About this study

Official title: A Series of Studies on the Impact of Taste-aware Intelligent Analysis of Oral Nutritional Supplements on Patients' Nutritional Strategies

The goal of this observational study is to test the taste perception threshold and palatability interval of different populations and the difference in taste perception between tumor and stroke patients and healthy people by combining manual sensory evaluation and electronic bionic sensory and investigate the taste perception characteristics and demand of enteral nutrition preparations such as Fortimel in tumor and stroke patients, and the difference in taste perception of enteral nutrition preparations with healthy people by combining manual sensory evaluation and electronic bionic sensory. Participants were tested for different taste perception thresholds using a three-point difference test, with samples materials for basic taste stimuli used, i.e. reference substances tartaric/citric acid (acidic), quinine hydrochloride/caffeine (bitter), anhydrous sodium chloride (salty), sucrose (sweet), and quercetin/alum (astringent) were used to prepare different tastes and concentrations of liquids. The subjects will then evaluate the appearance (color, texture), taste, flavor, and texture of the six different flavored enteral nutrition preparations. The subjects will then perform manual sensory evaluation of the appearance (color, texture), odor, taste, texture, and other properties of the 6 different flavored enteral nutrition preparations.

Read the detailed description
  1. Combining manual sensory evaluation and electronic bionic sensory, assessing the differences in taste perception between tumor and stroke patients and healthy individuals by measuring the basic taste perception threshold and palatability interval and analyzing facial expressions.
  2. Combining manual sensory evaluation with electronic bionic senses and simultaneous facial expression analysis to assess the taste perception characteristics and needs of tumor and stroke patients for different flavors of enteral nutrition preparations.
  3. Establishing an information base of electronic tongue taste data, facial expression emotion and flavor data of nutritional preparations based on the electronic tongue and facial expression data of relevant assays obtained simultaneously during the above experiments.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Taste perception threshold

    materials using basic taste stimuli, i.e. reference substances tartaric/citric acid (acid), quinine hydrochloride/caffeine (bitter), anhydrous sodium chloride (salty), sucrose (sweet), quercetin/alum (astringent) to prepare Different flavors and concentrations of solutions were prepared. By the "three-point test", pure water was used as a control to determine the concentration of the flavors caused by The "discrimination threshold" of the sensation was determined by the "three-point test" using pure water as a control.

    Measured: After initial screening and exclusion, subjects who met the inclusion criteria were ready to begin taste threshold testing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer- and Cancer Treatment-Related Conditions and Stroke, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei Chen, Doctor (+86 13911006820, chenw@pumch.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Taste perception threshold (time frame: After initial screening and exclusion, subjects who met the inclusion criteria were ready to begin taste threshold testing.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2023.
