Academic Consortium Publications for August 2022

If cars drive too fast in a residential neighbourhood, one solution is to add speed bumps to force the cars to slow down. Can something similar be done to slow down fast eating? In a recent publication, Janani et al. (2022) set out to find out if food texture might be the speed bump of eating. These authors investigated how fast and slow eaters responded to food textures. The study looked at how oral processing behaviours were affected by hardness, thickness, lubrication, and unit size of the food pieces. Increasing hardness slowed eating most. Increasing thickness, decreasing lubrication, and having smaller unit sizes also helped slow down eating. But what was most effective for both fast and slow eaters was combinations of these texture changes. So now if you see someone gobbling food while driving too fast, you will know how to solve both problems. You can find this article and 8 others from the Compusense Academic Consortium below!

Quality

Quality

Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its sensory attributes and overall consumer perception to ensure it meets certain standards of excellence and consistency. These methods provide a consumer-centric assessment of product quality, ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards and drive continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf Life, Degree of Difference,

Difference from Control, In/Out, etc.

Quality test methods are used to evaluate a product based on its key attributes to ensure it meets specific standards of excellence for consistency. These methods provide an internal assessment of the product quality to adhere to quality standards and achieve customer satisfaction. Examples include, but are not limited to, Shelf-Life, Degree of Difference, Difference from Control, and In & Out methods.
