The relation between stimulated salivary flow and the temporal consumption experience of a liquid oral nutritional supplement (2021)
Journal Article

Use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in undernourished patients has proven clinical benefits, but this can be hampered by low adherence due to poor experience of palatability. Many patients, particularly older patients, experience hyposalivation...
