The taste qualities of acidulants have not been studied in detail despite
the fact that they are widely used by the food industry. Studies on
characterizing the sensory properties of organic and inorganic acids are very
limited. Reported studies are commonly on threshold, equi-sour and the time
intensity values of...
Lemon oil quality is affected by numerous factors including lemon variety, climate,
soil type, extraction method, etc.. Therefore, quality largely depends upon the lemons'
origin, and aroma profiles of oils obtained throughout the world have potential to vary
considerably. This research was conducted to identify differences in the aroma profiles...
Staling in beer is inevitable. Oxidation and increased temperatures are the main causes of stale flavors in bottled beers. Since 1934, research has been done to identify compounds and pathways involved in creating stale flavors. Although many research papers report stale flavors, there is not a lexicon per se of...
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....
This study was undertaken to determine the sensory differences in high pressure vs. heat processed food systems after storage at ambient and refrigerated temperatures as determined by a trained sensory panel. Spanish rice and spaghetti with meat sauce were prepared and treated with heat and with high pressure processing (HHP)....
'Marion' blackberry is known for having excellent aroma and flavor, yet they are susceptible to damage by freezing and they are very thorny. Thornless blackberry cultivars have been developed and show great potential. Thus, the interest of the study was in determining which of eight thornless blackberry cultivars, have similar...
Pinot noir has a reputation for lower color stability than other red wine varieties. Because it has relatively low anthocyanin and phenolic content and lacks acylated anthocyanin pigments compared to other red vinifera varieties, color extraction and stability are particularly important. Varying the processing during fermentation of red wine can...
Hops contribute many desirable aromas to beer. Traditionally hop aromas have
been described by the point of addition in the brewing process (dry-hop, finish-hop, or
kettle-hop). The compounds present in the oil provide a wide range of aroma qualities.
Since the composition of the oil is different for each hop...
Acidulants can contribute considerably to the flavor of food.
However, limited research on differences in acid flavor exists. While
numerous researchers have studied acids, most have focused on sourness
exclusively. Acids have been shown previously to differ in non-sour
components, such as bitterness and astringency. A series of experiments
were...
Texture, a critical property of Asian wheat noodles, is normally assessed by
sensory evaluation. However, sensory evaluation may be impractical for wheat breeders
and noodle researchers who need to evaluate a large number of samples and have limited
sample. Instrumental Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) has been widely employed to
evaluate...
