Exploring the relationships between perceived umami intensity, umami components and electronic tongue responses in food matrices. Food Chem 2022; 368:130849. [PMID: 34419796 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.130849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Revised: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Umami intensity promotes food flavor blending and food choice, while a universal quantification procedure is still lacking. To evaluate perceived umami intensity (PUI) in seven categories of foods, modified two-alternative forced choice (2-AFC) method with monosodium glutamate as reference was applied. Meanwhile, we explored whether equivalent umami concentration (EUC) by chemical analysis and electronic tongue (E-tongue) are applicable in PUI quantification. The results indicated that EUC was appropriate in quantifying PUI of samples from meat, dairy, vegetable and mushroom groups (r = 1.00, p < 0.05). Moreover, models with a good prediction capacity for PUI and EUC (R2 > 0.99) were established in separated food categories by back propagation neural networks, where E-tongue data were set as input. This study explored the effectiveness of the three methods in evaluating the PUIs of various foods, which provides multiple choices for the food industry.

Abstract
Background: Food fortification is an effective strategy that has been recommended for improving population calcium inadequate intakes. Increasing calcium concentration of water has been proposed as a possible strategy to improve calcium intake. The objective of this study was to determine the sensory threshold of different calcium salts added to drinking water using survival analysis. Methods: We performed the triangle test methodology for samples of water with added calcium using three different calcium salts: calcium chloride, calcium gluconate and calcium lactate. For each salt, a panel of 54 consumers tested seven batches of three water samples. Data were adjusted for chance and sensory threshold was estimated using the survival methodology and a discrimination of 50%. Results: The threshold value estimation for calcium gluconate was 587 ± 131 mg/L of water, corresponding to 25% discrimination, for calcium lactate was 676 ± 186 mg/L, corresponding to 50% discrimination, and for calcium chloride was 291 ± 73 mg/L, corresponding to 50% discrimination. Conclusions: These results show that water with calcium added in different salts and up to a concentration of 500 mg of calcium/L of water is feasible. The calcium salt allowing the highest calcium concentration with the lowest perceived changes in taste was calcium gluconate. Future studies need to explore stability and acceptability over longer periods of time.

Abstract
Disodium succinate (WSA) contributes to umami taste in seafoods and it is abundantly found in scallops. However, the actual application of WSA in foods is limited due to a lack of understanding of its taste characteristics and stability. In this study, two-alternative forced choice method was used to determine the relative umami intensity of WSA compared to monosodium glutamate, as well as the relative umami intensity under different conditions (pH and temperature). WSA concentration-taste intensity curve was established, which fitted well with a logarithmic-linear regression (R2 = 0.96). WSA exhibited the strongest umami intensity at 25 °C, 0.1% Na+ addition, and pH 7.5. It also had a good thermal stability, which met the needs of high temperature heating during food processing. In conclusion, this research provided useful information on umami characteristics of WSA and the results widen the application of WSA in the food industry.

[PMID: 31658647 PMCID: PMC6836104 DOI: 10.3390/foods8100465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 10/01/2019] [Accepted: 10/04/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
It is currently unclear whether changes in sweet taste perception of model systems after sleep curtailment extend to complex food matrices. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to use a novel solid oat-based food (crisps) and oat-based beverage stimulus sweetened with sucralose to assess changes in taste perception after sleep curtailment. Forty-one participants recorded a habitual and curtailed night of sleep using a single-channel electroencephalograph. The next morning, overall sweetness, flavor, and texture liking responses to energy- and nutrient-matched oat products across five concentrations of sweetness were measured. Overall (p = 0.047) and flavor (p = 0.017) liking slopes across measured concentrations were steeper after curtailment, suggesting that sweeter versions of the oat products were liked more after sleep curtailment. Additionally, a hierarchical cluster analysis was used to classify sweet likers and non-likers. While the effect of sleep curtailment on sweet liking did not differ between sweet liking classification categories, sleep curtailment resulted in decreased texture liking in the solid oat crisps for sweet non-likers (p < 0.001), but not in the oat beverage. These findings illustrate the varied effects of sleep on hedonic response in complex food matrices and possible mechanisms by which insufficient sleep can lead to sensory-moderated increases in energy intake.

Abstract
Short sleep duration increases preferences for high-carbohydrate and high-fat foods. It is unclear if insufficient sleep-induced changes in food preference are mediated by changes in taste perception and if these changes are related to sweetener type (sucrose or sucralose) or sweet liking phenotype. The primary objective of this study was to determine if sleep curtailment results in changes in sweet taste perception after sleep curtailment. Forty participants used a single-channel electroencephalograph to record both a habitual and curtailed night (33% reduction) of sleep at home. The following morning, multiple dimensions of sweet taste perception were measured, including preferred sweetener concentrations, patterns of sweet liking, and intensity perception over a range of concentrations. After curtailment, a significant increase in preferred concentration for both sucrose and sucralose (p < 0.001 for both) was observed. The slope of sucrose sweet liking increased after curtailment (p = 0.001). The slope of sucralose liking also increased, but this was not significant (p = 0.129). Intensity perception of the sweeteners was not altered by curtailment. Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to classify participants by sweet liking phenotype. Phenotypes were found to predict preferred sweetener concentration. These findings illustrate a possible need to control for sleep in food sensory studies and suggest a potential mechanism by which insufficient sleep can lead to excess energy intake.
