User:Romistrub/Sensory specific satiety

Sensory specific satiation (SSS) is the satiation event (cessation of eating) caused by the continued consumption of foods with shared orosensory factors (e.g. cinnamon bun and cinnamon muffin, chocolate and vanilla pudding, etc.) Although satiation is usually associated with "satisfaction" or "fullness", palatable foods are usually consumed beyond reported gastric fullness, and SSS occurs when the pleasure associated with the intake is diminished below a critical threshold.

SSS is specific to orosensory factors, in that a meal comprised of a variety of foods may result in a greater intake before SSS occurs.
