Understanding the lost functionality of ethanol in non-alcoholic beer using sensory evaluation, aroma release and molecular hydrodynamics (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Consumer sensory evaluation, aroma release analysis and biophysical protein analysis were used to investigate the effect of ethanol on the release and perception of flavour in beer (lager and stout) at different ethanol levels...

Dynamic Tribology Protocol (DTP): Response of salivary pellicle to dairy protein interactions validated against sensory perception (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Saliva plays a key role in oral lubrication that is hypothesised to influence the oral processing and sensory perception of foods, beverages and oral care products. Here, we consider whether or not ex vivo saliva-lubricity measure...

Probing the effect of aroma compounds on the hydrodynamic properties of mucin glycoproteins (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Aroma compounds are diverse low molecular weight organic molecules responsible for the flavour of food, medicines or cosmetics. Natural and artificial aroma compounds are manufactured and used by the industry to enhance the fla...

Policy, toxicology and physicochemical considerations on the inhalation of high concentrations of food flavour (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Food flavour ingredients are required by law to obtain prior approval from regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in terms of toxicological data and i...

Wood hemicelluloses exert distinct biomechanical contributions to cellulose fibrillar networks (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Hemicelluloses, a family of heterogeneous polysaccharides with complex molecular structures, constitute a fundamental component of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the contribution of each hemicellulose type to the mechanical... Read More about Wood hemicelluloses exert distinct biomechanical contributions to cellulose fibrillar networks.

Food biotechnology (2020)
Journal Article

We investigate recent advances in the Chemical Engineering aspects of food structuring agents and macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, and also the fate of food upon ingestion. Prebiotic effects on host-microbe interactions enable impr... Read More about Food biotechnology.

Structural Insights into the Mechanism of Heat‐Set Gel Formation of Polyisocyanopeptide Polymers (2020)
Journal Article

One of the key factors influencing the mechanical properties of natural and synthetic extracellular matrices (ECM) is how large‐scale 3D gel‐like structures emerge from the molecular self‐assembly of individual polymers. Here, structural characteriza... Read More about Structural Insights into the Mechanism of Heat‐Set Gel Formation of Polyisocyanopeptide Polymers.

The Effect of Dissolved Gases on the Short-Range Attractive Force between Hydrophobic Surfaces in the Absence of Nanobubble Bridging (2020)
Journal Article

The short-range attractive forces between hydrophobic surfaces are key factors in a wide range of areas such as protein folding, lipid self-assembly, and particle-bubble interaction such as in industrial flotation. Little is certain about the effect... Read More about The Effect of Dissolved Gases on the Short-Range Attractive Force between Hydrophobic Surfaces in the Absence of Nanobubble Bridging.

Investigating the influence of pectin content and structure on its functionality in bio-flocculant extracted from okra (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 The Author(s) Okra extract is known to have potential application as a bio-flocculant for wastewater treatment. However, no research to date has given insight into the components responsible for the flocculating ability of okra extract or its...
