Due to unique characteristics, umami substances have gained much attention in the food industry during the past decade as potential replacers to sodium or fat to increase food palatability. Umami is not only known to increase appetite, but also to in... Read More about Mechanisms of umami taste perception: From molecular level to brain imaging.

Influence of essential inorganic elements on flavour formation during yeast fermentation (2021)
Journal Article

The relative concentration of available inorganic elements is critical for yeast growth and metabolism and has potential to be a tool leading to directed yeast flavour formation during fermentation. This study investigates the influence of essential... Read More about Influence of essential inorganic elements on flavour formation during yeast fermentation.

Physicochemical design rules for the formulation of novel salt particles with optimised saltiness (2021)
Journal Article
Hurst, K. E., Ayed, C., Derbenev, I. N., Hewson, L., & Fisk, I. D. (2021). Physicochemical design rules for the formulation of novel salt particles with optimised saltiness. Food Chemistry, 360, Article 129990. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129990

Novel sodium reduction strategies are urgently required by the food industry. We hypothesised that redesigning salt crystals (size, density, hydrophobicity and flow properties) will offer a new route to increase saltiness and therefore reduce sodium....

Viscoelasticity of non-colloidal hydrogel particle suspensions at the liquid-solid transition (2021)
Journal Article
Shewan, H. M., Yakubov, G. E., Bonilla, M. R., & Stokes, J. R. (2021). Viscoelasticity of non-colloidal hydrogel particle suspensions at the liquid-solid transition. Soft Matter, 17(19), 5073-5083. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sm01624a

Suspensions of soft particles transition from a viscous fluid to a soft material upon increases in phase volume. The criteria defining the transition to this jammed state are difficult to define due to the porous and deformable nature of soft particl...

Extraction of protein from food waste: An overview of current status and opportunities (2021)
Journal Article
Kamal, H., Le, C. F., Salter, A. M., & Ali, A. (2021). Extraction of protein from food waste: An overview of current status and opportunities. Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 20(3), 2455-2475. https://doi.org/10.1111/1541-4337.12739

The chief intent of this review is to explain the different extraction techniques and efficiencies for the recovery of protein from food waste (FW) sources. Although FW is not a new concept, increasing concerns about chronic hunger, nutritional defic...
