The impact of the degree of polymerization and of the concentration of procyanidins in a model solution of French cider was investigated. Four purified fractions of procyanidins at three concentrations were added in a solution containing water, ethanol, fructose and malic acid. The four studied sensory characteristics (bitterness, astringency, sweetness and sourness) were modified according to the concentration of procyanidins. The degree of polymerization (DP) of procyanidins influenced only bitterness and astringency but this impact was not the same for all concentrations. Despite the fact that pH, fructose and malic acid concentrations were the same in all samples, the perception of sweetness and sourness were modified according to the concentration of procyanidins. 相似文献

Bitterness and astringency are attributes generally cited as the cause of tannin sorghums being unpalatable. The objective here was to determine the effect of sorghums with varying tannin content on bitterness and astringency simultaneously using dual attribute time‐intensity (DATI). A trained panel assessed bitterness and astringency of bran infusions of tannin and tannin‐free sorghums. In both sorghum types, bitterness developed and reached maximum intensity faster (Tmax 22.5 s; P < 0.001) than astringency (27.9 s). The duration of the astringent sensation (Dtot 69.9 s) lasted longer than bitterness (66.3 s). Overall, the temporal parameters for bitterness distinguished infusions from tannin and tannin‐free sorghums slightly more clearly than those for astringency. The research established that, for sorghum, bitterness and astringency are related. The DATI method also revealed that panellists’ perceptions of the time course of bitterness and astringency differ. 相似文献

Intensity of astringency and bitterness of seven flavonoid compounds was evaluated by a time‐intensity (TI) procedure. Eighteen trained judges rated intensity continuously from ingestion, through expectoration at 10 s until extinction of the sensation. The seven stimuli included two flavan‐3‐ol monomers, (+)‐catechin and (−)‐epicatechin, three dimers and two trimers synthesised from catechin or epicatechin by condensation with (+)‐dihydroquercitin. As the degree of polymerisation increased, maximum bitterness intensity (Imax) and total duration (Ttot) decreased whereas astringency Imax increased. The monomers were significantly higher in bitterness at Imax than the dimers, which were significantly higher than the trimers. Astringency Imax of the monomers was lower than the dimers or trimers, although no significant difference was found in Ttot among the polymer classes. The bond linking the monomeric units had an influence on both sensory properties. The catechin‐catechin dimer linked by a 4→6 bond was more bitter than both catechin‐(4→8)‐catechin and catechin‐(4→8)‐epicatechin. Astringency was affected by both the specific linkage and the identity of the monomeric units with the dimer, catechin‐(4→8)‐catechin, being lower in astringency than either catechin‐(4→6)‐catechin or catechin‐(4→8)‐epicatechin. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) traditionally used in winemaking was applied to sea buckthorn to reduce the high sourness of
the berry juice. Chemical and microbiological aspects, as well as sensory properties of the juice during MLF were studied
in order to develop an optimal process. In 1:1 water diluted juice with malic acid content of 15 g/l and pH 2.8, efficient
conversion of l-malic acid to l-lactic acid was achieved with direct inoculation of unadapted Oenococcus oeni at a cell density of 109 CFU/ml. The rapid malic acid degradation was performed by non-growing bacterial cells without loss of sugars, vitamin C,
or pulp oil. More than 50% of the initial malic acid was metabolized to lactic acid and CO2 already in 12 h of fermentation and a significant decrease in sourness and astringency was noticed. In 24 h fermentation,
pH value was increased to 3.1 and only 3 g/l malic acid remained in the juice. Prolonged fermentation had only minor effect
on malolactic reaction, but off-flavor of the juice began to increase. 相似文献

