Research Summary

When we consume foods or beverages, many sensory inputs are perceived simultaneously, and they can affect each other. My research interests relate to what happens within these complex systems, whether they are interactions between tastes, aromas, or textures.

My work at Monell will specifically investigate the intricate physical sensations known as mouthfeel. We will use surveys and statistical methods to develop a definition that encompasses mouthfeel’s full range of complexities.
