ABSTRACT
Viscosity is a property of most foods. The consumption of the high-viscosity food is associated with a variety of physiological responses, one of which is their ability to regulate gastric emptying and modulate postprandial glycemic response. Gastric emptying has been proven to be a key step affecting the digestion and absorption of food, whereas, the relationship between viscosity and gastric emptying is still far away from being understood. Here, we reviewed the factors that influence food viscosity and food viscosity changes during digestion. Besides, the effect of food viscosity on gastric emptying and food-viscosity-physiological response were highlighted. Finally, "quantitative relationship" of viscosity and gastric emptying was discussed. This review can contribute to the understanding that how food viscosity affects gastric emptying, and help for developing foods that could control satiety and manage body weight for the specific populations.
