Trial summary

Coffee processing byproducts, such as coffee cascara (outer skin and pulp of the coffee berry), have potential health promoting properties due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Its use as a novel food ingredient is a means of valorizing this fractioin in the elaboration of functional yogurts. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Gastrointestinal Tolerance, Satiation and Sensory Acceptance of Yogurts Containing Dietary Fiber and Coffee Cascara Extract.

Coffee processing byproducts, such as coffee cascara (outer skin and pulp of the coffee berry), have potential health promoting properties due to the presence of bioactive compounds. Its use as a novel food ingredient is a means of valorizing this fractioin in the elaboration of functional yogurts. The addition of cascara extract in yogurt affects its texture quality. The addition of dietary fiber can help regain the structure of the yogurt's gel. However, secondary gastrointestinal effects associated with acute fiber ingestion must be considered.The aim of this clinical trial is to study the gastrointestinal tolerance, satiation and sensory acceptance of yogurts containing both coffee cascara extract and different doses of commercial soluble dietary fiber.

Read the detailed description

Forty healthy volunteers will be recruited and distributed into 4 groups following a randomized, blind, crossover design. Yogurt formulations will be administered two hours after the ingestion of a standardized breakfast, as a snack. Yogurt formulations include:

  • Control cascara yogurt with 0% dietary fiber.
  • Cascara yogurt with 3% dietary fiber.
  • Cascara yogurt with 7% dietary fiber.
  • Cascara yogurt with 13% dietary fiber.

The study will be conducted in 4 sessions, with at least 48h of washout period between treatment days. Data on gastrointestinal tolerance, satiation and sensory acceptance will be taken on the same day of the treatment using online surveys.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastrointestinal Tolerance

    Self reported gastrointestinal symptoms including bloating, nausea, flatulence, cramping, diarrhea, constipation and rumbling. Severity of symptoms will be measured with a 4-point scale (0= none, 1= mild, 2=moderate, 3= severe).

    Measured: 2 hours after ingestion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Satiety

    Self reported sensation of satiety, fullness, thirst, desire to eat food and prospective food consumption. Measurements will be conducted using a 100mm visual analogue scale (VAS).

    Measured: At 0, 15, 60, 115, 125, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes after breakfast meal.

  2. Sensory acceptance

    Self reported sensory acceptance of the different yogurts, reporting overall acceptance and liking for the following attributes in a 9 point hedonic scale: appearance, odor, taste and texture.

    Measured: up to 5 minutes (At the moment of eating the yogurt)

Model description
Forty volunteers will be randomly distributed in 4 groups that will follow a sequence of treatments according to a balanced latin square design. Treatment days involve the ingestion in acute conditions of a yogurt formulation with a different dietary fiber dose: * Cascara control yogurt with 0% dietary fiber. * Cascara yogurt with 3% dietary fiber. * Cascara yogurt with 7% dietary fiber. * Cascara yogurt with 13% dietary fiber. Subjects will have a 48h washout period between treatment days to avoid carry-over effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary fiber in people with Satiation and Gastrointestinal Tolerance, run by National Research Council, Spain at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gastrointestinal Tolerance (time frame: 2 hours after ingestion). 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?
