In cross-cultural studies, respondents from specific cultures may have different product preferences and scale usage. Combining data from different cultures will result in departures from the basic assumptions of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and loss of power in testing capability of finding product and culture differences. However, the result of...
This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second.
The first study measured the concentrations...
Radish anthocyanin extract has potential as a natural colorant because of
its pigment stability and attractive red hue. Presence of undesirable aroma
compounds could limit its applications in foods. The pungent principle of
radish, 4-methylthio-3-butenyl isothiocyanate (MTBI), is produced
enzymatically upon cell injury from its glucosinolate precursor, 4-methylthio-3-butenyl glucosinolate (MTBG),...
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...
'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...
The objectives of this study are to 1) qualitatively and quantitatively measure the odor-active compounds in ‘Marion’ blackberry; 2) compare the aroma profiles of advanced selections and new cultivars of thornless blackberry cultivars with ‘Marion’; 3) study the development of furaneol in ‘Marion’ during ripening and; 4) investigate the distribution...
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...
The objectives of this study were to 1) measure and compare the compositional differences of essential oil among three hop cultivars ('Centennial’, 'Citra' and 'Nelson Sauvin'), 2) identify the odor-active aroma compounds in three varieties of hops and 3) investigate the behavior of hop-derived aroma compounds in beers prepared by...
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...