Current strategies for decreasing the bitterness of conventional foods often involve the addition of sucrose and sodium chloride. However this has limited application with functional foods, as they are health promoting, and other approaches are required. This study assesses the efficacy of high and low concentrations of five bitter inhibiting compounds [β-cyclodextrin (β-CYCLO), homoeriodictyol sodium salt (HED), zinc sulphate monohydrate (ZnSO4), magnesium sulphate (MgSO4), carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC)] on the perceived bitterness of high and low concentrations of (+)-catechin and caffeine – two ingredients used in functional food formulations. Intensity ratings (bitterness, sourness, saltiness, sweetness, savoriness, astringency, ‘other’) of bitterant-bitter blocker binary solutions were collected from a panel of twelve, in duplicate, using a 15 cm line scale. Overall, β-CYCLO and HED were the most effective blockers at decreasing the bitterness of (+)-catechin, while the bitterness of caffeine was reduced most effectively by HED. Results also demonstrate that the bitter reducing capacity of these blockers is bitterant dependent. In general, these bitter blockers elicit minimum side tastes and sensations, although astringency and viscosity intensities are increased under some conditions. We conclude that some bitter blockers show considerable potential for decreasing the bitterness of phenols and caffeine in functional food formulations. 相似文献

Flavor Characteristics of Lactic, Malic, Citric, and Acetic Acids at Various pH Levels 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:1
The objective of this study was, through the use of free-choice profiling, to determine flavor characteristics of four acids (citric, malic, lactic, acetic) and two acid blends (lactic/acetic 1:1 and 2:1) at three different pH levels (3.5, 4.5, 6.5) and at 0.2% (w/v). Research was conducted to explores flavor differences and similarities among common food acidulants. Generalized Procrustes Analysis was performed on free-choice profiling data, which resulted in three significant principal axes. The first principal axis was characterized by overall intensity and sourness, the second by vinegar and saltiness, and the third by astringency. 相似文献

The impact of the degree of polymerization (DP) of procyanidins and its interactions with fructose, acidity and alcohol in a model solution of cider was investigated. Four sensory characteristics (bitterness, astringency, sweetness and sourness) were studied. At 750 mg/L of procyanidins, the DP impacted astringency and bitterness but not sweetness or sourness. The medium DP (tetramer) of apple procyanidins was the most bitter and astringency increased with the DP. The impact of ethanol, fructose and acidity on the four sensory attributes was also examined. These results provide insights into how the components interact to produce the taste of cider. 相似文献

To examine the separate effects of viscosity and sweetness on astringency, aqueous solutions of grape seed tannin (GST) were thickened with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) from 2 to 45 cP (experiment 1) or sweetened with 0 to 1.8 g/L aspartame (experiment 2). Trained subjects continuously rated astringency and bitterness in duplicate. Subjects were categorized by the salivary flow induced by citric acid and ability to taste n-propyl thiouracil (PROP). In experiment 1, maximum intensity and total duration of astringency were significantly decreased as viscosity rose, although time to maximum intensity of astringency was not affected. Maximum intensity and total duration of bitterness were not significantly affected by increasing viscosity; however, the onset of bitterness was significantly delayed. In experiment 2, increasing sweetness had no affect on any astringency parameter, although maximum intensity of bitterness was significantly decreased. Neither PROP nor salivary flow-status had any effect on perception of bitterness or astringency in either experiment. 相似文献

Sensory quality and compositional characteristics of blackcurrant juices produced by different processes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Effects of enzymatic and non-enzymatic juice pressing on key orosensory and chemical quality factors of blackcurrant juices were studied in laboratory scale using berries of five different cultivars (Mortti, Mikael, Marski, Ola and Breed15). Enzymatic processing increased the juice yield by 10–22% and the content of various phenolic compounds in juice by 4–10-fold as compared to the non-enzymatic process. Higher intensity of the mouth-drying astringency of the enzyme-aided juice was the most significant orosensory difference between the processes. Juices of different blackcurrant cultivars varied in sweetness, sourness and bitterness. The most intensive sensory attributes of the juices were sourness and puckering astringency regardless of processing method. They correlated positively with each other and were contributed by acid content and pH. In enzyme-aided juices, the contents of flavonol glycosides and hydroxycinnamic acids were associated with mouth-drying astringency, and sugar/acid ratio correlated with sweetness. These correlations were less clear in non-enzyme juices possibly due to lower content of phenolic compounds and the high content of pectin. 相似文献

