The bitter taste of many protein rich foods resides in the peptide fraction. 61 bitter tasting peptides, isolated from natural systems, and 145 bitter tasting synthetic peptides are reviewed. The relationships between average hydrophobicity and bitter taste are then discussed.

Abstract We conducted a combined sensory and discrete choice experiment study with 100% beef burger, plant‐based burger using pea protein, animal‐like blended 70% 30% mushroom involving US consumers. Respondents were either assigned to blind or an informed tasting condition information about the ingredients before burgers. Results reveal that (i) burgers are preferred over alternatives, (ii) co...

Blind tasting — tasting without knowing the wine’s producer, origin, or other details obtainable from the wine’s label— has become something of a fetish in the wine world. We are told, repeatedly and insistently, that blind tasting is the best, most neutral, least biased, and most honest evaluative procedure, and one that should be employed to the exclusion of non-blind/sighted tasting (which, ...

Scientific literature has shown that a partial replacement of meat-based foods with plant-based would be beneficial for public health and the environment. However, both lack sensory attractiveness consumer awareness regarding benefits rebalancing diets in favor plant protein partially explain low market shares meat alternatives.
