THE MICROELECTRODE technique, by permitting observations of the spike trains from single sensory neurons, has broadened our understanding of sensory information processing by the central nervous system. Since technical limitations prohibit the maintenance of prolonged electrical contact with a single neuron, a relatively brief sample of the single-unit record is often the basis for characterizi...

In this work sensory characteristics of cookies with different amount of chestnut flour were determined by sensory and instrumental methods. The wheat flour for cookies was substituted with chestnut flour in three different levels (20, 40 and 60%) and the dough moisture was 22%. The control sample was with 100% of wheat flour. Sensory quality of the cookies was described using quantity descript...

Varying processing conditions can strongly affect the microstructure of mayonnaise, opening up new applications for the creation of products tailored to meet different consumer preferences. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of emulsification intensity on sensory and instrumental characteristics of full-fat mayonnaise. Mayonnaise, based on a standard recipe, was processed at low an...

The objective of current study was to investigate the effects of whey protein coating on the quality of common kilka during frozen storage period. For this study, common kilka was coated with 12% whey protein concentration. Also, non- coated kilka was used as a control sample. Coated and non-coated samples were then stored at -18 oC for six months. Bacterial, chemical and sensory properties of ...

UNLABELLED In 2002, Spring et al reported a family with an autosomal dominant form of hereditary sensory neuropathy; patients also presented adult onset of gastroesophageal reflux and cough. Since then, no further families have been described. OBJECTIVE To study a new Portuguese family with these characteristics. METHOD To describe the clinical and neurophysiologic characteristics of one fa...

Background/aims: Past studies have explored some of the associations between particular motor and sensory characteristics and specific categories of non-neurological infantile nystagmus. The purpose of this case study is to extend this body of work significantly by describing the trends and associations found in a database of 224 subjects who have undergone extensive clinical and psychophysical...

The aim of the study was to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented, cured sausages made from equivalent muscle groups of beef, pork, and sheepmeat. The last has no commercial examples and represents an unexploited opportunity. Using seven replicates of shoulder meat and subcutaneous fat, sausages were made with 64%, 29%, 4%, 2%, 0.2%, and 0.01% of lean meat, fat, N...

Postural dysfunctions are prevalent in patients with schizophrenia and affect their daily life and ability to work. In addition, sensory functions and sensory integration that are crucial for postural control are also compromised. This study intended to examine how patients with schizophrenia coordinate multiple sensory systems to maintain postural stability in dynamic sensory conditions. Twent...

Štern P., pokorný J., Šedivá A., Panovská Z. (2008): Rheological and sensory characteristics of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 190–198. Rheological and textural characteristics were studied in a set of 11 samples of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise at 15, 20, and 25°C. The rheometer Rheostress 300 was used to determine the static yield value, apparent viscosity, thixotropy, and...
