Journal Article
Liu, C., Yang, N., Yang, Q., Ayed, C., Linforth, R., & Fisk, I. D. (2019). Enhancing Robusta coffee aroma by modifying flavour precursors in the green coffee bean. Food Chemistry, 281, 8-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.12.080

© 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...

A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature (2018)
Journal Article
Lv, C., Wang, X., Chen, J., Yang, N., & Fisk, I. (2019). A non-invasive measurement of tongue surface temperature. Food Research International, 116, 499-507. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2018.08.066

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...

Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, C., Yang, Q., Linforth, R., Fisk, I. D., & Yang, N. (2019). Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment. Food Chemistry, 272, 251-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2018.07.226

Green Robusta beans were subjected to pre-treatment with the aim of reducing the perceived aroma difference between Arabica and Robusta coffee. Treatment was a short soaking procedure with varying concentrations of acetic acid (up to 5%). Samples wer... Read More about Modifying Robusta coffee aroma by green bean chemical pre-treatment.

The role of phenolic compounds in olive oil aroma release (2018)
Journal Article
Genovese, A., Yang, N., Linforth, R. S., Sacchi, R., & Fisk, I. D. (2018). The role of phenolic compounds in olive oil aroma release. Food Research International, 112, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodres.2018.06.054

In this study, atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) was successfully applied to understand the effect of phenolic compounds on the release of olive oil aroma compounds. Eight aroma compounds were monitored under in-viv... Read More about The role of phenolic compounds in olive oil aroma release.

Characterization of volatile aroma compounds after in-vial cooking of foxtail millet porridge with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Yang, N., Fray, R. G., Fisk, I., Liu, C., Li, H., & Han, Y. (in press). Characterization of volatile aroma compounds after in-vial cooking of foxtail millet porridge with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Journal of Cereal Science, 82, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcs.2018.05.003

Foxtail millet has become popular over recent years for its nutritional value and ecological functions. The aroma of foxtail millet is not well characterized, which is critical for its eating quality and understanding the biochemistry and genetics of...
