RESUMO

Due to unique characteristics, umami substances have gained much attention in the food industry during the past decade as potential replacers to sodium or fat to increase food palatability. Umami is not only known to increase appetite, but also to increase satiety, and hence could be used to control food intake. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanism(s) involved in umami taste perception. This review discusses current knowledge of the mechanism(s) of umami perception from receptor level to human brain imaging. New findings regarding the molecular mechanisms for detecting umami tastes and their pathway(s), and the peripheral and central coding to umami taste are reviewed. The representation of umami in the human brain and the individual variation in detecting umami taste and associations with genotype are discussed. The presence of umami taste receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, and the interactions between the brain and gut are highlighted. The review concludes that more research is required into umami taste perception to include not only oral umami taste perception, but also the wider "whole body" signaling mechanisms, to explore the interaction between the brain and gut in response to umami perception and ingestion.

RESUMO

Microstructure design of protein-polysaccharide phase separated gels has been suggested as a strategy to nutritionally improve food products. Varying the phase volumes of a phase separated matrix may affect texture and overall flavour balance of the final product, which are both important for consumer acceptance. The aims of this study were to investigate how modifying the phase volumes of a gelatine-starch biphasic mixture affected aroma release, and how addition of sucrose affects phase separation, flavour distribution and aroma release. Biphasic gels of different microstructures with the same effective concentration of gelatine and starch in each phase were developed. Microstructure significantly affected aroma release in vitro but not in vivo when panellists (n = 5) chewed and swallowed the sample. Addition of sucrose (0-60%) to the biphasic mixture significantly reduced water activity, affected the microstructure and affected aroma distribution in each phase and subsequent release rates depending on the physicochemical properties of the aroma volatile. In general, affinity for the gelatine phase for the less hydrophobic, more volatile compounds was not significantly affected by sucrose concentration. Whereas an increased affinity for the starch phase for the more hydrophobic, less volatile compounds was observed with increased sucrose as the starch phase becomes more dispersed at sucrose concentrations between 40 and 60%. The results of this study may be of interest to researchers and industry to enable prediction of how reformulation, such as reduction of sucrose, to meet nutritional guidelines may affect the overall aroma balance of a phase separated food matrix.

RESUMO

Many older adults fail to meet their daily protein requirements, potentially due to social, physical and medical factors, including sensory and appetite changes. Additionally, our previous research has identified potential sulfurous off-flavours, originating from heat-treatment of protein ingredients, which could play a role in consumer acceptance. This study aims to determine the hedonic impact of these potential off-flavours when added to a dairy beverage, identify the specific off-flavour concentrations which cause rejection by consumers, and lastly investigate difference in acceptance between older and younger consumers. A rejection threshold (RjT) protocol was used, in combination with Best Estimate Thresholds (BET), whereby sulfurous flavours (dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide), and diacetyl were added to create a range of concentrations. 95 participants (younger n = 49, 18-38 years; older n = 46, 60-79 years) tasted 7 pairs of samples (one blank and one with ascending off-flavour concentration) and selected their preferred samples. Sulfurous flavours negatively impacted consumer acceptance, however, the extent to which they impart a negative effect differs between age groups. Younger adults rejected samples containing low concentrations of sulfurous off-flavours (1.55 ppb), however, older adults rejected samples with concentrations over 3 times higher (5.08 ppb). When combined with sulfurous flavours, diacetyl increased the rejection threshold for both groups. In conclusion, these observations imply that a greater quantity of off-flavour may be present before acceptance is reduced in the older consumer group. Moreover, diacetyl demonstrates partial masking abilities of sulfurous off-flavours, and BET gave a more conservative estimate of acceptability. This knowledge will help guide sensory innovation of high-protein beverages for older consumers to support product acceptance and optimal intake.

