Abstract


Satiation and satiety are the main components to understand appetite control and both have to do with the inhibition of eating. Satiety starts after the end of eating and prevents further eating before the return of hunger. It also contributes to obese factor. All the nerve impulses travel in fraction of seconds where as the satiety centre of the brain responds only after 15 minutes of the meal. This research discusses the satiating power of foods and drinks containing nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners.
