Abstract
In this study, aerosols formed via oral movement while drinking wine were hypothesized as an oral-nasal delivery mechanism for aroma compounds with limited volatility, potentially inducing specific retronasal sensory perception. To this end, the formation mechanism of flavored aerosol particles (hexyl hexanoate) using model wine samples was investigated in vitro using the mechanical agitation method. The physical and physicochemical property variations of model wine samples had a significant impact on the total quantity of formed aerosol and average particle size, as well as flavor release, validated using gas chromatography. Taken together, this is the first study demonstrating that flavored ethanol aerosols could be formed using an in vitro method, and generated aerosol droplets could be suspended in and transported with air, and had the potential to settle onto mucus and trigger sensory perception.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Texture Studies is a fully peer-reviewed international journal specialized in the physics, physiology, and psychology of food oral processing, with an emphasis on the food texture and structure, sensory perception and mouth-feel, food oral behaviour, food liking and preference. The journal was first published in 1969 and has been the primary source for disseminating advances in knowledge on all of the sciences that relate to food texture. In recent years, Journal of Texture Studies has expanded its coverage to a much broader range of texture research and continues to publish high quality original and innovative experimental-based (including numerical analysis and simulation) research concerned with all aspects of eating and food preference.
Journal of Texture Studies welcomes research articles, research notes, reviews, discussion papers, and communications from contributors of all relevant disciplines. Some key coverage areas/topics include (but not limited to):
• Physical, mechanical, and micro-structural principles of food texture
• Oral physiology
• Psychology and brain responses of eating and food sensory
• Food texture design and modification for specific consumers
• In vitro and in vivo studies of eating and swallowing
• Novel technologies and methodologies for the assessment of sensory properties
• Simulation and numerical analysis of eating and swallowing
