Abstract
This project will exploit the unique capabilities of MRI to assess the intragastric processing of complex viscous meals non-invasively. The understanding that the project yields will enable food manufacturers to preserve the desirable properties of whole foods in processed foods. We will develop non-invasive measures of intragastric hydration, flow rates, motility, emptying and shear forces and will relate these parameters to viscosity and other physical properties of the meal and the sense of satiety they induce.
