2.4.3. Preparation and Ingestion of Meals
thirst
The kiwifruit component of the meals, frozen in 200 g portions, were thawed in a microwave immediately before consuming. The meals containing both WB and KF were well mixed immediately before serving and were ingested from a bowl with a spoon in less than 10 min. In the meals not containing kiwifruit water equivalent in volume to that in the kiwifruit was provided (84 mL per 100 g of kiwifruit) to maintain an approximately equal intake volume in all meals. In meals in which the intakes of WB and KF were separated the WB was ingested with water equivalent to that in 100 g of kiwifruit. The subjects in all trials were provided with an additional 200 mL of water to be sipped as dictated by thirst over the course of the trial.
