The Root of the problem: increasing Root Vegetable intake in preschool children by repeated exposure and flavour flavour learning.
Appetite, 2014Co-Authors: Sara M. Ahern, Pam Blundell, Samantha J. Caton, Marion M. HetheringtonAbstract:Abstract Children's Vegetable consumption falls below current recommendations, highlighting the need to identify strategies that can successfully promote intake. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of flavour–flavour learning as one such strategy for increasing Vegetable intake in preschool children. Children (N = 29) aged 15 to 56 months were recruited through participating nurseries. Each received a minimum of six and maximium eight exposures to a Root Vegetable puree with added apple puree (flavour–flavour learning) alternating with six to eight exposures to another with nothing added (repeated exposure). A third puree acted as a control. Pre- and post-intervention intake measures of the three purees with nothing added were taken to assess change in intake. Follow-up measures took place 1 month (n = 28) and 6 months (n = 10) post-intervention. Intake increased significantly from pre- to post-intervention for all purees (~36 g), with no effect of condition. Magnitude of change was smaller in the control condition. Analysis of follow-up data showed that intake remained significantly higher than baseline 1 month (p

Increasing pre-school children’s liking for a novel Vegetable. A comparison of flavour flavour learning and repeated exposure
Appetite, 2013Co-Authors: Sara M. Ahern, Pam Blundell, Samantha J. Caton, Marion M. HetheringtonAbstract:Most UK children do not consume the recommended amounts of fruits and Vegetables, with intake of Vegetables particularly low. Many children dislike Vegetables and so strategies have been used to improve liking for Vegetables in children to promote intake. The current study examined the effectiveness of flavour flavour learning and repeated exposure to increase intake of Vegetables in pre-school children. Children aged 12–60 months (N = 33) were recruited through nurseries and given 8 exposures to a Root Vegetable puree with added apple puree (FFL) and another Root Vegetable puree with nothing added (RE) on separate days over 5 weeks. A third Root Vegetable puree acted as a control. Intake of unadulterated forms of all three purees was measured on separate days pre and post intervention. Intake was also measured after each exposure. Preliminary analysis of data (N = 22) demonstrates a significant trend of increased intake of Vegetable purees post intervention in all three conditions (p = .001) with no significant effect of condition on magnitude of change. No effect of condition was found on intake across exposures while results suggest a significant effect of number of exposures. A significant time x age group interaction revealed greater intake of Vegetable puree by younger (12–24 m) children overall post-intervention. Results suggest that flavour flavour learning confers no added benefit to simple repeated exposure in increasing Vegetable intake in pre-school children and that effects can generalize to other similar foods. Simple strategies to improve liking by adding apple sauce seem unnecessary, and familiarity through repeated exposure is sufficient to increase acceptance.

Variation in Amylase Activities in Radish (Raphanus sativus) Cultivars
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2009Co-Authors: Masakazu Hara, Tatsuo Asai, Toru KuboiAbstract:The radish ( Raphanus sativus ) is a Root Vegetable of the Brassicaceae family which shows amylolytic activity in the tapRoot. However, there is little information about differences in these amylolytic activities among radish cultivars. We analyzed the amylase activities and starch contents of 7 kinds of radish cultivars. The Koshin cultivar showed the highest amylase activity, with a level approximately 6 times higher than that of the Sobutori cultivar, which had the lowest. Cultivars with higher amylase activities showed higher starch contents. These results suggest that there are intraspecies variations in amylolytic activities in radishes, and positive correlations between amylase activity and starch content.
