Academic Consortium Publications for September 2023

Pico-Munyoz et al. (2023) conducted a study to investigate relationships between sensory perceptions of thirst (thirstiness, dry mouth, desire for water), physiological hydration measures (oral mucosa hydration, body hydration), and four stimuli (nothing, water, gum-based thickened water, starch-based thickened water). They found that water and thickened water stimuli reduced thirst more than nothing, but water was more liked and reduced dry mouth sensations more than the thickened waters. Thickened water is often administered to persons with dysphagia, so improving its formulation could deliver better hydration. This is one of several fine papers published in September 2023 by members of the Compusense Academic Consortium.
