Lipid:water ratio measured from spectroscopy voxels placed in the upper (A) and the lower (B) part of the stomach of healthy young adults after consumption of the 3 meals containing a 20% sunflower oil in water emulsion on the 3 separate study days: Coarse, Coarse+LBG, and Fine+LBG. Values are means ± SEMs, n = 11. The arrow indicates the meal time. 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.