RESUMO

The flavour of tea as a worldwide popular beverage has been studied extensively. This study aimed to apply established flavour analysis techniques (GC-MS, GC-O-MS and APCI-MS/MS) in innovative ways to characterise the flavour profile of oolong tea infusions for two types of oolong tea (type A- Shuixian, type B- Rougui). GC-MS identified 48 aroma compounds, with type B having a higher abundance of most compounds. GC-O-MS analysis determined the noticeable aroma difference based on 20 key aroma compounds, facilitating the creation of an analytical "Aroma Wheel" with 8 key odour descriptors. APCI-MS/MS assessed real-time aroma release during successive brews linked with the "Chinese tea ceremony" (Gongfu Cha). Multivariate Polynomial Regression (MPR) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network approaches were applied to aroma and colour data from seven successive brews. The results revealed a progressive decline in both colour and aroma with seven repeated brews, particularly notable after the fourth brew.

RESUMO

Many Dendrobium orchid stems are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The most popular and premium species is Dendrobium officinale, and its stem in TCM is called Tiepishihu. Tiepishihu has a sweet flavour and is an ingredient in Chinese tea and desserts. There is no comprehensive understanding of its flavour compounds. It is, therefore, essential to understand compounds responsible for its flavour, and how they are formed. This review assesses twelve diverse studies in Tiepishihu flavour (2013-2022). Thirty aroma compounds were compared - furfural and nonanal were identified as common compounds. Four of seven essential amino acids were taste-active, with lysine being the most potent. Pre-harvest factors such as environment impact specific aroma compounds. Post-harvest processing methods, including drying and grinding, can control Tiepishihu's flavour. Methodological consistency is a challenge, but controlling Tiepishihu's flavour could increase its commercial value as a food ingredient.

RESUMO

Capsaicin increases saliva production, but the impact of this additional saliva on the food matrix is unknown. This study aimed to explain the impact of capsaicin on saliva properties and in-vivo release of 14 aroma compounds in aqueous [aqu] and oil systems [oil]. To investigate the physicochemical effect from diverse properties of aroma compounds, one healthy subject participated in all the sessions to minimise large variations between individuals. Capsaicin enhanced saliva flow rate (by 172% [aqu] and 85% [oil]) and salivary protein concentration (by 142% [aqu] and 149% [oil]). Furthermore, capsaicin-in-oil stimulated saliva formed a more stable emulsion in the mouth (17% higher zeta-potential and 15% smaller particle size). In-nose release concentrations measured by APCI-MS for certain esters were reduced by capsaicin (e.g., isoamyl acetate was reduced by 65% [aqu] and 76% [oil]), which suggests that capsaicin may induce stronger oral interactions between specific aroma compounds and salivary proteins.

RESUMO

Rapid volatile detection methods for seed vigour rely heavily on artificial ageing (AA), however the comparability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to natural ageing (NA) and practicability of the detection models were not well known. In this study, VOCs between AA and NA sweet corn seeds were compared and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLS-R) modelswere constructed based on AA to predict the seed vigour of NA. A total of 33 VOCs were identified, among which aldehydes showed the highest consistency between NA and AA. Furthermore, a AS-PLS-R model with variable importance in projection (VIP > 1) and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r > 0.9) algorithms, which was built on 3 volatile markers: benzaldehyde monomer, n-nonanal, 1-butanol monomer, achieved the best performance (R2p of 0.901 and RMSEP of 0.050). Therefore, coupling Gas Chromatography- Ion Mobility Spectrometry (GC-IMS) with chemometrics can be an effective way to monitor and predict stored seeds vigour.

RESUMO

The release mechanism of odorants in the oral cavity during consumption directly affects sensory attributes, consumers' preferences, and ultimately purchase intent. Targets was set to monitor in real-time the key odorants released from grilled eel during mastication via an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) connected with a nose interface. The release and perception of odorants during mastication were divided into three distinct phases. Dimethyl sulfide was the main odorant in the first stage. The release and perception of fishy aromas were predominant in the middle and last stages of mastication contributed by trimethylamine, 1-penten-3-ol, and 2-methyl-1-butanol. Chewing behavior experiments suggested that extending the chewing period to >20 s and having a chewing frequency of 2 cycles/s could enhance the aroma delivery of grilled eel and optimize the consumer experience. Consequently, the results explained the relationship between aroma release and the optimal chewing behavior for grilled eel consumption.

