While previous research has suggested that bitterness is the key determinant of vegetable disliking, it is unknown what role odor plays in vegetable hedonics. We therefore investigated the impact of odor as well as taste on liking and disliking of four vegetables (steamed asparagus and Brussels sprouts; fresh celery and...
A previous study conducted in our laboratory demonstrated the critical role that retronasal odors play in vegetable liking and disliking. It remains unclear, however, why some individuals like certain vegetable odors, while others do not. A possible explanation is that some individuals have learned to like the odor of a...
Green bean flavor has been studied since the 1960’s to better understand Blue Lake flavor in processed green beans in Oregon.

However, addition of acids to food or...
'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...
