Ratings of preload characteristics^* (mm) taken at each test session prior to preload consumption for 58 subjects in a study to test the effects of varying the form of apples on lunch intake (mean ± S.E.).

	Apple	Applesauce	Apple juice with fiber	Apple juice without fiber
How pleasant is the taste of this food right now?	75 ± 2a	66 ± 3b	59 ± 3b	74 ± 2a
How many calories do you think this food has?	25 ± 2a	33 ± 2b	37 ± 2b	34 ± 2b
How filling do you think this food will be?	44 ± 3a,b	47 ± 3a	36 ± 3b,c	34 ± 3c

For a given characteristic, means that have different letters (a, b, c, d) are significantly different (p < 0.02) based on a mixed linear model with repeated measures.

^*Higher rating numbers indicate more pleasant taste, more calories, and more filling.
