Nowadays, overweight and obesity has reached an epidemic level around the world. With the aim to tackle them, an interesting strategy is the study of food and ingredients with satiety properties. In addition to reducing food and/or calorie intake, this type of foods must be included as part of a healthy diet. With regard to this, it is well known that the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a feeding pattern that helps us to maintain good health, providing an adequate intake of micronutrients and active compounds. With this background, the main aim of this research was to identify MD foods with a high satiating potential capacity. For this purpose, three typical foods of the Mediterranean region, mainly based on vegetables, were selected: hummus, ajoblanco and gazpacho. As a control, white bread was used. Twenty-four human healthy volunteers consumed a standard breakfast followed by the different typical Mediterranean foods, and then the subjective sensation of hunger and satiety for each food was assessed by visual analogue scales (VAS) during 3 h. Subsequently, volunteers had ad libitum access to a standard meal. The results indicate that gazpacho showed the highest satiating scores, despite the fact that it was not the food that provided the highest protein or fibre amount. More studies of this type are needed to determine the proportion and/or combination of ingredients from these classical Mediterranean recipes that could enhance human satiety.
如今，超重和肥胖在全球已达到流行程度。为了解决这些问题，一项有趣的策略是研究具有饱腹感特性的食物和成分。除了减少食物摄入量和/或卡路里摄入量外，这类食物还必须作为健康饮食的一部分。关于这一点，众所周知，地中海饮食（MD）是一种有助于我们保持健康的饮食模式，能提供充足的微量营养素和活性化合物。在此背景下，本研究的主要目的是确定具有高饱腹感潜力的地中海饮食食物。为此，选择了三种主要以蔬菜为基础的地中海地区典型食物：鹰嘴豆泥、杏仁白汤和西班牙冷汤。作为对照，使用了白面包。24名健康志愿者先食用标准早餐，然后食用不同的典型地中海食物，接着在3小时内通过视觉模拟量表（VAS）评估每种食物的饥饿和饱腹感主观感受。随后，志愿者可随意享用一顿标准餐。结果表明，尽管西班牙冷汤并非提供蛋白质或纤维量最高的食物，但其饱腹感得分最高。需要更多此类研究来确定这些经典地中海食谱中能够增强人类饱腹感的成分比例和/或组合。
