Sensory characterization and acceptance of coffee brews of C. arabica and C. canephora blended with steamed defective coffee.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Steam treatment has been reported as an alternative to improve the cup quality of coffee; in this research, it was applied to C. canephora defective coffee. The aim of the study was to evaluate the sensory perception of steamed defective C. canephora...

Dual solid-phase and stir bar sorptive extraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis provides a suitable tool for assaying limonene-derived mint aroma compounds in red wine.

Analytica chimica acta
A novel analytical method was developed for quantitative determination of eight limonene-derived monoterpenes responsible for the mint aroma in red wine. As these aromatic compounds are present at trace levels, a new dual extraction approach was prop...

Machine-Learning-Based Olfactometer: Prediction of Odor Perception from Physicochemical Features of Odorant Molecules.

Analytical chemistry
Gas chromatography/olfactometry (GC/O) has been used in various fields as a valuable method to identify odor-active components from a complex mixture. Since human assessors are employed as detectors to obtain the olfactory perception of separated odo...

Development of a partial least squares-artificial neural network (PLS-ANN) hybrid model for the prediction of consumer liking scores of ready-to-drink green tea beverages.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
In order to develop products that would be preferred by consumers, the effects of the chemical compositions of ready-to-drink green tea beverages on consumer liking were studied through regression analyses. Green tea model systems were prepared by do...

Using insects to drive mobile robots - hybrid robots bridge the gap between biological and artificial systems.

Arthropod structure & development
The use of mobile robots is an effective method of validating sensory-motor models of animals in a real environment. The well-identified insect sensory-motor systems have been the major targets for modeling. Furthermore, mobile robots implemented wit...

The ontogeny of kin-recognition mechanisms in Belding's ground squirrels.

Physiology & behavior
Despite extensive research on the functions and mechanisms of kin recognition, little is known about developmental changes in the abilities mediating such recognition. Belding's ground squirrels, Urocitellus beldingi, use at least two mechanisms of k...

Insect-controlled Robot: A Mobile Robot Platform to Evaluate the Odor-tracking Capability of an Insect.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Robotic odor source localization has been a challenging area and one to which biological knowledge has been expected to contribute, as finding odor sources is an essential task for organism survival. Insects are well-studied organisms with regard to ...

Classification of the fragrant styles and evaluation of the aromatic quality of flue-cured tobacco leaves by machine-learning methods.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
During commercial transactions, the quality of flue-cured tobacco leaves must be characterized efficiently, and the evaluation system should be easily transferable across different traders. However, there are over 3000 chemical compounds in flue-cure...

Composition of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum radix oil from different extraction methods and activities against human body odor-producing bacteria.

Journal of food and drug analysis
In this study, oils from Asarum heterotropoides were extracted by traditional solvent extraction and supercritical CO (SC-CO) extraction methods and their antioxidant activities along with antimicrobial and inhibitory activities against five human bo...

Towards biological plausibility of electronic noses: A spiking neural network based approach for tea odour classification.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The paper presents a novel encoding scheme for neuronal code generation for odour recognition using an electronic nose (EN). This scheme is based on channel encoding using multiple Gaussian receptive fields superimposed over the temporal EN responses...