RESUMO

A pilot scale dealcoholisation unit fitted with reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was used to directly compare two beer matrices (stout, lager, ~ 5% ABV) and their dealcoholized counterparts (~0.5% ABV), for physicochemical properties (volatiles, pH, ABV, polyphenols, bitterness) and sensory profiles using a trained descriptive panel (n = 12). The efficiency and consistency of RO membranes were evaluated by replicate dealcoholisation trials (n = 3) for each beer. Statistical analysis revealed significant reductions (p < 0.05) in key volatile compounds with linear structures (ethyl octanoate, octan-1-ol) compared to those with increased levels of branching (3-methylbutyl acetate, 2-methylpropan-1-ol). Significant reductions (p < 0.0001) in 'fruity/estery', 'alcoholic/solvent', 'malty', 'sweetness' and 'body' sensory attributes were also discovered. Finally, longer processing times for the stout across replicate trials suggested membrane clogging, whilst differences in volatile reduction suggested membrane fouling. This novel research proposes compound structure, rather than compound size, impacts RO membrane permeability and resulting sensory quality.

RESUMO

Novel sodium reduction strategies are urgently required by the food industry. We hypothesised that redesigning salt crystals (size, density, hydrophobicity and flow properties) will offer a new route to increase saltiness and therefore reduce sodium. Eight salts were compared with different physicochemical properties, the resultant particles were characterised and adhesion to product, loss in-pack, rate of dissolution and ultimately saltiness perception were evaluated. Principle findings included that particle adhesion was driven by particle size (r = -0.85, p = 0.008), bulk density (r = -0.80, p = 0.017) and flow properties (r = 0.77, p = 0.015); loss in-pack was associated with particle size and hydrophobicity of the salt particle while dissolution and/or saltiness perception was also driven by particle size and hydrophobicity of the salt particle. The findings offer a new set of design rules for future ingredient design for the food and flavour industries.

RESUMO

Sugar plays an important role in both the flavour and structure of confectionery. Targets have been set to reduce sugar; however, common strategies often result in changes in flavour and consumer rejection. In this study, an approach was developed to reduce sugar in confectionery gels by aeration, without significantly affecting perceived chewiness. Gelatine based gels with a 23% and 38% reduction in density were formulated using aeration. Mean bubble size was consistent across all gels (0.05-0.06 mm). Time-intensity sensory evaluation was carried out by a trained sensory panel (n = 10). With aeration, no significant difference in overall flavour perception was observed in the 23% and 38% reduced sugar and aroma gels. Air inclusions create a greater surface area, therefore accelerating mass transfer of volatiles and release of sucrose at the food-saliva interface. Consequently, we propose that less calorie dense products can be produced without compromising flavour by using gel aeration technologies.

RESUMO

Undernutrition is prevalent in the older adult population. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are a clinically effective nutritional intervention, however, patient acceptance of ONS can be limited by their palatability. While sensory attributes such as sweetness and mouthfeel have been investigated, the contribution made by aroma to the perceived flavour of ONS has not been studied. Firstly, this research aimed to identify the aroma active compounds within a commonly prescribed ONS using estimated odour activity values (OAV) and gas chromatography olfactometry mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). Secondly, age related differences in olfactory detection were explored. Eight aroma active compounds were identified within the ONS, including diacetyl (sweet), isoamyl acetate (banana), dimethyl trisulfide (sulfur) and methanethiol (sulfur). When compared with younger adults (n = 24, 18-44 years), older adults (n = 24, 62-80 years) had higher detection thresholds for all aroma compounds and this was significant for isoamyl acetate (sweet, fruity) and methanethiol (sulfur) (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). Thus, a decline in olfactory sensitivity was present in the older subjects included in the study, and this reduced detection sensitivity was aroma specific. Thus, older adults' flavour perception of ONS likely depends on the combined effect of product factors (the aroma profile) along with age related consumer factors (the degree of impairment in perception). This is a fundamental study which will aid future research into how the aroma profile, and associated age related impairments in perception, shape the global perception of ONS for nutritionally at risk older individuals.

