Special Issue Information

“Dear Colleagues,

People live in their individual sensory worlds. We are different in sensitivity in chemosensory perception. There is a direct link between sensory perception and eating habits via multisensory food perception.  The roles of taste, smell and chemesthesis in food-related perception contexts are very important to understand more efficiently.

This Special Issue of Foods invites researchers to submit manuscripts bringing novel scientific contribution to research that connects human sensory perception (chemical senses) sensitivity to food perception. Research may include sense of taste, smell or chemesthesis together or separately, as well as singly or various modalities of taste, smell or chemesthesis. In addition, the study may involve food flavor combining perception of taste, smell and chemesthesis. Food perception may contain sensory or consumer research focusing on different kinds of edible and drinkable food products or meals. Sensitivity in human sensory perception may be linked to phenotypes or genotypes. Both the original research and review articles are welcome. Research-based evidence of interaction between individual differences in chemosensory perception and food perception helps one to understand further the possibilities and challenges in food choices and consumption. This knowledge helps to guide people toward a healthier diet.”
