Persistence of conditioned flavor preferences is not due to inadvertent food reinforcement.

Almond preferences were produced by giving rats a mixture of almond and sucrose (Experiments 1-4) or saccharin (Experiment 4). A subsequent extinction procedure consisted of either repeated 2-bottle almond versus water tests (Experiment 1) or repeated exposure to almond alone (Experiments 2-4). The main independent variable was whether access to food following a session was given immediately, 30 min later, or 120 min later. No effect of extinction was found in any experiment. An important finding was that varying the delay until food access had no detectable effect. It was concluded that inadvertent flavor-food associations do not maintain preference for the flavor under extinction conditions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Influence of Storage Time and Temperature on Absorption of Flavor Compounds from Solutions by Plastic Packaging Materials

ABSTRACT: Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), oriented polypropylene (OPP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET film and PET bottle), and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) were stored in a model solution containing 10 flavor compounds at 4, 20, and 40 °C and flavor absorption by the plastic materials was followed in time. The absorption rate and/or total amount absorbed increased considerably with temperature from 4 to 40 °C. Depending on storage temperature, total flavor absorption by the polyolefins (LLDPE and OPP) was 3 to 2400 times higher than by the polyesters (PC, PET, and PEN). Therefore, in the factor of flavor absorption, polyesters are preferred over polyolefins as packaging material.     

地理环境与先秦南北饮食文化

先秦时期是我国饮食文化的形成时期，受地理环境的强烈影响，逐渐形成了以秦岭-淮河一线为界的南北两个主要的饮食文化区域：黄河中下游地区为中心的北方饮食文化区，是以旱地粮食作物黍、稷、粟等为主食，陆地动物为辅食，烧、烤、炸为主要烹饪方法的北方饮食风味；长江中下游地区为中心的南方饮食文化区，是以水田粮食作物稻米为主食，陆地动物和水产动植物为辅食，蒸、炖、煎为主要烹饪方法的南方饮食风味。     

麻辣香肠的研制

香肠作为具有中国特色的传统肉制品，倍受广大消费者的喜爱，然而传统香肠单一口味已不能满足那些喜爱吃麻辣口味的消费者的需求，特别是在秋冬季节，吃麻辣已成为一种流行趋势，开发麻辣口味香肠，迎合消费者需求已是一种趋势；本试验采用正交设计方案。确定食盐、白糖、红辣椒粉、复合香辛料的添加量分别为：3％、2％、0．5％、0．41％。     

Glucose and Internal Cooking Temperature Effects on Low Fat, Pre- and Post-Rigor, Restructured Beef Roasts

Muscles were excised pre-rigor (hot-boned, HB) or post-rigor (conventionally boned, CB), chunked, and were subjected to four ingredient treatments: (SPE) 2% NaCl, 0.5% NaCl, 0.5% phosphate, 2% glucose (SP 2% NaCl, 0.5% phosphate (SG) 2% NaCl, 2% glucose and (PG) 0.5% phosphate, 2% glucose to produce low fat, restructured, beef roasts, which were cooked to an internal temperature of 63 or 93°C. Addition of glucose to a salt and phosphate (LEM-O-FOS¹) ingredient treatment as well as cooking to 93°C helped maintain low warmed-over flavor (WOF) scores and kept thiobarbituric acid values below threshold (< 1.0) while maintaining desirable consumer acceptability scores.     

Physical, Chemical and Sensory Changes in Irradiated Fresh Pork Packaged in Modified Atmosphere

The effects of irradiation dose (0, 0.5 and 1.0 kGy), headspace oxygen (0, 10 and 20% O₂, balance nitrogen) and storage temperature (5, 15 and 25°C) on the physical, chemical and sensory changes in fresh pork were studied using factorial design experiments. Irradiation in the absence of oxygen extended the sensory shelf life of pork from 9 to 26 days at 5°C and from & lt; 2 to 2 days at 25°C. Oxygen in the package headspace combined with irradiation adversely affected physical, chemical and sensory characteristics of the end product.     

试论鲁酒的风格特点

鲁酒整体上可分为浓香型粮食白酒、芝麻香型白酒和大众白酒。浓香型粮食白酒的风格特点有别于四川浓香型白酒，年产量近30万吨。四大酯的量比关系不同，川酒己乳比在1：0．65，鲁酒的己乳比在1：0．8；川酒突出己酸乙酯，窖香浓郁、香好，而鲁酒的风格则是窖香淡雅、醇和绵甜、顺柔爽净，味好。芝麻香型白酒则是鲁酒风格的典型代表，为全国白酒十大香型之一，典型代表酒是景芝白干。分两大流派：一是淡雅型芝麻香，特别是口感清正淡雅、爽净、芝麻香幽雅。以景芝白干、景阳神为代表；二是窖香型芝麻香。特点是窖香幽雅，绵甜醇和。芝麻香突出。以水浒特曲108为代表。大众白酒是鲁酒的优势产品。也是山东的传统酒。特点是口味纯正、香味协调、绵甜爽净，以国家优质酒坊子白酒为代表。
