Exciting conditions are associated with low valence and high arousal, whereas calm conditions are associated with high valence and low arousal. Calm music (CM), calm sound (CS), and a combination of calm music and sound (CMCS) evoked emotions such as joy, relaxation, calmness, pleasantness, and at ease, and were correlated with the perception of sweetness and creaminess. Conversely, exciting music (EM) increased arousal, evoked emotions such as, activity, enthusiasm, energy, and excitement, and amplified the perception of roasted and bitter flavours. Exciting sounds (ES) and combined exciting music and exciting sound (EMES) conditions were positively correlated with anxiety, fatigue, unease, unhappiness, difficulty concentrating, irritation, and restlessness, as well as enhancing the perception of roasted and bitter flavours. Furthermore, the EM and EMES conditions gave rise to significantly higher skin conductance and respiration rate, with corresponding correlations with the perception of roasted and bitter flavours. The ES and EMES conditions demonstrated significantly higher heart rate and respiration rate. The CM condition showed significantly higher heart rate and emotional responses while the CS condition showed significantly higher skin conductance. The findings of this study indicate that sensory attributes are closely associated with the emotions and physiological responses evoked when consuming ice cream under different music and sound conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 101093"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A survey was applied with a questionnaire composed of 29 questions divided into three sections. The first section contains general and socioeconomic data. The second section is on the identification and evaluation of traditional Colima dishes, and the third section is on each dish's frequency and place of consumption. 607 surveys were made in which the most typical Colima gastronomy dishes were identified: pozole by 90% of those interviewed, sopitos by 82%, chilaquiles by 80%, ceviche by 75% and enchiladas by 73%. Likewise, it was also possible to verify that pozole and sopitos are primarily consumed in homes throughout the year. For each question asked, the effect of demographic classification factors was verified using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

The changes in the main components and flavor compounds of Sandiao soup were analyzed using an electronic tongue and electronic nose and by gas chromatograph–ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-IMS). As the simmering time of the soup increased, its pH decreased, salinity and solid content increased, clarity increased, and brightness decreased, correlating with the highest sensory score. In addition, as the suspension time of the soup increased, its nucleotide content increased (particularly its concentration of inosine monophosphate and guanosine monophosphate, which are significant flavor components in the soup), and the concentration of free amino acids increased, with the concentrations of alanine and glutamic acid being the highest. Principal component analysis revealed that the taste of the soup changed during the suspension process. GC-IMS analysis identified 35 flavor compounds in the soup and showed that aldehydes (particularly nonanal and hexanal), alcohols, ketones, and esters made the greatest contributions to the flavor. The best results in terms of color, flavor, and other organoleptic indicators were achieved when the stock was processed three times.

In addition, professional kitchens and procurement officers alike need to be equipped with holistic tools and simple outputs for communicating sustainable progress.

Potential indicators are screened using a novel interpretation of SMART criteria, the SMARTc Food Procurement Indicator Selection Criteria to ensure outputs are easy to estimate based on current data, can be achieved within current budgets and are easily communicable in the fast-paced gastronomy sector. While there is no literary consensus on the best food procurement variables, nor how to measure them, the holistic advisory tool focuses on Plant-Meat-Dairy Ratio, organic percentage, carbon footprint and seasonality. Moreover, in the absence of industry standards, such a comprehensive tool offers the possibility to measure and compare sustainable food procurement to planetary health diet recommendations and between professional kitchens themselves. Preliminary results are positive, however further development is needed to improve precision, comparability and interpretability.

The demand behaviour of consumers offers one avenue to help drive system change. While foodies – individuals with high interest and involvement in food - have a unique relationship with food and influence broader trends and innovation within the industry, the extent to which they are engaged in sustainability dietary practises is largely unexplored in the literature. The purpose of this study (Oct–Nov 2023) was to assess the level of engagement (LOE) of foodies and non-foodies for 15 sustainable dietary actions across behaviours representing social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. The study explored the knowledge, motivations, practices and behaviors of adult foodies versus non-foodies (n = 824) toward sustainable diets across four high-income countries of the Global North (Australia, Canada, England and the United States). Four assessment tools (12-item Foodie Index, 25-item Food Literacy Scale, 14-item Food Sustainability Concern Scale, 6-item New Ecological Paradigm Scale) were administered online to explore significant relationships with sustainable diets. Results show that LOE with sustainable dietary practices is positively associated with foodiness, food literacy, food sustainability concern, and NEP scores (<em>p</em>(<em>r)</em> < 0.05). Importantly, foodies have a higher LOE for each dietary behaviour than do non-foodies (<em>p</em>(<em>F</em>) < 0.05). Similarly, foodies have higher food literacy and food sustainability concern, but not NEP scores (<em>H</em>). Together, these findings suggest that the greater food knowledge of foodies is leveraged into sustainable dietary action through heightened concern for food sustainability. We argue that foodies are both well-positioned and predisposed to act as agents of change in support of a more sustainable agri-food system, and that this can be promoted through targeted policy and education initiatives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 101086"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143152415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
