Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The treatment is a 30 second mouth rinse of a solution containing 20 mM of oleic acid. The treatment will be provided as a single dose 90 minutes prior to the outcome measures.
Washout period between treatments/control treatments will be 7 days.
The treatment will be timed and observed by researchers to ensure that participants adhere to the entire mouth rinse protocol.
Intervention code [1] 316569 0
Prevention
Comparator / control treatment
Two control groups:
Positive control: Same solution as above with isocaloric amount of vegetable oil instead of oleic acid
Negative control: Same solution but without added fat/fatty acid
Control group
Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322545 0
An ad libitum food intake of an all-you-can-eat lunch will be used to assess acute dietary intake. Plates containing food will be weighed using scales before and after being served to participants to calculated the quantity of food consumed. Total energy intake (kJ) and macronutrient intake (grams and % of energy) will be assessed using FoodWorks software.
Timepoint [1] 322545 0
Lunch will commence 90 minutes following treatment, with a maximum duration of 45 minutes. Therefore, the timepoint will be 90-135 minutes.
Secondary outcome [1] 378895 0
A self-reported satiety questionnaire will be completed on a digital 100 mm visual analogue scale using Compusense Cloud software. This is to validate that the participants eat until they are comfortably full.
Timepoint [1] 378895 0
Questionnaire will be completed prior to lunch (90 following treatment) and after lunch (135 minutes following treatment).

Summary
Brief summary
Forty healthy adult subjects will be recruited to attend three data collection sessions at the CASS labs at Deakin University Burwood Campus. During any session, participants will be provided with any one mouth rinse in a random order: containing fatty acid (oleic acid 20mM), containing triglyceride (vegetable oil isocaloric to the fatty acid wash; positive control), or containing neither (negative control). They will then return to the lab after 90 minutes for an ad libitum buffet lunch, where they will be able to consume as much or as little food as they like. Food intake will be measured to assess the effect of the mouth rinse on intake. Participants will return to the CASS lab on separate days to complete the same methods, but with the other two remaining mouth rinses (cross-over design).

Data will be collected via the researcher weighing food and plates to calculate the exact quantity of food intake. This will be performed in a separate room to the buffet to ensure there is no influence on the participants.

Additional measures:
• Participants will keep a food record of their intake on the morning of each session. This will be completed using an online tool – ASA24 Australia
• Participants will complete satiety questionnaires before and after lunch to ensure they are comfortably full following buffet. These will be completed using an online survey software – Compusense Cloud

The aim is to assess the effects of a fatty acid-based mouth rinse on acute appetite and ad libitum food intake. We hypothesise that the fatty acid-based mouth rinse will reduce food intake compared to a control rinse.
