Beschreibungen

Unlike other human senses, the exact mechanisms that lead to our perception of flavor have not yet been elucidated. It is recognised that the process involves a wide range of stimuli, which are thought likely to interact in a complex way, but, since the chemical compounds and physical structures that activate the flavor sensors change as the food is eaten, measurements of the changes in stimuli with time are essential to an understanding of the relationship between stimuli and perception.<br /> <p>It is clear that we need to consider the whole process - the release of flavor chemicals in the mouth, the transport processes to the receptors, the specificity and characteristics of the receptors, the transduction mechanisms and the subsequent processing of signals locally and at higher centres in the brain.<br /> </p> <p>This book provides a state-of-the-art review of our current understanding of the key stages of flavor perception for those working in the flavor field, whether in the academic or industrial sector. In particular, it is directed at food scientists and technologists, ingredients suppliers and sensory scientists.</p>

"generally fascinating and beneficial to the reader....I really enjoyed reading this book due to the clarity maintained throughout its presentation.... The book is extremely useful to the researchers in the field of science and technology, in particular, to the people in flavour and senspry science. As a flavour chemist, I recommend it for its scope, readability, value and importance." (<i>International Journal of Food Science and Technology</i>, 2006, 41, 865-866)<br /> <p>Consumer perception of the sense of taste is not yet fully understood, and this book provides a highly detailed insight in to the fundamental factors that may affect our preferences for particular foods and beverages.<br /> This information may be simply applied into new product development, and thus could be highly prized. Marketing managers take note! (<i>Food Australia</i> (<i>AIFST Journal</i>), Vol 57, issue 6, June 2005)</p> <p>"Flavor Perception will interest biologists, psychologists and food technologists , and will be an aid to food companies trying to boost sales of their products."
