Sweet aftertaste (Huigan) is a sensation perceived after drinking tea, and lasts in the mouth and throat, leading to salivation for an extended period of time. The study aimed to reveal the underpinning mechanisms of Huigan and the its influencing factors. Tribology approach was applied to this study in conjunction with sensory analysis and other physiology assessments. Tea compounds of commercial interest were selected for the study. Preliminary sensory tests of 24 subjects were carried out to evaluate the Huigan intensity of these tea compounds. Based on these tests, 12 subjects were selected and divided into two groups, each with 6 subjects: sensitive subjects and non-sensitive subjects. In vitro tribology measurements were made for samples prepared either prepared as 1:1 mixtures of tea compound solution and human whole saliva or expectorated tea compound solutions along with the saliva which were collected from the subjects after oral processing. The Huigan intensity perceived by the sensitive group was found to be highly correlated with the friction coefficient measured, especially at the sliding speeds lower than 0.5 mm/s.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different plant-based oils in cookie recipes affect sensory attributes and consumers' willingness to buy them.
- 112 consumers evaluated six cookie samples made with various vegetable oils and butter, using a range of sensory terms to describe their experiences.
- Results showed that cookies made with coconut oil and butter received the highest consumer acceptance, suggesting that coconut oil can effectively replace butter in vegan baking.

This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the differences in the taste characteristics of hawk black tea and hawk white tea, exploring the intrinsic relationship between nonvolatile metabolites and these taste characteristics. The results revealed significant differences in taste properties of the two types of hawk tea. Hawk black tea mainly exhibits a fresh, sweet, and sweet aftertaste quality, whereas hawk white tea offers a mellow and pure taste.

Intelligently processed black teas (BT) possess premium quality but there is a lack in comprehensive understanding of flavor formation mechanism. In this study, the accumulation of carotenoids, flavonoids, and Maillard products and (non)enzymatic degradations and conjugations to characterized flavors were comprehensively studied. Significant decrease was observed that flava-3-ols were heavily oxidised from > 240 mg·g in fresh leaves (FL) to < 30 mg·g, while other 21 flavonoids decreased by < 30% in BT, accompanied by a sweet aftertaste.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties influencing the sensory characteristics of long-term aged ganjang. Eight ganjang samples aged 3, 10, and 15 years were obtained from three different manufacturers and analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, sensory profiles, and consumer acceptability. The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, and crude fat), total solids, salinity, acidity, pH, color (L, a, b, chrome, and hue), 27 free amino acids (FAAs), and volatile compounds were analyzed.
