Controlled continuous flow delivery system for investigating taste-aroma interactions
Abstract
A multichannel flavor delivery system, Dynataste, was developed. Controlled amounts of isoamyl acetate (100 ppm) and sucrose (0-3%) solution was administered to experienced and naïve assessors who used time intensity techniques to record perceived 'fruit' flavor intensity. In-nose volatile delivery was monitored using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry. Results indicated that sucrose is a key driver of fruit flavor intensity but that the magnitude of the effect varies between individuals. The combined temporal analysis of chemical stimuli in vivo and sensory data indicate evidence of interactions at a perceptual level. Comparison of experienced and naïve assessors revealed cross-modal interactions in each group, although a subgroup of experienced assessors was unaffected by changes in sucrose concentration. This raises the question of the selected use of experienced panels in cross modal investigations.

A subgroup of trained assessors was unaffected by cross-modal aroma-sweetness interactions.
“While evaluating the intensity of fruit flavour, Hort and Hollowood [112] further found that a subgroup of trained assessors was una ected by cross-modal aroma-sweetness interactions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
