What do you mean by palatable diet |
|
Answer» Palatability is the hedonic reward(i.e., pleasure) provided by foods or FLUIDS that are agreeable to the "palate", which often varies relative to the homeostatic satisfaction ofnutritional, water, or energyneeds. The palatability of a food or FLUID, unlike its FLAVOR or taste, varies with the state of an individual: it is LOWER afterconsumption and higher whendeprived. It has increasingly been appreciated that this can CREATE a hunger that is independent of homeostatic needs. |
