In recent years, there has been a rise in research on sensorium in various academic disciplines. Olfaction is recognized as a sense that is most closely linked to cognition, memory and emotion. Due to this unique feature, studies on various aspects of human olfaction are steadily gaining prominence in the humanities and social sciences. In order to understand how the olfactory modality is marked, several taxonomies and semantic spaces of olfactory terms have been developed. However, the focus has been on the general olfaction lexicon and there is a lack of systematic and comprehensive lexicons for fragrant smells. This article addresses this gap. It adopts a multilingual perspective and describes the process of developing a fragrance lexicon in two languages, Russian and English. A fragrance lexicon refers to a list of words that people might use to describe a perfume. The steps in the lexicon development included •sourcing the lexical items in the two languages•translating and cleaning the word lists•revising and refining the lexiconThe fragrance lexicon presented in this article can be used to aid linguistic analyses of naturally occurring communications about perfumes, such as computational analyses of consumer-generated perfume reviews.

Baijiu has rich and complex sensory characteristics, and how to make the sensory analysis results given by baijiu industrial experts better understood by consumers has been attracting a lot of attention. In this study, 35 strong-aroma baijiu samples were evaluated by 12 industrial experts and 21 semi-trained assessors, respectively, using rate-all-that-apply (RATA) methods, which involved 2 groups of lexicons generated by the 2 panels. The results showed that the RATA method was suitable for analyzing and distinguishing different baijiu samples by both industrial experts and semi-trained assessors.

Article Synopsis
- Wine has the ability to evoke emotions, leading researchers to explore how these emotions impact consumer preferences and purchasing decisions.
- The study uses a multidisciplinary approach, combining sensory analysis, emotional measurements, and chemical analysis to assess the emotional impact of various high-polyphenol red wines.
- Results indicate a strong correlation between measured emotions and sensory attributes, and for the first time, the study identifies autonomic nervous system responses linked to emotional reactions during wine tasting, highlighting the influence of specific aromatic compounds.
Development of a lexicon for the sensory description of edible insects commercially available in Australia.

Sensory lexicons provide an important tool for describing the sensory properties of emerging, unfamiliar foods such as edible insects. This study sought to establish and validate a sensory lexicon for the description and differentiation of edible insects commercially available in Australia and prepared using common preservation and cooking methods (freeze-drying, hot-air drying, roasting, sautéing and deep-frying). Five species were evaluated, including house crickets (Acheta domesticus), yellow mealworm larvae (Tenebrio molitor), king mealworm larvae (Zophobas morio), tyrant ants (Iridomyrmex spp.

To enhance the flavor characteristics of milk coffee, steam distillation was applied to roasted ground coffee to obtain extracts that were then added to the hot water extract of the residue. The effects of different condensation temperatures for steam distillation on the volatile compounds of condensates and the flavor characteristics of the milk coffees prepared with each condensate were investigated. The volatile compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the mean peak areas of the volatiles that showed significant differences between the samples.
