  • Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing Within and Between the Senses

    Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing Within and Between the Senses

    foods Review Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing within and between the Senses Charles Spence Crossmodal Research Laboratory, Oxford University, Oxford OX2 6GG, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 21 March 2020; Published: 1 April 2020 Abstract: This review summarizes the various outcomes that may occur when two or more elements are paired in the context of flavour perception. In the first part, I review the literature concerning what happens when flavours, ingredients, and/or culinary techniques are deliberately combined in a dish, drink, or food product. Sometimes the result is fusion but, if one is not careful, the result can equally well be confusion instead. In fact, blending, mixing, fusion, and flavour pairing all provide relevant examples of how the elements in a carefully-crafted multi-element tasting experience may be combined. While the aim is sometimes to obscure the relative contributions of the various elements to the mix (as in the case of blending), at other times, consumers/tasters are explicitly encouraged to contemplate/perceive the nature of the relationship between the contributing elements instead (e.g., as in the case of flavour pairing). There has been a noticeable surge in both popular and commercial interest in fusion foods and flavour pairing in recent years, and various of the ‘rules’ that have been put forward to help explain the successful combination of the elements in such food and/or beverage experiences are discussed. In the second part of the review, I examine the pairing of flavour stimuli with music/soundscapes, in the emerging field of ‘sonic seasoning’.

Is that ginger I detect? Or pink grapefruit with a spicy kick? With all of the different taste sensations possible, the five basic tastes remind me of the Chicago seasons. While we technically have four seasons (winter, spring, summer, and fall), in reality, every month is a separate season—a combination of the previous month’s weather and the next month’s. And with these 12 seasons—some of them changing in a matter of days or even hours—living in Chicago may be unpredictable, but it sure is exciting. And the same thing holds true for food formulating with the taste groups.

    Love Is a Postcard from a Faraway Place

    Love is a Postcard from a Faraway Place By Gwendolyn Rice Act 1, Scene 1. Bacon Mark is in his late 20s/early 30s, casually dressed. He’s not a hipster, but he’s not a slob either. At rise, he is a bit agitated because he’s recently had a fight with his girlfriend about bacon. Mark I only eat things with bacon. It’s really not that hard. There’s bacon in soup, bacon in salad. Maple donuts with bacon, chocolate covered bacon, filet mignon wrapped in bacon, dates wrapped in bacon, oysters wrapped in bacon. Oooh! Ooh! Next time you’re in a restaurant order desert with a side of bacon! They’ll do it, they don’t care. Where was I? Oh yeah, bacon cheeseburgers, BLTs... there’s a restaurant in New York where you can get bacon infused brandy. Seriously... liquid bacon — with booze. My girlfriend doesn’t appreciate meat flavored liquor. She’s a health nut. She cleanses, she takes spin classes, she zumbas... whatever that is. She does not eat bacon. I didn’t even realize it when we first got together. Brenda was a friend of a friend, it was a matchmaker thing. My friend Dan made sure we kept running into each other at parties, coffee shops, pretty much anywhere Dan was. Well Brenda and I were already pretty into each other the first time we had dinner. When she heard me order it was like a saber toothed insectoid head had just popped out of my chest and ordered the charcuterie plate.

    Effectiveness of Concomitant Use of Green Tea and Polyethylene Glycol in Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy

    Hao et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2020) 20:150 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-020-01220-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Effectiveness of concomitant use of green tea and polyethylene glycol in bowel preparation for colonoscopy: a randomized controlled study Zong Hao1†, Lifeng Gong1†, Qiang Shen2, Huipeng Wang1, Shaowen Feng1, Xin Wang1, Yuankun Cai1* and Jun Chen3* Abstract Background: Polyethylene glycol solution (PEG) is widely used for bowel preparation prior to colonoscopies. However, patients often exhibited adverse events as nausea, vomit and distention due to its uncomfortable tastes and potential side affects. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concomitant use of green tea (GT) with PEG in bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled study. It was conducted at an outpatient setting of colorectal surgery in a tertiary hospital. Patients aged 18 through 80 who were scheduled to undergo colonoscopy between August 2015 and February 2016 were randomly assigned into two groups, admitting either 2 L-PEG solutions with 1 L GT liquids or 2 L-PEG solutions only for bowel preparation. Admitted doses of PEG solutions, taste evaluation, adverse reactions (nausea and vomiting, distention and abdominal pain) were investigated by questionnaires. The bowel cleanliness of each patient was evaluated according to the Aronchick indicators. Results: A total of 116 patients were enrolled in this study (PEG+GT 59, PEG 57). Full compliances were achieved in 93.2% patients of group PEG+GT and 59.6% of group PEG (p < 0.001). Mean Aronchick scale between two groups were 2.0 ± 0.9 versus 2.2 ± 0.7 respectively (PEG+GT vs PEG, p = 0.296).

We also offer delicious sweets and savories and invite you to take a moment to relax: This is Chado. Chado is pronounced “sado” in Japanese. It comes from the Chinese words CHA (“tea”) and TAO (“way”) and translates “way of tea.” It refers not just to the Japanese tea ceremony, but also to an ancient traditional practice that has been evolving for 5,000 years or more. Tea is quiet and calms us as we enjoy it. No matter who you are or where you live, tea is sure to make you feel better and more civilized. No pleasure is simpler, no luxury less expensive, no consciousness-altering agent more benign. Chado is a way to health and happiness that people have loved for thousands of years. Thank you for joining us. Your hosts, Reena, Devan & Tek A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHADO Chado opened on West 3rd Street in 1990 as a small, almost quaint tearoom with few tables, but with 300 canisters of teas from all over the globe lining the walls. In 1993, Reena Shah and her husband, Devan, acquired Chado and began quietly revolutionizing how people in greater Los Angeles think of tea.
