Water and Oil Matrix Effect on the Perceived Spiciness in Chili Pepper Powder
The content of pungent compounds in chili peppers does not always directly correlate with the perceived intensity of spiciness in humans. This discrepancy highlights the complex nature of spiciness perception and underscores the need for a comprehensive approach that combines both instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation. We combined instrumental analysis (u-HPLC) with sensory evaluation by descriptive analysis with trained panelists. To examine how the food matrix affects spiciness perception, we compared water and oil extracts of chili pepper powder. Our findings revealed a notable matrix effect: oil extracts were perceived as less spicy than water extracts within the same capsaicinoid content. This phenomenon could be attributed to several factors, including a coating effect where oil might inhibit direct contact between capsaicin and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptors and flavor interference from other compounds extracted by oil. This suggests that spiciness perception is not solely determined by capsaicinoid content but also by the complex interactions between the capsaicinoid and the food matrix.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sensory Studies publishes original research and review articles, as well as expository and tutorial papers focusing on observational and experimental studies that lead to development and application of sensory and consumer (including behavior) methods to products such as food and beverage, medical, agricultural, biological, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, or other materials; information such as marketing and consumer information; or improvement of services based on sensory methods. All papers should show some advancement of sensory science in terms of methods. The journal does NOT publish papers that focus primarily on the application of standard sensory techniques to experimental variations in products unless the authors can show a unique application of sensory in an unusual way or in a new product category where sensory methods usually have not been applied.
