Mucin immobilization in calcium alginate: A possible mucus mimetic tool for evaluating mucoadhesion and retention of flavour (2019)
Journal Article

To reduce animal testing, there is a need to develop novel in-vitro models for evaluating the retention of bioactive compounds in food and pharmaceutical products. Here, a mucus-mimetic platform was developed through a one-step approach based on enca...

An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing (2019)
Journal Article

While a good mucoadhesive biopolymer must adhere to a mucus membrane, it must also have a good unloading ability. Here, we demonstrate that the biopolymer pullulan is partially digested by human salivary α-amylase, thus acting as a controlled release...

Submaxillary Mucin: its Effect on Aroma Release from Acidic Drinks and New Insight into the Effect of Aroma Compounds on its Macromolecular Integrity (2019)
Journal Article

Submaxillary mucin is a major component that defines the makeup and functionality of saliva. Understanding its structure and function during food intake is key to designing appropriate strategies for enhancing the delivery of flavour. In the present...

Understanding the impact of sodium on the structural properties of sweet biscuits (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The impact of sodium inclusion on the structural properties of sweet biscuits was investigated. Mass loss behaviour of four biscuit doughs (four levels of added salt) during baking (rate of loss, mass loss) was monitored using TGA, and texture proper...

Impact of water-soluble precursors leaching from green beans on aroma generation during coffee roasting (2018)
Conference Proceeding

In this investigation green Robusta coffee beans were pre-soaked with different time-temperature profiles before roasting in normal conditions and grinding to a standardized particle size. Aroma profile of roasted coffee beans and water soluble precu... Read More about Impact of water-soluble precursors leaching from green beans on aroma generation during coffee roasting.

Age-related changes in oral and nasal physiology and their significance in aroma release and perception (2018)
Conference Proceeding

With aging comes many physiological changes, including those in the oral and nasal cavity, such as impaired olfactory function, reduced salivary flow and compromised dental status and function [1-3]. These changes may impact on aroma release and flav... Read More about Age-related changes in oral and nasal physiology and their significance in aroma release and perception.

Can flavour enhancement modulate appetite and food intake in women? (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Food flavour might be helpful for weight management by regulating appetite sensation and food intake. This chapter investigated whether the enhancement of flavour intensity or flavour complexity can modulate appetite sensation and food intake within...

Enhancing Robusta coffee aroma by modifying flavour precursors in the green coffee bean (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd This study attempted to improve Robusta sensory properties by modifying the beans chemical composition. Building on our previous work, which modified bean pH through acid pre-treatment, a model system was developed where, sugar so...

Analytical ultracentrifugation in saliva research: Impact of green tea astringency and its significance on the in-vivo aroma release (2018)
Journal Article

Current saliva testing methods rely on cutting edge yet expensive techniques for the detection and analysis of genetic material, proteins and biomarkers for clinical use. However, these techniques are limited in scope and often cannot be used with co...

A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature (2018)
Journal Article

Oral temperature, tongue specifically, is a key factor affecting oral sensation and perception of food flavour and texture. It is therefore very important to know how the tongue temperature is affected by food consumption. Unfortunately, traditional...
