Abstract:
The objective of this study was to determine whether the acceptability of foods in the diet of bed rested subjects, and subjects’ willingness to eat the foods, would change during the experience of extended bed rest, to determine whether the pleasantness of food-related odors, both related and unrelated to the menu, would change during the experience of extended bed rest or isolated and confined mission analog conditions and to explore the extent to which subjects’ mood and the acceptability of the day’s food are correlated.
