Methods for fungiform papillae assessment: A collaborative study among European research units (2023)
Journal Article

Fungiform papillae (FP) are the anatomical structures dedicated to gustatory and somatosensory signal triggering. Whether the density of FP (FPD = FP/cm2) is associated with oral responsiveness is controversial, and the disparity in previous findings...

Applying regression tree analysis to explore willingness to reduce meat and adopt protein alternatives among Australia, China and the UK (2023)
Journal Article

The increasing global demand for meat causes additional environmental and food security issues. Adoption of a healthy and sustainable diet through the reduction of meat consumption may represent one approach to tackle these problems. An online survey...

The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body (2023)
Journal Article

Beer body remains a poorly defined term, and although technical brewing experts currently describe it as the fullness of flavour and mouthfeel, little is known regarding the impact of different sensory factors on its perception. Previous studies have... Read More about The impact of varying key sensory attributes on consumer perception of beer body.

Using correlation matrices to standardise sweet liking status classification (2022)
Journal Article

Distinct hedonic patterns of sweet taste liking have been widely recognised for more than half a century. Despite there being a growing consensus on the role of Sweet Liking Status (SLS) in food choice behaviour, current classification methods for th...

Improving simulated consumption context with virtual Reality: A focus on participant experience (2022)
Journal Article

Context can have a significant impact on liking, emotional response and product choice, and Virtual Reality (VR) is a promising tool to evoke realistic consumption contexts in a controlled testing environment. This study compared an innovative approa... Read More about Improving simulated consumption context with virtual Reality: A focus on participant experience.

The impact of time standardising TCATA by modality data on the multisensory profile of beer (2021)
Journal Article

Temporal sensory profiles are increasingly assessed ‘by modality’ to investigate complex profiles and multisensory properties of foods and beverages. Panellists’ noise in temporal data caused by differences in oral and cognitive processing cannot ent... Read More about The impact of time standardising TCATA by modality data on the multisensory profile of beer.

A TCATA by modality approach to study the multisensory temporal profile of hop bitter and flavour products applied in lager (2021)
Journal Article

Previous research suggested that iso-alpha-acids and hulupones add different bitterness profiles to beer and hop-derived volatiles modify temporal dimensions of bitterness qualities via cross-modal interactions. This research aimed to understand the... Read More about A TCATA by modality approach to study the multisensory temporal profile of hop bitter and flavour products applied in lager.

Rare sugars: metabolic impacts and mechanisms of action: a scoping review (2021)
Journal Article

Food manufacturers are under increasing pressure to limit the amount of free sugars in their products. Many have reformulated products to replace sucrose, glucose and fructose with alternative sweeteners, but some of these have been associated with a... Read More about Rare sugars: metabolic impacts and mechanisms of action: a scoping review.

Consumer understanding of beer and wine body: An exploratory study of an ill-defined concept (2021)
Journal Article

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...

Assessment of spatial lingual tactile sensitivity using a gratings orientation test (2021)
Journal Article

Individual thresholds by R-index estimates are calculated using a gratings orientation test (6 different tools of increasing grating size from 0.20-1.25 mm) to assess spatial lingual tactile sensitivity. During the experiment, the subjects are blindf... Read More about Assessment of spatial lingual tactile sensitivity using a gratings orientation test.

Exploring the multisensory perception of terpene alcohol and sesquiterpene rich hop extracts in lager style beer (2021)
Journal Article

Understanding the contribution of hop essential oil to the multisensory profile of beer is known to be challenging because of its chemical and sensory complexity. Limited research has been conducted investigating hop-derived volatiles' role in the mo...

Assessing the sensory and physicochemical impact of reverse osmosis membrane technology to dealcoholize two different beer styles (2021)
Journal Article

A pilot scale dealcoholisation unit fitted with reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was used to directly compare two beer matrices (stout, lager, ~ 5% ABV) and their dealcoholized counterparts (~0.5% ABV), for physicochemical properties (volatiles, pH, AB...
