The effect of high-polyphenol sumac (Rhus coriaria) on food intake using sensory and appetite analysis in younger and older adults: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Aging is accompanied by a decline in appetite and food intake with associated deficiencies in both macronutrients and micronutrients. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of adding Iranian brown sumac (Rhus coriaria) (CIBS) into butternut squash soup on sensory evaluation and food intake among older adults (n = 20; >65 years old) and younger adults (n = 20; 18-35 years old). To evaluate the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of the sumac samples, a Folin-Ciocalteu assay (FCR) and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay were used, respectively. L-glutamic acid was assessed using a Megazyme L-glutamic acid assay. Compusense software was used to assess the sensory evaluation attributes of free-living older adults and younger adults recei
