This chapter explores the nutritional composition of insects and the potential benefits and drawbacks for their inclusion into pet, poultry, pig, ruminant and aquatic animal feeds. Six species are most commonly described for use in animal feed, namel... Read More about Suitability of insects for animal feeding..

Consumer understanding of beer and wine body: An exploratory study of an ill-defined concept (2021)
Journal Article
Ivanova, N., Yang, Q., Bastian, S. E., Wilkinson, K. L., & Ford, R. (2022). Consumer understanding of beer and wine body: An exploratory study of an ill-defined concept. Food Quality and Preference, 98, Article 104383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104383

Body is a key sensory characteristic for beverage acceptability, drinkability and an important consideration when making a purchase decision. Evidence suggests that consumers perceive low-alcohol beverages as lacking body. Despite the significance of...

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...

Impact of capsaicin on salt release and salt perception during consumption of salt and salt-capsaicin solutions (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, N., Yang, Q., Zhao, J., Fan, X., Chen, J., & Fisk, I. (2021). Impact of capsaicin on salt release and salt perception during consumption of salt and salt-capsaicin solutions. In Progress in Flavour Research 2021. Proceedings of the 16th Weurman Flavour Research Symposium. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5346806

The mechanism on how capsaicin could affect salt release in the mouth and its saltiness perception was unknown. This is the first study designed to investigate the impact of capsaicin on salt release in the tongue and correlate with its perception du...

Identification of aroma compounds in a commonly prescribed oral nutritional supplement and associated changes in olfactory abilities with human ageing (2021)
Journal Article
Lester, S., Cornacchia, L., Corbier, C., Taylor, M. A., Ayed, C., Yang, N., …Fisk, I. (2021). 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
Dong, M., Zhang, Y. Y., Huang, X. H., Xin, R., Dong, X. P., Konno, K., …Qin, L. (2022). Dynamic sensations of fresh and roasted salmon (Salmo salar) during chewing. Food Chemistry, 368, Article 130844. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130844

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...
