Abstract
This study examined if orthonasal delivery of sweet volatiles associated with strawberry flavor enhanced the flavor perception and liking of a strawberry candy in the mouth. Participants (n = 60) were exposed orthonasally to 3 % v/v of three volatiles common in strawberries: amyl butyrate (AB), ethyl hexanoate (EH) or methyl butyrate (MB), and asked to match them with descriptors. Next, subjects rated key flavor attributes of the candy with simultaneous orthonasal presentation of each volatile at 0, 1.5 and 3 % (v/v). Without an oral stimulus, AB and MB were described as fruity and were associated with sweet taste. With an oral stimulus, AB enhanced sourness, strawberry flavor and mouthwatering (p < 0.03–0.006), while MB decreased sweetness, strawberry flavor, and negatively affected liking (p < 0.03–0.0008). On its own, EH was described as chemical/foul and associated with bitter taste, but when paired with the candy it was found to enhance sourness, fruity flavor, and mouthwatering (p < 0.04). These data suggest that individual fruit-derived volatiles produce unique flavor profiles when paired with in-mouth stimulation.
期刊介绍:
Food Quality and Preference is a journal devoted to sensory, consumer and behavioural research in food and non-food products. It publishes original research, critical reviews, and short communications in sensory and consumer science, and sensometrics. In addition, the journal publishes special invited issues on important timely topics and from relevant conferences. These are aimed at bridging the gap between research and application, bringing together authors and readers in consumer and market research, sensory science, sensometrics and sensory evaluation, nutrition and food choice, as well as food research, product development and sensory quality assurance. Submissions to Food Quality and Preference are limited to papers that include some form of human measurement; papers that are limited to physical/chemical measures or the routine application of sensory, consumer or econometric analysis will not be considered unless they specifically make a novel scientific contribution in line with the journal''s coverage as outlined below.