RESUMO

Salt is included in many foods which consumers do not regard as salty. This "hidden-salt" may offer functional benefits but is often overlooked in sodium reduction strategies. This study investigated its role in shortbread-like sweet biscuits (1.05 g NaCl/100 g). Sensory tests revealed significant flavour and texture differences after a salt reduction of 33% (0.86 g/ 100 g). This was explained by differences in the partitioning of hydrophobic aroma compounds into the headspace and a significant impact on structure. Texture analysis and X-ray-µCT measurements revealed a reduced hardness with larger and more air cells in salt-reduced biscuits. It is suggested that salt impacts on cereal proteins by altering their aggregation around flour particles and at bubble walls and that slower water loss occurs in salted matrices during baking. Hence, this study revealed the key properties significantly affected by salt reduction and proposes an explanation which will help to develop a targeted "hidden-salt" reduction strategy.

RESUMO

Postharvest, pea vine field residue (haulm) was steam-sterilised and then juiced; a chloroplast-rich fraction (CRF) was recovered from the juice by centrifugation. The stability of selected nutrients (ß-carotene, lutein, and α-tocopherol) in the freeze-dried CRF material was measured over 84 days; the impact of temperature (-20 °C, 4 °C, 25 °C and 40 °C), light and air on nutrient stability was established. All three nutrients were stable at -20 °C and 4 °C in the presence or absence of air; this stability was lost at higher temperatures in the presence of air. The extent and rate of nutrient breakdown significantly increased when the CRF samples were exposed to light. ß-Carotene appeared to be more susceptible to degradation than lutein and α-tocopherol at 40 °C in the presence of air, but when CRF was exposed to light all three nutrients measured were significantly broken down during storage at 25 °C or 40 °C, whether exposed to air or not.

RESUMO

During storage of coffee, the key aroma 2-furfurylthiol becomes less active, the mechanisms of this loss and ways to mitigate it were investigated. Aroma profiles were analyzed using GC-MS and sensory properties were evaluated by Quantitative Descriptive Analysis. Quinones, as the oxidation products of hydroxydroquinone, was found to actively bind 2-furfurylthiol, which accounted for the loss of 2-furfurylthiol. To mitigate this loss, ingredients were screened for their ability to prevent 2-furfurylthiol from loss. Cysteine had the highest 2-furfurylthiol releasing efficiency and ascorbic acid was also selected due to its 2-furfurylthiol releasing ability in Fenton reaction system. Concentrations were optimized and the addition of 0.045 g/L cysteine and 0.05 g/L ascorbic acid directly protected aroma during storage, these included 2-furfurylthiol, dimethyltrisulfide, methyl furfuryl disulfide, 4-ethylguaiacol and 4-vinylguaiacol. Ultimately, sensory testing showed a direct enhancement in nutty, sulfurous and roasted aroma attributes, an increase in flavour intensity and preference over shelf life.

RESUMO

Disodium succinate (WSA) contributes to umami taste in seafoods and it is abundantly found in scallops. However, the actual application of WSA in foods is limited due to a lack of understanding of its taste characteristics and stability. In this study, two-alternative forced choice method was used to determine the relative umami intensity of WSA compared to monosodium glutamate, as well as the relative umami intensity under different conditions (pH and temperature). WSA concentration-taste intensity curve was established, which fitted well with a logarithmic-linear regression (R2 = 0.96). WSA exhibited the strongest umami intensity at 25 °C, 0.1% Na+ addition, and pH 7.5. It also had a good thermal stability, which met the needs of high temperature heating during food processing. In conclusion, this research provided useful information on umami characteristics of WSA and the results widen the application of WSA in the food industry.

