Emulsions containing liquid-state triacylglycerols that are stable against gastric acid result in slower gastric emptying, higher postprandial satiety hormones (PYY, GLP-1), lower hunger hormone (ghrelin), and greater subjective satiety compared to emulsions with crystalline droplets or acid-unstable emulsifiers.
If you consume a liquid fat emulsion that is stable in stomach acid (like certain commercial beverages or formulated foods), it may keep you fuller for longer and trigger better satiety hormones than fats that crystallize or break down quickly in the stomach. Focus on the structure and stability of the fat, not just the calorie count.
The emulsion containing liquid state TAGs and which was resistant to acidic pH (LS) remained dispersed in the stomach and resulted in the highest level of short-term subjective satiety and corresponding satiety hormones (PYY and GLP-1) and lower hunger hormone ghrelin.
Why this rating
Based on a controlled human study (n=15) with multiple physiological markers, though the sample size is small.
