Sensory Perception of Saltiness and Bitterness in Oil-in-Water Emulsions
… was to evaluate saltiness and bitterness perception in oil-in-water emulsion systems. For that purpose, three experiments were performed: A sensory threshold study, a descriptive sensory and physical property evaluation, and a psychophysical assessment of taste perception in emulsion …

Investigating the Illusion of Wetness: Cold Dry Stimuli in Sensory Perception
… role of temperature and surface material in the perception of illusory wetness. The results showed that temperature was the more critical valuable, with ratings of perceived wetness increasing as the temperature decreased further below the baseline skin temperature. These experiments have …

Combining foods, combining tools: Understanding in vivo aroma release and sensory perception of composite foods
… that have attempted to relate aroma release and sensory perception are far from mimicking the real consumption context, as assessments often do not consider food oral processing during mastication and are performed on single or model foods. A multidisciplinary approach integrating in vivo aroma …