RESUMO

Food flavour ingredients are required by law to obtain prior approval from regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in terms of toxicological data and intended use levels. However, there are no regulations for labelling the type and concentration of flavour additives on the product, primarily due to their low concentration in food and generally recognised as safe (GRAS) status determined by the flavour and extract manufacturers' association (FEMA). Their status for use in e-cigarettes and other vaping products challenges these fundamental assumptions, because their concentration can be over ten-thousand times higher than in food, and the method of administration is through inhalation, which is currently not evaluated by the FEMA expert panel. This work provides a review of some common flavour ingredients used in food and vaping products, their product concentrations, inhalation toxicity and aroma interactions reported with different biological substrates. We have identified several studies, which suggest that the high concentrations of flavour through inhalation may pose a serious health threat, especially in terms of their cytotoxicity. As a result of the wide range of possible protein-aroma interactions reported in our diet and metabolism, including links to several non-communicable diseases, we suggest that it is instrumental to update current flavour- labelling regulations, and support new strategies of understanding the effects of flavour uptake on the digestive and respiratory systems, in order to prevent the onset of future non-communicable diseases.

RESUMO

To investigate key taste-active components in Takifugu obscurus, 28 putative taste compounds in cooked muscle of T. obscurus were quantitatively analyzed and the pivotal components were identified by taste reconstitution, omission, and addition tests. Moreover, the role of flavor peptides in the overall taste profile of T. obscurus was evaluated. Sensory evaluation revealed that glutamic acid, serine, proline, arginine, lysine, adenosine 5'-monophosphate, inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP), succinic acid, sodium, potassium, phosphates, and chlorides were the core taste-active contributors to T. obscurus. Besides glutamic acid, IMP, succinic acid, and potassium, the characteristic T. obscurus-like umami and kokumi profiles were induced by adding flavor peptides, among which Pro-Val-Ala-Arg-Met-Cys-Arg and Tyr-Gly-Gly-Thr-Pro-Pro-Phe-Val were identified as key substances on the basis of the addition test and dose-response analysis. The present data may help to reveal the secret of the delicious taste of T. obscurus and provide the basis for the development of deeper flavor analysis of pufferfish.

RESUMO

The difference of metabolite profiles between raw and cooked pufferfish (Takifugu flavidus) meat was explored by 1H NMR technique and multivariate statistical methods. The orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) results showed an obvious separation between two samples. There were 24 dominating metabolites in the pufferfish muscle extraction, of which 11 metabolites changed significantly (p < 0.05), including 9 amino acids (alanine, leucine, methionine, tyrosine, glutamate, glycine, arginine, lysine, taurine), 1 organic acid (lactate) and 1 alkaloid (betaine). Moreover, the Student's t-test was performed to identify the different levels of metabolites. Sensory intensity experiments showed that there was a significant difference in the umami taste between raw and cooked pufferfish meat (p < 0.05). The content of glutamate, aspartate and 5'-IMP in the cooked meat increased, making the umami taste more intense. This study provided essential information about the metabolites explaining the taste difference between raw and cooked pufferfish meat.

RESUMO

This study attempted to improve Robusta sensory properties by modifying the beans chemical composition. Building on our previous work, which modified bean pH through acid pre-treatment, a model system was developed where, sugar solutions (glucose, fructose, sucrose) were used to pre-treat Robusta coffee beans with the aim to modify the concentration/availability/location of these aroma precursors. Beans were then dried to equal water activity, subjected to equal roast intensity and ground to comparable particle size distributions. The treatment significantly impacted aroma generation during roasting leading to an altered level of pyrazines, furans, ketones, organic acid and heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds (p < 0.05). The optimum treatment was 15 g/100 g fructose. 80% treated Robusta could be blended with Arabica in coffee brew without significant aroma differences being perceived when compared to 100% Arabica brew. Furthermore the aroma of the fructose treated Robusta was more stable than Arabica over six weeks accelerated shelflife storage.