Samples of dilute HCl intended to result in mixtures with saliva with pH levels below, near and above the level of maximum protein-polyphenol interaction were presented to panelists. Significant differences in astringency were seen, but no evidence of a decline in astringency with stronger acid.Panelists abstained from tea drinking for some time, then drank two or more cups of green tea per day for some days, and finally omitted tea drinking for a period. Salivary polyphenol levels were determined throughout the experiment. Drinking green tea resulted in a highly significant (p < 0.01) increase in salivary polyphenol levels that persisted for some days. Very dilute HCl solutions (0, 0.005, 0.006 and 0.007 N) were presented to panelists before, during and after the period of tea drinking and rated for astringency and sourness. Astringency and sourness intensity ratings increased significantly (p < 0.01) during the period of tea drinking. It appears that there is a metabolic pool of polyphenol that is influenced by dietary habits. It appears likely that the salivary polyphenol level influences perception of astringency caused by acids. 相似文献

Several factors – genetic, demographic and environmental – contribute to individual differences in sensitivity to the pharmacological effects of caffeine. Caffeine metabolism influences coffee consumption, but its effect on bitterness perception in, and preference for, coffee is unknown.This study explores the possible relationship between caffeine metabolism rate and coffee preferences and consumption habits. In addition, the extent to which caffeine metabolism interacted with variations in bitterness perception was investigated. Caffeine metabolism rate was assayed by competitive immuno-enzymatic assay in one-hundred thirty-five coffee consumers who provided saliva samples after 12 h caffeine abstinence and at 30 and 90 min after ingestion of caffeine (100 mg). A caffeine metabolism index (CmI) was computed as the ratio between the amount of residual caffeine in saliva 60 min after the adsorption peak and the amount of caffeine at the adsorption peak corrected with the baseline. Ninety-one subjects were selected to investigate the relationships between inter-individual variation in caffeine metabolism, bitterness perception and coffee preference. Subjects rated liking for, and sourness, bitterness and astringency of, six unsweetened and freely sweetened coffee samples varying in roasting degree, caffeine content and bitterness. They also rated the bitterness of six caffeine and six quinine (equi-intense) solutions. Finally, subjects choose coffee to drink on the basis of a label (strong vs balanced flavor) both after caffeine abstinence and after no restrictions on caffeine intake. The CmI was strongly associated with the frequency of daily coffee consumption. Subjects with lower CmI gave higher bitterness ratings than other subjects for both coffee and caffeine solutions, but not for quinine solutions. They also added more sugar to the coffee samples. Following caffeine abstinence, all subjects chose the “strong flavor” coffee, while without caffeine restrictions, subjects with lower CmI preferentially tended to choose the “balanced flavor” coffee. These results provide the first link between caffeine metabolism and bitterness perception, and to the use of sugar to modify coffee bitterness. 相似文献

This paper is dedicated to the memory of colleague and friend, Dr. Samson Agboola, who recently passed away. Abstract: The use of flavor‐modifying strategies are important to improving the sensory profile of some excessively bitter and astringent functional ingredients, such as (+)‐catechin (CAT). Two bitter blockers (ß‐cyclodextrin [CYCLO], homoeriodictyol sodium salt [HED]), two sweeteners (sucrose [SUC], rebaudioside A [REB]), and two odorants (vanillin [VAN], black tea aroma [TEA]) were assessed for their efficacy at modifying the bitterness and astringency of CAT in model aqueous solutions. The intensity of oral sensations elicited by CAT was determined in duplicate in binary, ternary, and quaternary mixtures of these stimuli by a trained panel (n= 15) using a 15 cm visual analogue scale. Overall, bitterness and astringency were most effectively reduced by ternary solutions containing CYCLO + REB or CYCLO + SUC (68%, 60%, and 45%, 43% for bitterness and astringency, respectively). Odorants were not effective at modifying the bitterness or astringency of CAT. We conclude that the use of select bitter blockers and sweeteners may be of value in optimizing the flavor and acceptance of functional food and beverages fortified with phenolic compounds. Practical Application: (+)‐Catechin is a bitter‐tasting plant‐derived health‐promoting phenolic compound of interest to functional food and beverage manufacturers. We investigated the efficacy of bitter blockers, plant‐based sweeteners, and odorants in decreasing the bitterness and astringency elicited by (+)‐catechin. Some of these additives, both alone and in combination, reduced bitterness and astringency, and may therefore assist in optimizing the flavor and consumer acceptance of some phenolic‐based functional foods and beverages. 相似文献

