The effect of adenosine monophosphate deaminase overexpression on the accumulation of umami-related metabolites in tomatoes (2016)
Journal Article

Taste is perceived as one of a combination of five sensations, sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. The umami taste is best known as a savoury sensation and plays a central role in food flavour, palatability, and eating satisfaction. Umami flavour...

Sodium ion interaction with psyllium husk (Plantago sp.) (2016)
Journal Article

The nature of and factors effecting sodium interactions with psyllium were investigated in vitro. In a batch extraction system, psyllium mucilage gel retained at least 50% of sodium across a range of concentrations (5–300 mg sodium per g psyllium) an...

Intragastric structuring of anionic polysaccharide kappa-carrageenan filled gels under physiological in vitro digestion conditions (2016)
Journal Article

In the present work, sodium alginate (SA), low methoxyl pectin (PEC) and κ-carrageenan (κ-CAR) were evaluated for their intragastric structuring ability by means of light microscopy and dynamic oscillatory rheology. SA and PEC solutions, their Ca2+ c... Read More about Intragastric structuring of anionic polysaccharide kappa-carrageenan filled gels under physiological in vitro digestion conditions.

Genetic improvement of tomato by targeted control of fruit softening (2016)
Journal Article

Controlling the rate of softening to extend shelf life was a key target for researchers engineering genetically modified (GM) tomatoes in the 1990s, but only modest improvements were achieved. Hybrids grown nowadays contain 'non-ripening mutations' t... Read More about Genetic improvement of tomato by targeted control of fruit softening.

Determination of volatile marker compounds of common coffee roast defects (2016)
Journal Article

Coffee beans from the same origin were roasted using six time-temperature profiles, in order to identify volatile aroma compounds associated with five common roast coffee defects (light, scorched, dark, baked and underdeveloped). Thirty-seven volat... Read More about Determination of volatile marker compounds of common coffee roast defects.

Non-destructive characterisation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation using LC-MS-based metabolite footprinting (2016)
Journal Article

Bone regeneration is a complex biological process where major cellular changes take place to support the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal bone progenitors. To characterise these biological changes and better understand the pathways regulatin...

Cold plasma: a new technology to modify wheat flour functionality (2016)
Journal Article

Atmospheric pressure cold plasma has the potential to modify biological chemistry and modulate physical surface properties. Wheat flour was treated by low levels of cold plasma (air, 15 V and 20 V) for 60 or 120 s. There was no change in the total ae...
