Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims at comparing learning mechanisms to increase vegetable acceptance in infants at complementary feeding, namely repeated exposure (RE), flavor-flavor learning (FFL) and flavor-nutrient learning (FNL); measuring the stability of the learning effect; and examining the impact of infants' feeding history on vegetable acceptance.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RE group

Repeated consumption of artichoke purée. This group was exposed to basic artichoke puree from Exposure 1 to 10 (E1 to E10)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Repeated consumption of basic artichoke purée.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In this conditioning trial, the effect of repeated consumption of different types of artichoke purée was studied. In Arm 1, participants were repeatedly exposed to basic artichoke purée. In Arm 2, participants were repeatedly exposed to sweet artichoke purée. In Arm 3, participants were repeatedly exposed to fat artichoke purée. Change in intake and liking of basic artichoke purée was evaluated at baseline and after 10 exposures to artichoke purée ; and at 3 follow-ups: after 2 weeks (FU2W), after 3 months (FU3M) and after 6 months (FU6M).

FFL group

Repeated consumption of artichoke purée. This group (Flavor-flavor learning group) was exposed to sweet artichoke puree from Exposure 1 to 10 (E1 to E10).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Repeated consumption of sweet artichoke purée.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In this conditioning trial, the effect of repeated consumption of different types of artichoke purée was studied. In Arm 1, participants were repeatedly exposed to basic artichoke purée. In Arm 2, participants were repeatedly exposed to sweet artichoke purée. In Arm 3, participants were repeatedly exposed to fat artichoke purée. Change in intake and liking of basic artichoke purée was evaluated at baseline and after 10 exposures to artichoke purée ; and at 3 follow-ups: after 2 weeks (FU2W), after 3 months (FU3M) and after 6 months (FU6M).

FNL group

Repeated consumption of artichoke purée. This group (Flavor-nutrient learning group) was exposed to fat, energy-dense artichoke puree from Exposure 1 to 10 (E1 to E10).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Repeated exposure to fat artichoke purée.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