Bitterness and Astringency of Sinapine and Its Components 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sinapine, choline chloride, and sinapic acid were evaluated for bitterness and astringency, at suprathreshold concentrations in water, by a trained sensory panel using magnitude estimation. Power functions (S = kCn) were established for the bitterness of each of the three chemicals and the reference caffeine; none of the exponents for bitterness was significantly different from caffeine (n = 0.98) suggesting that, for any of these taste precursors, a doubling of concentration would double the bitterness perceived. Equimolar solutions of caffeine and sinapine were considered similar in intensity and significantly more bitter than choline chloride; sinapic acid was intermediate in bitterness. The sum of the bitterness values calculated from the power functions for choline chloride and sinapic acid accounted for approximately 80% of the bitterness of sinapine, at equimolar concentrations. Fifty to 94% of the bitterness perceived from tasting water slurries of rapeseed flour and protein concentrate was explained by the bitterness expected from their content of sinapine and free choline. Reliable power functions could not be established for the astringency of sinapine, choline chloride, and sinapic acid at the concentrations used. However, a clear psychophysical function was established for the astringency of the reference alum. 相似文献

The flavour perception of cheese results from complex sensory interactions between tastes and aromas. Using a model cheese solution, this study investigated perceived interactions between each of five basic tastes and a cheese aroma mixture containing ten volatile compounds commonly found in cheese. The five tastes – sucrose (sweetness), sodium chloride (NaCl) (saltiness), monosodium glutamate (MSG) (umami), lactic acid (sourness), and caffeine (bitterness) – were individually mixed with cheese aroma in water using a 5 taste level (0.2 log series) by 3 aroma level (0.5 log series) design. Aroma controls with no added taste were also included. This resulted in 18 samples for each single taste–aroma combination. An additional 18 samples were produced using a mixture of all 5 tastes with the 3 aroma levels. A panel of trained assessors (n = 10) evaluated cheese flavour intensity and taste intensity using 100 point line scales. Evaluation was carried out in duplicate, with samples grouped by taste type; 1 evaluation session per taste per replicate. Within type, order of presentation was balanced, and taste type order was randomised between replicates. Cheese flavour intensity was enhanced by sucrose and NaCl, while being suppressed by lactic acid. NaCl enhanced cheese flavour intensity the most at high aroma level, while lactic acid suppressed the most at low aroma level. When MSG level was increased, cheese flavour intensity was enhanced at both low and medium aroma levels, but was suppressed at the high aroma level. The greatest enhancement of cheese flavour intensity was found with the mixture of 5 tastes. Aroma significantly enhanced umami and bitterness, but did not enhance sweetness, saltiness, or sourness. This study showed that the perceived interaction between taste and cheese aroma depended on taste type and on the concentration levels of both taste type and aroma. The mixture of tastes was more effective at enhancing cheese flavour intensity than single tastes. This study provides knowledge that will underpin further study of taste–aroma interactions in a model cheese that aims to optimise cheese flavour intensity and character. 相似文献

