Domestic cooking methods affect nutrient, phytochemicals, and flavor content in mushroom soup

Contributions of Nonvolatile Phytochemicals to Nutrition and Flavor

Small fruit are rich in several types of phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals. These compounds have health functional properties that may protect humans from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Several of these phytochemicals, such as dietary fiber, anthocyanins, and polyphenolics, also contribute to small fruit quality. Other components contribute to appearance and taste. Nonvolatile...

Predictive learning in nutrient-based flavor conditioning.

This paper presents two experiments on nutrient-based flavor conditioning with rats as subjects and sucrose as the unconditioned stimulus (US). Experiment 1 was aimed at establishing an optimal control for conditioning, comparing simultaneous and serial presentations of a flavor and the US. The results showed that simultaneous, but not serial training, produced conditioning. Experiment 2 was de...

Effect of cooking temperatures on protein hydrolysates and sensory quality in crucian carp (Carassius auratus) soup.

Cooking methods have a significant impact on flavour compounds in fish soup. The effects of cooking temperatures (55, 65, 75, 85, 95, and 100 °C) on sensory properties and protein hydrolysates were studied in crucian carp (Carassius auratus) soup. The results showed that the soup prepared at 85 °C had the best sensory quality in color, flavour, amour, and soup pattern. Cooking temperature had s...

Thermodynamic Cooking Methods

Genetic evaluations for traditional carcass characteristics have been published for limited numbers of sires by various beef breed associations. Collection of carcass information is difficult, which limits the amount of information generated for these traits. The routine carcass field data collected do not include observations for measures of tenderness or any information on sensory panel asses...
