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...
The study of carbonation perception is limited, even though carbonated beverages are very popular. A series of experiments
were conducted to determine the sensory properties of carbonation itself and its interaction with other sensory modalities.
First, the power functions of carbonation in carbonated spring water were developed by a trained...
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...
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...
A lexicon describing the sensory perception of carbonated water was
developed. Temporal aspects and differing ingestion conditions were
investigated for Bite and Burn sensation using time-intensity (T-I). Four CO₂
levels (0, 1.7, 2.8, and 4.6 volumes) at 3°C and 10°C were tested. Trained
panelists used a 16-pt category scale for...
'Marion' and 'Thornless Evergreen' blackberry volatiles were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FED) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on total percentage of FID area 'Thornless Evergreen' contains significantly more alcohols, hydrocarbons, and phenols than the 'Marion'; 'Marion' contains more acids and esters. Both cultivars contained comparable amounts of...
Potato varieties characterized by non-conventional skin and flesh colors (purple, red, yellow) have the potential to revitalize consumer demand for fresh market potatoes because of their unique appearance and health benefits. Red and purple potatoes contain anthocyanins, which are flavonoids responsible for red, blue, and purple pigments in plants. Yellow...
Strawberries {Fragaria ananasa) and raspberries {Rubus ideaus) are good sources ofmany important nutrients, and have great potential to improve human health. However, they are highly perishable and have a very short shelf-life mainly due to the attack of fungi and high respiration rate. Edible coatings, especially chitosan-based coatings have been...
Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon. Research by Stevens and colleagues showed that Blue Lake flavor could be reconstituted in a bland bean by adding 0.4ppm of 1-octen-3-ol and 1.6ppm of 3-hexen-1-ol. These two volatile...
