Exploring the effects of tomato extract supplementation on cognitive function during exercise and at rest (2019)
Journal Article
Chapman, N. H., Fisk, I., Craigon, J., Towey, C., Grant, I., & Brewer, J. (2019). Exploring the effects of tomato extract supplementation on cognitive function during exercise and at rest. Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences, 6(2),

It has been reported that tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit extracts may have beneficial effects on cognition. To assess if those effects are reproducible, cognitive function was assessed using a double-blind, randomised control trial design; 17 he...

Effect of olive oil phenolic compounds on the aroma release and persistence from O/W emulsion analysed in vivo by APCI-MS (2019)
Journal Article
Genovese, A., Caporaso, N., di Bari, V., Yang, N., & Fisk, I. (2019). Effect of olive oil phenolic compounds on the aroma release and persistence from O/W emulsion analysed in vivo by APCI-MS. Food Research International, 126, Article 108686. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2019.108686

The effect of the presence of virgin olive oil (VOO) phenolic compounds was studied during the in-vivo consumption of an olive oil-in-water (O/W) food emulsion, assessed by APCI-MS. VOO phenolic compounds were present at 593 mg kg . Four volatile com...

Mucin immobilization in calcium alginate: A possible mucus mimetic tool for evaluating mucoadhesion and retention of flavour (2019)
Journal Article
Dinu, V., Yakubov, G. E., Lim, M., Hurst, K., Adams, G. G., Harding, S. E., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Mucin immobilization in calcium alginate: A possible mucus mimetic tool for evaluating mucoadhesion and retention of flavour. International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 138, 831-836. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2019.07.148

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
Dinu, V., Gadon, A., Hurst, K., Lim, M., Ayed, C., Gillis, R. B., …Fisk, I. D. (2019). An enzymatically controlled mucoadhesive for enhancing flavour during food oral processing. npj Science of Food, 3(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-019-0043-y

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...

Real‐time quality authentication of honey using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry ( APCI ‐ MS ) (2019)
Journal Article
ElMasry, G., Morsy, N., Al‐Rejaie, S., Ayed, C., Linforth, R., & Fisk, I. (2019). Real‐time quality authentication of honey using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry ( APCI ‐ MS ). International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 54(11), 2983-2997. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijfs.14210

The aim of this study was to use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and APCI-MS techniques to detect adulteration in honey. The key volatile compounds in the headspace of the adulterated honeys were marked by GC-MS and their representative...

Aroma binding and stability in brewed coffee: A case study of 2-furfurylthiol (2019)
Journal Article
Sun, Z., Yang, N., Liu, C., Linforth, R. S., Zhang, X., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Aroma binding and stability in brewed coffee: A case study of 2-furfurylthiol. Food Chemistry, 295, 449-455. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.05.175

The aroma stability of fresh coffee brew was investigated during storage over 60 minutes, there was a substantial reduction in available 2-furfurylthiol (2-FFT) (84%), methanethiol (72%), 3-methyl-1H-pyrole (68%) and an increase of 2-pentylfuran (65%...

Food Biophysics, 14(3), 278-286. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11483-019-09574-2

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...
