Impact of cooking on the sensory perception and volatile compounds of Takifugu rubripes (2021)
Journal Article
Zhang, D., Yang, N., Fisk, I. D., Li, J., Liu, Y., & Wang, W. (2022). Impact of cooking on the sensory perception and volatile compounds of Takifugu rubripes. Food Chemistry, 371, Article 131165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131165

Takifugu rubripes is well-known for its unique flavour but can also develop a putrid off-note. To eliminate off-note and promote desirable flavour, four cooking processes (boiling, steaming, microwave-heating and roasting) were explored to determine...
