Flavor enhancement as a strategy to improve food liking in cancer patients with taste and smell alterations
Clinical Nutrition Open Science(2023)
Abstract
Food liking is an essential component of the food intake experience. However, some conditions may alter the perception, thus the liking of food, leading to a reduced intake and increasing the risk of malnutrition. Particularly, in the context of cancer and related therapies, malnutrition is a major challenge with 25%–80% of cancer patients experiencing malnutrition at different degrees. The aim of the present exploratory study was to examine the effect of flavor enhancement on food liking in a group of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and with varying self-reported taste/smell abilities.
