Abstract
Cancer patients often report poor appetite, along with reduced food enjoyment putting them at an increased risk for malnutrition and reduced quality of life. Although oral nutrition supplementation is a clinically proven strategy to augment nutrition, the compliance is low, partially as a result of treatment-related side-effects. Multiple approaches are needed to be taken in order to formulate oral nutritional supplements that cater to the needs and sensory abilities of patients. We have highlighted specific product limitations and strategies to improve flavor, texture, and energy density to improve compliance. Food scientists and clinicians together can improve the palatability of oral nutritional supplements.
