Background & Aims: This study is based on the development and validation of a popsicle to reduce preoperative fasting time.
Methods: The study was carried out in two stages, pre-clinical and clinical validation. The first stage consisted of producing a water-based, fat-free, high-calorie fruit-flavored popsicle, characterized by proximal composition and sensory analysis.
