The rheological properties of an alginate satiety formulation in a physiologically relevant human model gut system

Background: Satiety in the stomach is often caused by distension and satiating feeling triggered through afferent vagal signals. Increasing or prolonging of with a low-calorie agent would be beneficial reducing energy intake potentially aid management weight. The aim this work was to quantify rheological properties an alginate formulation induce satiety (AFIS) as it passes physiologically relevant model human digestive tract.
