Background: A baby-led approach to weaning (BLW) encompasses self-feeding and self-selecting graspable foods, offering an alternative to traditional weaning (TW). This cross-sectional study explored adherence to characteristics of BLW and differences...

Identification of aroma compounds in a commonly prescribed oral nutritional supplement and associated changes in olfactory abilities with human ageing. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 16518. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-95915-6

Undernutrition is prevalent in the older adult population. Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are a clinically effective nutritional intervention, however, patient acceptance of ONS can be limited by their palatability. While sensory attributes such...

Dynamic sensations of fresh and roasted salmon (Salmo salar) during chewing (2021)
Journal Article

The sensory perception of food is a dynamic procedure, which is closely related to the released flavor stimuli. Thus, we evaluated the dynamic sensations of fresh and roasted salmon during the chewing process and investigated the tastants released in...

Development of a separated-dough method and flour/starch replacement in gluten free crackers by cellulose and fibrillated cellulose (2021)
Journal Article
Ren, Y., Yakubov, G. E., Linter, B. R., & Foster, T. J. (2021). Development of a separated-dough method and flour/starch replacement in gluten free crackers by cellulose and fibrillated cellulose. Food and Function, 12(18), 8425-8439. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1fo01368h

Two strategies were combined and applied in this study to achieve a desired structure and texture of gluten free crackers and to reduce the calorie content. The first strategy is increasing structural heterogeneity of crackers and doughs and a separa...

Evaluation of volatile metabolites as potential markers to predict naturally-aged seed vigour by coupling rapid analytical profiling techniques with chemometrics. Food Chemistry, 367, Article 130760. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130760

Rapid volatile detection methods for seed vigour rely heavily on artificial ageing (AA), however the comparability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to natural ageing (NA) and practicability of the detection models were not well known. In this stu... Read More about Evaluation of volatile metabolites as potential markers to predict naturally-aged seed vigour by coupling rapid analytical profiling techniques with chemometrics.
