Understanding chemosensory perception in food and its role in shaping consumer preferences could contribute to the development of both successful innovative food products and strategies for promoting healthy and sustainable eating behavior.
This Special Issue will include studies describing the taste, olfactory, and trigeminal perception of food and/or the physiological, cognitive, psychological, and genetic factors affecting it. Research works investigating the individual differences in chemosensory perception and its implications on consumer food preferences and health are strongly welcomed. Cross-cultural studies are of particular interest. This includes papers on responsiveness measurements based on sensory and non-sensory (e.g., neuroimaging) methods and their correlation with instrumental techniques (e.g., VOC analysis, e-nose, e-tongue, etc.).
We aim to expand the knowledge on chemosensory perception in food with an interdisciplinary perspective. We encourage authors to submit original research articles or reviews addressing the topic from different disciplines, including (but not limited to) sensory science, consumer science, food science and technology, psychology, neuroscience, nutrition, and genetics.
