TLDR
A growing body of research now shows that by synchronizing eating sounds with the act of consumption, one can change a person's experience of what they think that they are eating.Abstract:
Sound is the forgotten flavour sense. You can tell a lot about the texture of a food—think crispy, crunchy, and crackly—from the mastication sounds heard while biting and chewing. The latest techniques from the field of cognitive neuroscience are revolutionizing our understanding of just how important what we hear is to our experience and enjoyment of food and drink. A growing body of research now shows that by synchronizing eating sounds with the act of consumption, one can change a person’s experience of what they think that they are eating.read more

Multisensory Flavor Perception
TL;DR: This Perspective explores the contributions of distinct senses to the authors' perception of food and the growing realization that the same rules of multisensory integration that have been thoroughly explored in interactions between audition, vision, and touch may also explain the combination of the (admittedly harder to study) flavor senses.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the psychological impact of food colour
TL;DR: In this article, a large body of laboratory research has demonstrated that changing the hue or intensity/saturation of the colour of food and beverage items can exert a sometimes dramatic impact on the expectations, and hence on the subsequent experiences, of consumers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digitizing the chemical senses
TL;DR: This review, with the focus squarely on the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), summarizes the state-of-the-art in the area and suggests that mixed reality solutions are currently the most plausible as far as delivering flavour experiences digitally is concerned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extrinsic Auditory Contributions to Food Perception & Consumer Behaviour: an Interdisciplinary Review.
TL;DR: The latest evidence concerning the various ways in which what the authors hear can influence what they taste leads to the growing realization that the crossmodal influences of music and noise on food perception and consumer behaviour may have some important if, as yet, unrecognized implications for public health.

The Role of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Sensory Factors in Sweetness Perception of Food and Beverages: A Review.
Qian Janice Wang,Line Ahm Mielby,Jonas Yde Junge,Anne Sjoerup Bertelsen,Ulla Kidmose,Charles Spence,Derek V. Byrne +6 more
TL;DR: A new framework of multisensory flavour integration is proposed focusing not on the food-intrinsic/extrinsics divide, but rather on whether the sensory information is perceived to originate from within or outside the body.

Development of an acoustic measurement system for analyzing crispiness during mechanical and sensory testing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an acoustic measurement system for analyzing crispiness and correlate its results with sensory evaluation, where four biscuits (Crackerbread, Table Water, Rich Tea and Shortbread) were punctured using an Instron Universal Testing Machine.

Chew Count as a Measure of Tenderness of Pork Loins with Various Degrees of Marblinga
G. Harrington,Albert M. Pearson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mean chew counts by six tasters for 36 loins ranged from 25.3 to 47.0 with one exceptional value at 60.0, with a high correlation with mean shear values based on 10 shears per loin.

The Omnivorous Mind: Our Evolving Relationship with Food
TL;DR: The Omnivorous Mind as discussed by the authors explores the role of food in our evolving brain and the preoccupations of contemporary foodies, and provides insights into food aversions and cravings, compulsive need to label foods as good or bad, dietary deviation from "healthy" food pyramids, and cross-cultural attitudes toward eating.

The kitchen as laboratory : reflections on the science of food and cooking
TL;DR: In this paper, a global collaboration of essays, chefs and scientists advance culinary knowledge by testing hypotheses rooted in the physical and chemical properties of food Using traditional and cutting-edge tools, ingredients, and techniques, these pioneers create, and sometimes revamp, dishes that respond to specific desires and serve up an original encounter with gastronomic practice.

Attributes believed to impact flavor: an opinion survey
TL;DR: This paper conducted a survey on 140 individuals in various areas of specialization (agriculture, food science, sensory evaluation, and the chemical senses) to see what sensations are thought to be involved in "flavor", as well as whether there were any differences in definitions across groups.
