Phenolic compounds have been extensively studied in recent years. The presence of these various foods has associated with sensory and health promoting properties. These products from the secondary metabolism plants act as defense mechanisms against environmental stress attack by other organisms. They are divided into different classes according to their chemical structures. objective this study was describe phenolic compounds, main food sources factors variation, besides methods for...
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to demonstrate the value and differences between three approaches measuring extrinsic product attribute influences on consumer acceptance Australian wines. included complimentary tasks: conjoint assessment wine concepts (derived from a free sorting task), liking ratings for commercial labels real‐choice where same bottles were presented choose their preferred based label. Results indicated that price region greatest utility. Findings real choice task...
It has been suggested that access to high caloric food attenuates stress response. The present paper investigates whether commercial chow enriched with glucose and fat, here referred as comfort alters behavioral, metabolic, hormonal parameters of rats submitted three daily sessions foot-shock stress. Food intake, anxiety-like behaviors, serum levels insulin, leptin, corticosterone, triglycerides were determined. decreased the intake chow, but kept unaltered food. During elevated plus maze...
Abstract Objective To investigate the relative importance of specific health knowledge and taste on acceptance Brassica vegetables (broccoli, red green cabbages, broccolini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts). Design In a sample adults all reporting medium–high physical activity (as marker/control behaviour) either low (≤2 portions/d) or high (≥3 vegetable intake, half those with consumption (Li group) (Hi received cancer protection information, while other did not (Ln Hn groups), before hedonic...
Kombucha is a fermented beverage traditionally made from the leaves of Camelia sinensis. The market has drastically expanded recently, and become more elaborated with new, healthy food materials flavors. Pruning harvesting during coffee production may generate tons that are discarded although they contain substantial amounts bioactive compounds, including those found in maté tea seeds. This study characterized changes volatilome, microbial, sensory profiles pure blended arabica leaf...
Plant-based milk has gained considerable attention; however, its high nutritional variation highlights the need for improved formulation designs to enhance quality. This study aimed nutritionally compare cow with plant-based produced from hazelnuts (H), Brazil nuts (BN), cashew (CN), soybeans (S), and sunflower seeds (SS), perform physicochemical technological characterization. The isolated grains showed a composition inferior that of in almost all evaluated parameters, protein content (up 1.1 g 100
ABSTRACT Five conventional chocolates were produced with different sucrose concentrations (from 40 to 52%) in order determine ideal sweetness by acceptance test, and it was found that 43% milk chocolate has the sweetness. Sucrose replaced bulking agents sucralose or stevioside prepare diabetic 11 selected trained judges determined temporal characteristic of these chocolates. Sucralose is 700 times sweeter than this product, stevioside, 200 times. Considering potencies, they presented a...
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a well known relay station for auditory pathways in the brainstem. Much evidence has implicated this structure as part of brain system mediating aversive states, and changes its functioning responsible occurrence audiogenic seizures. Rats were implanted with chemitrodes, devices which allow electrical stimulation microinjections drugs same sites. Stepwise increases intensity IC rats placed inside circular arena allowed determination thresholds freezing escape...
ABSTRACT Time–intensity analysis was applied for sweet and sour tastes strawberry flavor of six commercial brands jam. For this test, 11 subjects, between 25 35 years old, were selected from an initial 12‐member group. An affective with 117 consumers also carried out the results analyzed by internal preference mapping. The least accepted samples ones lowest sweetness intensity, indicating that jam prefer sweeter products. Also, one them presented a higher sourness which may have had negative...
The study of biodiversity for species recovery and sustainable use has encouraged research with plants from Brazilian savannah. We aimed to characterize chemical sensory properties infusions passifloras, due their potential as functional beverages. Infusions hydroalcoholic extracts four wild three varieties Passiflora edulis a commercial passiflora tea were evaluated total phenolics (TPs), flavonoids (TFs), condensed tannins (CTs), antioxidant activity (DPPH FRAP).
