Academic Consortium Publications for April 2023

Some researchers estimate that more than half the world’s people will be either obese or overweight within the next 15 years. The negative health implications of overweight and obesity are well documented. In a recent study to be published in Journal of Food Science, Lima et al. (2023) find evidence of an association between weight classification (eutrophic, overweight, obese) and sweet taste perception. Consumers evaluated five passionfruit fruit nectar samples that were prepared with different sucrose concentrations using temporal dominance of sensations. Their results indicate that overweight and obese individuals perceive sweet tastes less than eutrophic individuals. Findings support the hypothesis that sensory perception and weight are linked.
