Mucin immobilization in calcium alginate: A possible mucus mimetic tool for evaluating mucoadhesion and retention of flavour (2019)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Yakubov, G. E., Lim, M., Hurst, K., Adams, G. G., Harding, S. E., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Mucin immobilization in calcium alginate: A possible mucus mimetic tool for evaluating mucoadhesion and retention of flavour. International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 138, 831-836. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.07.148

To reduce animal testing, there is a need to develop novel in-vitro models for evaluating the retention of bioactive compounds in food and pharmaceutical products. Here, a mucus-mimetic platform was developed through a one-step approach based on enca...

An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing (2019)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Gadon, A., Hurst, K., Lim, M., Ayed, C., Gillis, R. B., Adams, G. G., Harding, S. E., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing. npj Science of Food, 3(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-019-0043-y

While a good mucoadhesive biopolymer must adhere to a mucus membrane, it must also have a good unloading ability. Here, we demonstrate that the biopolymer pullulan is partially digested by human salivary α-amylase, thus acting as a controlled release...

Real‐time quality authentication of honey using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry ( APCI ‐ MS ) (2019)
Journal Article
ElMasry, G., Morsy, N., Al‐Rejaie, S., Ayed, C., Linforth, R., & Fisk, I. (2019). Real‐time quality authentication of honey using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry ( APCI ‐ MS ). International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 54(11), 2983-2997. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijfs.14210

The aim of this study was to use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and APCI-MS techniques to detect adulteration in honey. The key volatile compounds in the headspace of the adulterated honeys were marked by GC-MS and their representative...

Aroma binding and stability in brewed coffee: A case study of 2-furfurylthiol (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, Z., Yang, N., Liu, C., Linforth, R. S., Zhang, X., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Aroma binding and stability in brewed coffee: A case study of 2-furfurylthiol. Food Chemistry, 295, 449-455. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.05.175

The aroma stability of fresh coffee brew was investigated during storage over 60 minutes, there was a substantial reduction in available 2-furfurylthiol (2-FFT) (84%), methanethiol (72%), 3-methyl-1H-pyrole (68%) and an increase of 2-pentylfuran (65%...

Submaxillary Mucin: its Effect on Aroma Release from Acidic Drinks and New Insight into the Effect of Aroma Compounds on its Macromolecular Integrity (2019)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Gillis, R. B., MacCalman, T., Lim, M., Adams, G. G., Harding, S. E., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Submaxillary Mucin: its Effect on Aroma Release from Acidic Drinks and New Insight into the Effect of Aroma Compounds on its Macromolecular Integrity. Food Biophysics, 14(3), 278-286. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11483-019-09574-2

Submaxillary mucin is a major component that defines the makeup and functionality of saliva. Understanding its structure and function during food intake is key to designing appropriate strategies for enhancing the delivery of flavour. In the present...

Understanding the impact of sodium on the structural properties of sweet biscuits (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ayed, C., Lim, M., Macnaughtan, W., Linforth, R., & Fisk, I. D. (2017, September). Understanding the impact of sodium on the structural properties of sweet biscuits. Presented at XV Weurman Flavour Research Symposium, Graz, Austria

The impact of sodium inclusion on the structural properties of sweet biscuits was investigated. Mass loss behaviour of four biscuit doughs (four levels of added salt) during baking (rate of loss, mass loss) was monitored using TGA, and texture proper...

Impact of water-soluble precursors leaching from green beans on aroma generation during coffee roasting (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, C., Yang, N., Linforth, R., & Fisk, I. D. (2017, September). Impact of water-soluble precursors leaching from green beans on aroma generation during coffee roasting. Presented at XV Weurman Flavour Research Symposium, Graz, Austria

In this investigation green Robusta coffee beans were pre-soaked with different time-temperature profiles before roasting in normal conditions and grinding to a standardized particle size. Aroma profile of roasted coffee beans and water soluble precu... Read More about Impact of water-soluble precursors leaching from green beans on aroma generation during coffee roasting.

Can flavour enhancement modulate appetite and food intake in women? (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yin, W., Fisk, I., Hewson, L., Linforth, R., & Taylor, M. (2017, September). Can flavour enhancement modulate appetite and food intake in women?. Presented at XV Weurman Flavour Research Symposium, Graz, Austria

Food flavour might be helpful for weight management by regulating appetite sensation and food intake. This chapter investigated whether the enhancement of flavour intensity or flavour complexity can modulate appetite sensation and food intake within...
