Abstract:
Little is known about how liking for different foods develops from birth to adulthood. Although there are both cultural and sensory aspects to the development of food preferences, the focus of this study is on the sensory aspects of food preference development, in particular, preferences for meat. Two main aims are addressed : 1/. To develop a robust methodology that can be used to determine pre-literate and recently literate children's liking for different foods and the determinants of that liking. 2/. To investigate the effects of early experience with foods on later food preferences.Several

Different modalities such as touch, temperature, and pain can only be appreciated with intact sensory pathways from the peripheral receptors to the cerebral cortex via the spinal cord. Pain is a sensory response to noxious, tissue damaging stimuli. It is an essential protective response for survival. However, abnormalities in sensory function may lead to hyposensitization or hypersensitization to a stimulus, which may cause numbness or pain respectively. Juvenile

However, there are several health conditions that may affect the integrity of spatial awareness, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as injury or neurological conditions (e.g., amputation, spinal cord lesions, or stroke).

Sotolon (3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5)-furanone) is a chiral lactone responsible for the oxidized flavour in fortified wines and wine produced by oxidative ageing. The perception threshold of the racemic mixture in wine is 8 – 10 μg/L and the flavour is reported as curry, aged honey, aged sake and fenugreek. Though it is considered a typical flavour note in Madera, Porto and Sherry, it is an off-flavour in dry white wine where its oxidative note is detrimental for the fresh taste and odour. The sotolon formation pathways, during winemaking, are affected by chemical and physical factors such as:

This research focused on studying the sensory quality of low fat bacon when pale, soft and exudative (PSE) pork is used during processing. Low fat bacon is different from normal bacon in that the amount of visible fat in low fat bacon has been reduced. This is as a result of consumer interest in weight control and cholesterol, creating a demand for meat and meat products with reduced fat levels. PSE pork is a condition in which certain muscles are very pale, soft and watery. It is produced when the rate of post-mortem glycolysis is fast and a high level of acidity is reached while the carcass

Abstract:
The German hop Hallertauer, hallertauer is highly valued because of its "noble aroma", but it has a very low yield when cultivated in the U.S. Two new crosses of Hallertauer, U.S.D.A. 21455 and 21459, have high yields and promising aroma characteristics. In order to predict sensory properties of beers as a function of the varieties of hop used in brewing, a more complete sensory and chemical characterization of hop oils is necessary. The aims of this study were to compare the aroma profiles of the new crosses against the German variety by determining their most important odor active compounds,

Abstract:
The effect of sweeteners on fruit flavor perception was studied through the use of fruitiness power functions for unsweetened and sweetened model systems. In the first part of the study, two isosweet concentrations of aspartame and sucrose were determined and combined with five concentrations of orange and strawberry flavorants. Fruitiness power functions were developed and compared to determine the effect of each sweetener on the fruit flavor. For the second part of the study in the first experiment, one isosweet concentration of sucrose, aspartame, acesulfame-K and 1:1 blended APM/Ace-K was

Abstract:
Addition of acids to foods allows for enhanced food safety. Acids are the primary form of defense against microbial contamination in refrigerated foods, while use of acids in conjunction with heat or high hydrostatic pressure processing lowers energy usage resulting in cost reduction. However, addition of acids to food or beverage formulations often reduces palatability due to higher sourness and this has limited the food industry's ability to better utilize them as preservatives. This study was aimed at gaining a better understanding of sourness suppression and its underlying mechanisms so th

Abstract:
As a major wheat exporter to countries all over the world, the United States has to produce wheat that satisfy different quality requirements requested by their customers. Over the past decade the United States has encountered a major problem, that of losing market share in Asia to Canada and Australia. The major reason was that the United States was unable to supply Asian countries with quality wheat suitable for noodle production. To overcome the problem, the U.S. wheat industry needs to understand the specific quality requirements required for Asian noodles. Research on understanding sensor

Abstract:
Both consumer and descriptive analyses were used to study the shelf-life of packaged, roasted and ground coffee in order to evaluate the utility of using sensory data in a shelf life model, and to examine the ability of consumers to detect a difference between treated and control samples. Two types of coffee, which differed in bean roast, blend and origin, were evaluated and were referred to as moderate roast and high roast. Samples were packaged under <2%, 9%, or 21% oxygen in airtight laminated foil packages. Over the course of 84 days, the samples were stored in 20��C, 30��C, or 40��C condi

The quality and the commercial value of tea are closely related to human sensory evaluation of tea infusion which includes, leaf appearance, color, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel of the tea infusion. The aroma and taste of tea infusion are the most important attributes among these indicators. Whether these indices are directly related to chemical constitutes remains to be established. The composition and sensory evaluation of tea can also be affected by geographical
