Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed the profiles of non-volatile compounds like caffeine and chlorogenic acid in coffee extracts, using an electronic tongue (E-tongue) to assess taste attributes such as sourness, bitterness, and saltiness.
  • - Volatile compounds responsible for coffee's aroma were identified, with 2-Furanmethanol, benzene ethanol, nonanal, and pyridine detected through an electronic nose (E-nose) and GC-MS-O techniques.
  • - Neurophysiological effects showed that inhaling coffee volatiles led to different brain wave activations in men and women, while drinking coffee produced similar effects by activating mid-beta waves in both sexes.

This study was to identify taste and volatile characteristics in broccoli florets under various storage conditions (room and cold temperatures). Electronic tongue (E-tongue) analysis revealed that the differences were not represented obviously according to the storage temperatures. The sourness sensor (SRS) was the highest in the 2nd week, and the saltiness sensor (STS) was the highest in the 1st week.

In this study, we investigated the effect of roasting conditions and time on the physicochemical properties of pomegranate seed oil. We analyzed the fatty acid, total phenolic, flavonoid, tocopherol, and phytosterol contents of pomegranate seed oil extracted under four conditions: raw, heated at 160°C for 15 min, heated at 160°C for 20 min, and heated at 180°C for 10 min, which included three that were well-established to enhance nutritional and flavor properties. Furthermore, the oxidative stability was evaluated based on the acid value, peroxide value, and induction period.

This study investigated the effects of oven-roasting temperature (160, 180, and 200 ℃) and time (5, 10, 15, and 20 min) on pomegranate seeds. Physicochemical properties, such as color (L*, a*, and b* values), browning index (BI), total phenolic and flavonoid contents, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity, and chemosensory properties, including taste and volatile compounds, were analyzed. The L* and a* values, and level of sourness, umami, sweetness, and terpenes decreased, whereas the b* value, BI, and level of saltiness, bitterness, furan derivatives, pyrazines, and sulfur-containing compounds, increased with roasting time.

This study analyzed the flavor of six types of hemp seed oil (HSO) extracted with roasted hemp seed (RHS) under various conditions (Raw, 140 °C_9 min, 140 °C_12 min, 160 °C_12 min, 180 °C_6 min). Electronic tongue (E-tongue), electronic nose (E-nose), GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), and GC-O (gas chromatography-olfactometry) were used for HSO flavor analysis. As a result of the E-tongue analysis, the sweetness tends to increase in most samples as roasting.

Pet owners think of their animals as part of their family, which further promotes the growth of the pet food market, encouraging pet owners to select nutritious, palatable, and high-quality foods for pets. Therefore, the evaluation of taste and volatile compounds in pet foods is essential to improve palatability. In this study, the sensory characteristics of taste and odor compounds in 10 commercially available dry dog foods were investigated using electronic tongue (E-tongue), electronic nose (E-nose), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O).

The present study is to investigate the non-volatile and volatile profiles in radish according to the different oven roasting processing. In non-volatile compound profiles, different roasting temperatures (140-200 °C) and times (5, 10, 15, and 20 min) influenced non-volatile compounds in radishes, and high temperature roasted radish represented obvious changes than low temperature roasted radish. In volatile profiles, high temperature roasted radish were generated a higher number of Maillard reactions-related volatiles, including furfurals and 2-ethyl-5-methylpyrazine, than low temperature roasted radish.
