A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature (2018)
Journal Article
Lv, C., Wang, X., Chen, J., Yang, N., & Fisk, I. (2019). A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature. Food Research International, 116, 499-507. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2018.08.066

Oral temperature, tongue specifically, is a key factor affecting oral sensation and perception of food flavour and texture. It is therefore very important to know how the tongue temperature is affected by food consumption. Unfortunately, traditional...

Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, C., Yang, Q., Linforth, R., Fisk, I. D., & Yang, N. (2019). Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment. Food Chemistry, 272, 251-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.07.226

Green Robusta beans were subjected to pre-treatment with the aim of reducing the perceived aroma difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee. Treatment was a short soaking procedure with varying concentrations of acetic acid (up to 5%). Samples wer... Read More about Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment.

The role of phenolic compounds in olive oil aroma release (2018)
Journal Article

In this study, atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) was successfully applied to understand the effect of phenolic compounds on the release of olive oil aroma compounds. Eight aroma compounds were monitored under in-viv... Read More about The role of phenolic compounds in olive oil aroma release.

Variability of single bean coffee volatile compounds of Arabica and robusta roasted coffees analysed by SPME-GC-MS (2018)
Journal Article
Caporaso, N., Whitworth, M. B., Cui, C., & Fisk, I. D. (2018). Variability of single bean coffee volatile compounds of Arabica and robusta roasted coffees analysed by SPME-GC-MS. Food Research International, 108, 628-640. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2018.03.077

We report on the analysis of volatile compounds by SPME-GC-MS for individual roasted coffee beans. The aim was to understand the relative abundance and variability of volatile compounds between individual roasted coffee beans at constant roasting con...

Using a combined temporal approach to evaluate the influence of ethanol concentration on liking and sensory attributes of lager beer. Food Quality and Preference, 68, 292-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.03.019

A low alcohol beer evoking similar sensory enjoyment as its higher alcohol counterpart is potentially an attractive proposition to breweries for increased sales volumes, as well as consumers due to health and societal reasons. This study aimed to det... Read More about Using a combined temporal approach to evaluate the influence of ethanol concentration on liking and sensory attributes of lager beer.

Common roasting defects in coffee: aroma composition, sensory characterization and consumer perception (2018)
