© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Humans are innately predisposed to enjoy sweetness. However, excessive sugar consumption has been linked to a range of health issues. In order to develop an effective strategy to provide customised products and promote healthy eat...

The effect of consumption context on consumer hedonics, emotional response and beer choice (2019)
Journal Article
Nijman, M., James, S., Dehrmann, F., Smart, K., Ford, R., & Hort, J. (2019). The effect of consumption context on consumer hedonics, emotional response and beer choice. Food Quality and Preference, 74, 59-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2019.01.011

The context of a consumer test affects participant response. Data collected in a sensory laboratory is likely to have little predictive value of consumer experience in real-life situations. This study determined the effects of context on consumer res... Read More about The effect of consumption context on consumer hedonics, emotional response and beer choice.

Using a combined temporal approach to evaluate the influence of ethanol concentration on liking and sensory attributes of lager beer (2018)
Journal Article
Ramsey, I., Ross, C., Ford, R., Fisk, I., Yang, Q., Gomez-Lopez, J., & Hort, J. (2018). Using a combined temporal approach to evaluate the influence of ethanol concentration on liking and sensory attributes of lager beer. Food Quality and Preference, 68, 292-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2018.03.019

A low alcohol beer evoking similar sensory enjoyment as its higher alcohol counterpart is potentially an attractive proposition to breweries for increased sales volumes, as well as consumers due to health and societal reasons. This study aimed to det... Read More about Using a combined temporal approach to evaluate the influence of ethanol concentration on liking and sensory attributes of lager beer.

Variation in thermally induced taste response across thermal tasters (2018)
Journal Article
Skinner, M., Eldeghaidy, S., Ford, R., Giesbrecht, T., Thomas, A., Francis, S., & Hort, J. (2018). Variation in thermally induced taste response across thermal tasters. Physiology and Behavior, 188, 67-78. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2018.01.017

Thermal tasters (TTs) perceive thermally induced taste (thermal taste) sensations when the tongue is stimulated with temperature in the absence of gustatory stimuli, while thermal non tasters (TnTs) only perceive temperature. This is the first study... Read More about Variation in thermally induced taste response across thermal tasters.

An automated method to detect and quantify fungiform papillae in the human tongue: Validation and relationship to phenotypical differences in taste perception (2017)
Journal Article
Eldeghaidy, S., Thomas, D., Skinner, M., Ford, R., Giesbrecht, T., Thomas, A., …Francis, S. (2018). An automated method to detect and quantify fungiform papillae in the human tongue: Validation and relationship to phenotypical differences in taste perception. Physiology and Behavior, 184, 226-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2017.12.003

Determination of the number of fungiform papillae (FP) on the human tongue is an important measure that has frequently been associated with individual differences in oral perception, including taste sensitivity. At present, there is no standardised m...

Investigating the oronasal contributions to metallic perception (2017)
Journal Article
Skinner, M., Lim, M., Tarrega, A., Ford, R. A., Linforth, R. S., Thomas, A., & Hort, J. (2017). Investigating the oronasal contributions to metallic perception. International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 52(6), 1299-1306. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijfs.13417

Metallic taints elicited when consuming food can be unpleasant for the consumer, and are therefore problematic to food manufacturers. Although metallic has been proposed as a taste in the past, evidence remains inconclusive. This study investigates... Read More about Investigating the oronasal contributions to metallic perception.

Thermal taster status: evidence of cross-modal integration (2016)
Journal Article
Hort, J., Ford, R. A., Eldeghaidy, S., & Francis, S. T. (2016). Thermal taster status: evidence of cross-modal integration. Human Brain Mapping, 37(6), 2263-2275. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.23171

Thermal taster status refers to the finding that, in some individuals, thermal stimulation of the tongue elicits a phantom taste. Little is known regarding the mechanism for this, it is hypothesised to be a result of cross-wiring between gustatory an...

The interactions of CO2, ethanol, hop acids and sweetener on flavour perception in a model beer (2011)
Journal Article
Clark, R. A., Hewson, L., Bealin-Kelly, F., & Hort, J. (2011). The interactions of CO2, ethanol, hop acids and sweetener on flavour perception in a model beer. Chemosensory Perception, 4(1-2), 42-54. doi:10.1007/s12078-011-9087-3

Beer is a complex beverage. Beer flavour is a multisensory experience in which, in addition to aroma volatiles, CO2, ethanol, bitterness (hop acids) and sweetness all contribute. To investigate the interactions between these fundamental components, a... Read More about The interactions of CO2, ethanol, hop acids and sweetener on flavour perception in a model beer.

Effects of Ethanol, Carbonation and Hop Acids on Volatile Delivery in a Model Beer System (2011)
Journal Article
