A publication that caught our attention this month comes from an all-star roster of sensory researchers Sara Spinelli, Helene Hopfer, Victor Moulinier, John Prescott, Erminio Monteleone, John E. Hayes. The paper, just published in Food Quality and Preference, is called “Distinct sensory hedonic functions for sourness in adults” and investigates sour liking in adults. Three sourness liking patterns were found, where about 1/8 of adults like intense sourness. One takeaway message is to be wary of averaging over dissimilar consumers, which almost always misses the real story. Kudos to the authors one of the fine publications this month from members of the Compusense Academic Consortium.
