beverage samples (whey protein / whey permeate), volunteers will be asked either to rate samples for mouthdrying or to spit their saliva into a tube at specific timepoints (15s & 60s) with appropriate rest periods. The rating and spitting times will be set within a balanced order protocol.
Measure: Mucoadhesion and Mouthdrying Time: Saliva collection and mouthdrying scoring throughout visits, 2 daysDescription: Perceived mouth drying from whey beverages (whey permeate / whey protein) using data from sensory methods (rating drying as well as discrimination tests "which is the stronger in drying"). Scale for scoring is the gLMS scale (general linear magnitude scale); higher value is worse outcome.
Measure: Mouthdrying from whey beverages Time: 1 day (Sampled at study visit one)Description: Volunteers will be asked to manipulate their saliva flow and consume whey beverages (whey permeate / whey protein) and score perceived mouth drying (data will be collected from sensory methods (rating drying as well as discrimination tests "which is the stronger in drying")
Measure: Manipulating saliva flow and mouthdrying from whey beverages Time: 1 day (Sampled at study visit one)Description: Salivary flow rates from unstimulated and stimulated saliva samples.
Measure: Saliva collection Time: 1 day (Sampled at study visit two)
