Schematic diagram of the predicted behavior in the stomach of the 3 meals containing 20% sunflower oil in water emulsions: Coarse, Coarse+LBG, and Fine+LBG. The black dots represent the fat droplets, which are small for the Fine emulsion and large for the Coarse and Coarse+LBG emulsions. The arrows indicate the predicted different appearance of the treatments in the stomach when changing intragastric stability and droplet size of the emulsions. Coarse, 20% oil and water emulsion with 6-μm mean droplet size; Coarse+LBG, 20% oil and water emulsion with 6-μm mean droplet size and 0.5% locust bean gum; Fine+LBG, 20% oil and water emulsion with 0.4-μm mean droplet size and 0.5% locust bean gum; LBG, locust bean gum.
