“…It was shown that infants with specific eating temperaments may be resistant to learning to accept new food: for instance, higher fussiness in infants and toddlers predicted a lower increase in vegetable intake in a learning trial [88]. Moreover, infants with a different taste or olfactory sensitivity may also react differently to vegetables: some infants were more prone to accepting foods (in particular vegetables) with a sweet, sour or savory taste [75]; some infants who were highly reactive to food odors may show higher dislike for these foods [89,90]. Nevertheless, several strategies appear promising in promoting toddlers’ FV consumption.…”

Abstract:Complementary feeding (CF), which should begin after exclusive breastfeeding for six months, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), or after four months and before six months according to the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), is a period when the infant implicitly learns what, when, how, and how much to eat. At the onset of CF, the brain and the gut are still developing and maturing, and food experiences contribute to shaping brain connections involved in food hedonics and in the control of food intake. These learning processes are likely to have a long-term impact. Children's consumption of fruit and vegetables (FV) is below recommendations in many countries. Thus, it is crucial to establish preferences for FV early, when infants are learning to eat. The development of food preferences mainly starts when infants discover their first solid foods. This narrative review summarizes the factors that influence FV acceptance at the start of the CF period: previous milk feeding experience; timing of onset of CF; repeated exposures to the food; variety of foods offered as of the start of the CF period; quality and sensory properties of the complementary foods; quality of the meal time context; and parental responsive feeding.

“…We hypothesised that children's smell and taste differential reactivity were independent behaviours. For smell, children's exploratory responses to successive similar objects differing in odour were recorded as done in previous studies (e.g., Delaunay-El Allam, Soussignan, Marlier, & Schaal, 2010;Mennella & Beauchamp, 1998;Wagner, Issanchou, Chabanet, Marlier, Schaal, & Monnery-Patris, 2013;Wagner, Issanchou, Chabanet, Lange, Schaal & Monnery-Patris, 2014). For taste, children's intake of aqueous solutions differing in taste was recorded (Beauchamp & Moran, 1982…”

“…However, the influence of odor on less palatable/less pungent foods such as raw vegetables is understudied and warrants further investigation. It should be noted that the outcome of olfactory activities may also depend on individual’s awareness and ability to smell, both of which can vary by age [ 69 , 70 ]. Although there are no studies implementing olfactory experience alone for vegetable intake in children, there is emerging evidence for its use in multisensory interventions [ 24 ].…”

Developing Healthy Food Preferences in Preschool Children Through Taste Exposure, Sensory Learning, and Nutrition Education

Purpose of ReviewThe present review was undertaken in order to summarize and evaluate recent research investigating taste exposure, sensory learning, and nutrition education interventions for promoting vegetable intake in preschool children.Recent FindingsOverall, taste exposure interventions yielded the best outcomes for increasing vegetable intake in early childhood. Evidence from sensory learning strategies such as visual exposure and experiential learning also show some success. While nutrition education remains the most common approach used in preschool settings, additional elements are needed to strengthen the educational program for increasing vegetable intake. There is a substantial gap in the evidence base to promote vegetable intake in food fussy children.SummaryThe present review reveals the relative importance of different intervention strategies for promoting vegetable intake. To strengthen intervention effects for improving vegetable intake in preschool children, future research could consider integrating taste exposure and sensory learning strategies with nutrition education within the preschool curriculum.