Temporal Check‐All‐That‐Apply (TCATA) is a new dynamic sensory method for which analysis techniques are still being developed and optimized. In this study, TCATA methodology was applied for the evaluation of wine finish by trained panelists (n = 13) on Syrah wines with different ethanol concentrations (10.5% v/v and 15.5% v/v). Raw data were time standardized to create a percentage of finish duration, subsequently segmented into thirds (beginning, middle, and end) to capture panel perception. Results indicated the finish of the high ethanol treatments lasted longer (approximately 12 s longer) than the low ethanol treatment (P ≤ 0.05). Within each finish segment, Cochran's Q was conducted on each attribute and differences were detected amongst treatments (P ≤ 0.05). Pairwise tests showed the high ethanol treatments were more described by astringency, heat/ethanol burn, bitterness, dark fruit, and spices, whereas the low ethanol treatment was more characterized by sourness, red fruit, and green flavors (P ≤ 0.05). This study demonstrated techniques for dealing with the data generated by TCATA. Furthermore, this study further characterized the influence of ethanol on wine finish, and by extension wine quality, with implications to winemakers responsible for wine processing decisions involving alcohol management. 相似文献

A rapidly growing area of whey protein use is in beverages. There are 2 types of whey protein-containing beverages: those at neutral pH and those at low pH. Astringency is very pronounced at low pH. Astringency is thought to be caused by compounds in foods that bind with and precipitate salivary proteins; however, the mechanism of astringency of whey proteins is not understood. The effect of viscosity and pH on the astringency of a model beverage containing whey protein isolate was investigated. Trained sensory panelists (n = 8) evaluated the viscosity and pH effects on astringency and basic tastes of whey protein beverages containing 6% wt/vol protein. Unlike what has been shown for alum and polyphenols, increasing viscosity (1.6 to 7.7 mPa·s) did not decrease the perception of astringency. In contrast, the pH of the whey protein solution had a major effect on astringency. A pH 6.8 whey protein beverage had a maximum astringency intensity of 1.2 (15-point scale), whereas that of a pH 3.4 beverage was 8.8 (15-point scale). Astringency decreased between pH 3.4 and 2.6, coinciding with an increase in sourness. Decreases in astringency corresponded to decreases in protein aggregation as observed by turbidity. We propose that astringency is related to interactions between positively charged whey proteins and negatively charged saliva proteins. As the pH decreased between 3.4 and 2.6, the negative charge on the saliva proteins decreased, causing the interactions with whey proteins to decrease. 相似文献

Bitterness and astringency of the monomeric flavan-3-o!s ( + )-catechin and (?)-epicatechin were rated using time-intensity (T-I) methodology. Three concentration levels (0.5. 0.9 and 1.2 g liter?1) oi each compound were assessed, and the parameters time to maximum intensity (TMAX), intensity at the maximum (IMAX) and total duration (TTOT) were extracted from the T-I curves. No differences in TMAX for either bitterness or astringency were found between these chiral isomers or as a function of concentration within a compound. Epicatechin had a significantly higher bitter IMAX than catechin at all three concentration levels, and had a significantly longer TTOT at the two higher concentrations. Epicatechin was more astringent than catechin. but this was only significant at one concentration. Astringency TTOT was longer for epicatechin, although this was nonsignificant at the lowest concentration. The three concentrations of catechin were significantly different for both bitterness and astringency IMAX and TTOT. Epicatechin showed evidence for the astringency response plateauing above the 0.9 g litre?1 level. n-Propylthiouracil status had no effect on perception of either bitterness or astringency. 相似文献

Carbonation Interactions with Sweetness and Sourness 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of CO2 level on sweetness and of sweetener level on carbonation perception were measured in two sweetened systems. The effects of CO2 level on sourness and of acid level on carbonation perception were measured in two acidulated systems. The effects were measured at concentrations in ranges of 2-16% (w/v) sucrose, 0.015-0.12% (w/v) aspartame, 0.02-0.29% (w/v) citric acid, and 0.015-0.06% (v/v) phosphoric acid. Little effect of carbonation on sweetness was found in either sweetened system. Sucrose at 16% (w/v) reduced carbonation perception. Carbonation enhanced sourness ratings at the lower acid levels and had no effect at higher acid levels for either acid. No effect of acid level on carbonation perception was found. 相似文献
